With the third quarter ending and the end of the school year coming close to an end, many students have time to reflect on their current year. For students they either have a hard time doing good on tests and quizzes, or they have an easy time. Every student has a different way on studying and, for some it can really make a difference.
Multiple students take the easy, but lazy route of not studying. For some they are simply able to remember the information on the top of their head due to their memory. For others they just have no want or need to study depending on how much they undertsand the course.
Other students have simple to large studying plans. Junior Bethany Stufflet uses the source of study guides and Quizlets to help her study. Study guides help give her the summed up information which takes some pressure off of studying by already giving her a plan. Quizlet’s help her make quick flashcards in order to study fast. After she understands the basics of her material, she just wishes herself the best when it comes time to the quiz or test.
Another student Morgan Riegel also uses Quizlet as a way to make flashcards as an easy resource. Study guides are another one of her go to studying techniques, but not all of her classes give them to her so it makes a struggle at times. When it comes to a class that does not have flashcard material like math or science, she goes over previous practice problems to help get the material to stick in her head. Along with her time of studying, she likes to take productive breaks for an hour or so, such as walking, that help keep her mind clear. Morgan, unlike msot of her other classmates, does not have many free times during a school day which limits her studying time to only at home. Overall she feels that her current studying techniques have been successful.
My studying technique also uses flash cards on Quizlet for simple vocabulary and formulas, but I also like to memorize orders of material, and I like to make practice problems, especially in math and science. Usually anytime I have to study I make a plan either before I study, or mid studying. After a while I get too tired studying, and I will either take a break or go to bed and decide to wake up early to study. I use Quizlet for most of my classes as I can make flashcards very easily, but I also use the learning feature which helps me understand new material. Overall my studying techniques have been successful currently, but depending on the effort that I put in it makes a difference on my exams.
