My test study method:
When it comes time to study for the test, I usually start 2-3 days before the
test. I go through my notes and make flashcards on what was important for those
sections, paying special attention to what the teacher said would be on the
test if there was a review session. Also, I go through the book and read the
inset stories and add to my flashcards. If there are practice problems or
online assignments or old test, I use those to help me study for the test as
well. Once the test is over, I keep the flashcards so that I have them for the
next test or for the final. Flashcards are a marvelous learning tool. The key
to remembering something is to repeat it numerous times-spaced rehearsal. If you
forget something, it is because you haven’t repeated it enough times for an
extended period of time. Repetition is a law of learning; therefore to learn
and remember, to recall, it mandatory that you repeat over and over the things
you desire to learn and remember. You may be thinking, “Oh, no, repeating
something.” You need to get used to it. For example, the more you practice a
song on the piano, the better you become in playing that song. Learning and
remembering is like playing the piano-the more you practice saying it or doing
it the better you can remember it. Look now at what you remember. You remember
it because you have repeated it numerous times since first being exposed to it.
So, Practice rehearsing those things you desire to remember, and they will
stick with you.
Practice-> Proficiency-> Pleasure
