Tips On How To Study Effectively || Pg 5 / 5

 

9. TEST YOURSELF

Getting someone to quiz you – or quizzing yourself – is great retrieval practice.

This learning technique helps you commit information to your long-term memory and easily retrieve it when needed.

 

Recalling an answer to a question improves learning, as does writing down that answer – you’re committing it to memory.

 

You might find it helpful to create flash cards each time you learn a new topic. Flash cards can have questions on them or have a prompt that triggers the recall of relevant information.
 

Ask a parent, friend, housemate or study buddy to quiz you, using your flash cards. The act of creating them alone will help you better retain information and is an effective study technique.

 

10. FIND A STUDY BUDDY OR JOIN A STUDY GROUP

One of the best ways to study is to share the experience with another person.

 

It can be beneficial to find a study buddy – or even form a study group with like-minded students.
 
Your study buddy/group can:
 
A. keep you motivated
B. help you stay accountable
C. quiz and test you on course material
D. read over your work to offer advice
E. share resources, such as textbooks, lowering expenses.
