Learning suddenly before the exam is not effective. At least a month before the replay is not an ideal time for repeat lessons. Content that much is not a problem. There are ten smart way so that when we learn to be effective.
1. Learning is understood not just memorize
Yes, the main function of why we have to learn is to understand new things. We may memorized 100% of all the details of lessons, but more important is whether we have understood very well with all the memorized material. So before memorizing, always try to understand first outline the subject matter.
2. Reading is the key to learning
So that we can understand, read the new material a minimum of two times a day, ie, before and after the matter was explained by the teacher. Because the brain is processing the material as much as three times so it can be guaranteed will be stored for a long time in our brain.
3. Take note of the main points of the lesson
Leave a lengthy lesson notes. Take the essence or the conclusion of each lesson has been read again. The key words here are useful later when we repeat the lesson during the exam.
4. Remember the key words
Sometimes, inevitably we have to memorize the subject matter quite a lot. Actually this can be circumvented. Make the key words from each of memorizing, so memorable in the brain when we called him. For example, the keyword for the names of the colors of the rainbow is MEJIKUHIBINIU, meaning red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
5. Select the appropriate study time
Learn the most convenient time is on our body saaat still fresh. Indeed, not everyone has the time to learn the same tasty lo. But usually, the morning is a great time to concentrate fully. Use this time to process new materials. The remains of the energy can be used to repeat the lessons and homework.
6. Build a comfortable learning atmosphere
Many things can be made into a comfortable learning atmosphere. We can select the songs that fit our mood. Place our study can also be adjusted. If you are bored in the room could be on the terrace or in the library. The key lest we disturb the learning activity and disturbed by others.
7. Form Study Group
Then again bored studying alone, can learn together with friends. Do not have a lot for not going to be effective, a maximum of five people. Create division of the material to be learned each person. Then each person in turn explain the material mastered it to the other members. Learning environment like this are usually exciting and we are guaranteed going to be hard to sleepy.
8. Train yourself our ability
Actually, we can train our own brainpower. At the end of each chapter lesson, usually always given practice questions. Without the need to wait for instructions from the teacher, try to answer all the questions and check the extent of our ability. If the answer is no material in the book, try to ask the teacher.
9. Develop materials that have been studied
If we have to repeat the material and answer all the exercises, do not immediately close the book. Try our critical thinking style of scientists. Make some questions that have not been included in the exercises. Ask the teacher to answer it. If not satisfied, find the answer on the other reference books or the Internet. This way invites us to always think ahead and critical.
10. Take time to rest
Learning may be tight, but do not forget to take a break. When in class, every pause the lesson to use to relax the body and mind. Every 30-45 minutes of study time at home we always interspersed with rest. If the mind is too late, it's useless to force myself. After the break, the body becomes fresh and brain are ready to receive new material.
One again, the purpose of the tests and examination is to measure the extent of our ability to understand the subject matter at school. Besides answering practice questions, there are other ways to test whether we have understood the material or not. Let us explain with words alone any material that has been studied. If we can explain clearly and regularly, do not need the details, then we already know.
