| Study Tips
for Students Taking Tests |
You're in the thick of the school
year. It seems like there are so many things going on, like
assignments, projects, and extracurricular activities. Now a
test is coming up and you've got to do well on it. How should
you study so you do better on that test?
First of all, when you study for a test, you shouldn't be learning
something completely new. It is faster and easier to recall
something you have already learned than to learn something completely
new. After each day of classes, it is a good idea to review
everything you have learned. It doesn't have to be a long review
either. Simply jog through the day's topics. That way, you give
your brain another chance to soak up the information. Hopefully,
this review will make future studying less time consuming and
less of a learning process.
Where you study is important. Find a place that's readily available
with minimal distractions. A popular place to study is home.
However, for some, home can be too distracting as it is easy
to get sidetracked. What may help is if you study in a place
that's similar to the place where you're going to take the test.
When you study, you might associate certain topics with the
environment. So if you take the test in a similar environment,
you can more easily retrieve these associations. For example,
if you're going to write a test in a gymnasium, it may help
to study in a gymnasium.
Some people study well in a group since they can get help from
others in areas in which they are lacking. They may also gain
insight from others on what they have overlooked and which areas
to focus on for the test. On the other hand, some people study
well alone. They know what they have to study. Also, a group
can be distracting as they engage in off-topic conversation
or try to do everything but study. You're the one who knows
yourself the best, so determine what works best for you.
There are a variety of methods you can use when studying. For
example, when studying for a test, you can do different things,
like reading through your textbook, reading through course notes,
answering textbook questions, redoing past assignments, reviewing
previous tests, researching online, talking with others, and
more. You can also use memory-improving techniques like mnemonics,
visualization, and association. Try a combination of different
studying methods and track your results.
A method that works well for most people is studying in small
pieces instead of large blocks of time. Studying in large blocks
of time increases the chance that you will overwhelm your brain
with information and start forgetting things. If you study in
small pieces of time, you aren't absorbing all of this information
at once and get chances to rest. Furthermore, you should rehearse
what you study and do it in expanding time intervals. For example,
if you study ten digits of PI, you could attempt to rehearse
the ten digits in one minute, then two minutes, then four minutes,
and so on.
In addition, state of being is important for studying. It has
been shown that if you study while intoxicated, you will do
better if you take the test while intoxicated. If you study
while sober, you will do better if you take the test while sober.
The sober case showed better results than the intoxicated case.
Thus it's better to stay away from the drinks while studying
and while taking the test.
Finally, make sure you eat healthy and get a good night's sleep
before the test. If you think there is not enough time to sleep,
take a look at some time management tips so you can help use
and manage your time more efficiently.
