Part 1

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 the teacher said. 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 the final. Flash cards are a marvelous learning tool. The key to remembering something is to repeat it numerous times-spaces rehearsal. If you forget something, it is because you haven’t repeated it enough time for an extended period of time. Repetition is a law of learning; therefore, to learn and remember, to recall, it is 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 at playing that song. Learning and remembering is like playing the piano-the more practice saying 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, practicing rehearsing those things you desire to remember, and they will stick with you. The better you remember, the more you pleasure you obtain from studying and learning.
