Effective ways of studying


Effective learning

When the session is fast approaching, many students wake up from sleep and look with horror at the passing time that is left until the exams. They start to panic and think about how to quickly absorb a huge amount of information and not go crazy. In this blog I will present the most effective ways to learn quickly.

A lot of coffee

The most popular method among students is to drink hectoliters of coffee or energy drinks and study all night before the exam. However, the results of such learning may not be entirely satisfying.
Systematic learning
If you want to save your nerves before the session, it is important to plan your studies well throughout the semester. An effective solution can be to set a definite time during the week to learn a specific subject and regularly follow this assumption. It is also important to clearly define how much time you want to spend on understanding the topic, making learning more effective.

Good notes

The day before the exam, it's worth refreshing all knowledge one last time. Unfortunately, textbooks are often very substantial. Due to this fact quick repetition is impossible.  A good solution to this problem is to make your own notes in advance, in which you will write the most important information in the most accessible way for you. Moreover, you will also remember the material faster when taking notes.

Flashcards

Flashcards are my favorite way of learning, especially vocabulary. On one page of a small piece of sheet, write down the word or topic, which you are about to learn and on the other side, a definition in another language or explanation. Later, you just move the cartons until you remember their contents. I highly recommend an online service  www.quzilet.com where you can enter your flashcards, hear their pronunciation and practice writing.

Mind maps

When you have an advanced and extensive subject or you are a visual learner, mind maps can be an effective way. They consist in describing the main topic and dividing it into categories from which specific issues are extracted. To create a mind map, you can use a large number of colors and pictures, as well as frames and arrows.

Learning in a group

If learning alone is not your cup of tea, it is worth learning with another person. Not only will it be fun but it will be also more effective. If you choose this method, you will motivate each other and solve incomprehensible issues together. What is  more, learning in a group allows you to test your knowledge easier by doing quizzes or asking and answering questions.
During the long learning, you should also remember about the appropriate conditions. It is worth ventilating the room, taking care of silence, good light and the lack of distractions such as a telephone or a computer. In addition, you should drink plenty of water and take breaks regularly to give your brain a rest. The optimal break should last about 10 minutes.

There is no rescue from the session 😉 Fortunately, there are many ways of learning efficiently. Try a few to see which one suits you the best.
