Time management, scheduling study sessions effectively, prevents burnout and enhances productivity.

Understanding what you read and take notes as you’re reading can help you remember what the paragraph talked about. Also, mentally preparing for each test.

Summarizing is to take what you’ve read and put it in your own words. To know that you’ve understood it. If you’ve read several paragraphs try to summarize it in 4 sentences.

Rewriting the information, in a way that you can easily understand, use key vocabulary terms. Being able to reteacher yourself the information.

2024-08-19 23:08:35 UTC

Take notes as you’re reading that are easy for you to understand! Also verbally teaching the information to someone else will help you retain the information yourself.

If you get it wrong, write it out and revisit it.

2024-08-19 23:11:48 UTC

Repeated review even the ones you got right or feel like you already know.

2024-08-19 23:11:50 UTC

Rewriting out information that you got wrong by hand and do it again

2024-08-19 23:12:12 UTC

Allowing time to think and allow your brain to remember the term. Revisiting the terms that you have the most trouble with and review before the test.

2024-08-19 23:12:42 UTC

Reading the cards slowly and waiting to reveal the answer. Give yourself time. Don’t rush. Again write it in a way you can remember the key content.

2024-08-19 23:12:44 UTC

Revisit tricky ones and physically write it out

2024-08-19 23:13:13 UTC

Repeated review on the flashcards, saving for the later the ones you are struggling with. Come back to the those later

Talking yourself through each question, hearing yourself say what you’re reading out loud is a good strategy. You are able to hear it in your own words and discuss which answers make the most sense by what you’re hearing from the question.

2024-08-19 23:22:11 UTC

Think out aloud helps you talk through the problem , reading it out

Argue it out - if you have 2 choices back them up and see which one works best

Use the feedback tells you why is it correct or why it’s wrong

2024-08-19 23:23:35 UTC

Reading feedback and understanding why the answer was correct and why your answer was wrong. Arguing out the two questions you’re stuck on and seeing which question has the strongest argument is helpful.

2024-08-19 23:23:50 UTC

Think out loud- talking out loud to yourself like a madman putting on a one person show.

Argue it out- become a lawyer with the questions fights for your answer.

Use feedback- read the feedback and understand it don’t just read and continue on.

2024-08-19 23:24:48 UTC

Thinking aloud can help you slow down and make sure you read and understand the question.

2024-08-19 23:26:19 UTC

I like the argue it out loud method making a case for each answer allows you to comprehend the questions, this is also a good teaching opportunity to help teach the students.

2024-08-19 23:26:35 UTC

Thinking aloud to me is a helpful one, reading the question aloud and the answers aloud to make sure that I am not missreading a question and I'm getting the answer right.

Argue it out is one that I haven't used as much but I do see why it would be helpful especially when deciding between 2 answers.

Use the feedback is helpful to me especially if I get one wrong to go back and see what I did and understand why I chose the answer and to help understand the right choice

Switch it up try studying in a different environment like a coffee shop

2024-08-19 23:31:56 UTC

Stick with it, don’t just study one time. Study over weeks, stick with a schedule to avoid cramming.

2024-08-19 23:32:16 UTC

Spacing out your time means giving yourself time to revisit what you have studied to go back and revisit what you have learned.

2024-08-19 23:32:42 UTC

Spacing it out is a great suggestion, taking little bits of studying with little treats to drive you is super smart! Going for long hours stretches of just cramming information into your brain is not going to stick at all, but little bits with breaks after will help!

2024-08-19 23:32:57 UTC

Segment your time- giving yourself a small reward. I’ve seen someone put candy at the end of a chapter to help motivate them to read. I’m very food motivated so I feel like that would work for me.

2024-08-19 23:34:06 UTC

Segment is to set a goal and be able to set a timer to be able to study and reward yourself after you finish.

2024-08-19 23:35:05 UTC

Stick with it. Keep studying, don't stop after just 1 time of studying this help prevent you from cramming it all in at one time.

2024-08-19 23:36:26 UTC

Paraphrase to identify the objective like what are they asking for

2024-08-19 23:36:54 UTC

Identify the objective and restate it in your own words to make sure you know what you are looking for.

2024-08-19 23:38:37 UTC

Identify the objective- if you start with the objective you can find the answer in the question. Less confusion and time on having to reread.

2024-08-19 23:41:43 UTC

Predict the answer. Don't look at the answers and read the question say what the answer is and then look for the answer that you said. This also helps in you second guessing yourself.
