Poll: Study Tips

[Neonbob]

Turn off The escapist...

That's about the biggest piece of advice I can give you, and THAT GUY beat me to it!
If you're going to ask for tips, and then stick around here, it will only get progressively harder to pull away from the site.
LEAVE NOW, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

In response to the poll: Micro-Electronics has a pretty 95% floating next to it.

As to studying... I generally avoid studying. I do my best to pay attention during the lessons and when I have that subject again I refresh it by looking through my notes in the morning. Works pretty good as long as I don't get sick and have to stay home.
The key is understanding what they teach you. If you don't know the thought behind a formula it will be a disaster to remember.

You retain 20% of what you hear, 80% of what you read and 100% of what you write. If you want to learn something, write it down. Just the very act of writing it down helps your memory. Compile everything that you need to know for your exams and write it down (typing is okay). Then do it a second time. Then do the exam. You will pass.

English is my best, although I haven't got a clue how I'm gonna revise for it for my GCSE's.

I'm good with English and History. The best way to study is to constantly take notes. And don't just copy notes and read them off, because if you write something down it's more likely that you will remember it. I know this because my teacher normally makes us write down notes and I remember the ones that I've written down better than the one's that she's printed out and passed out to us.

Take notes and do your homework. I guess. I'm not exactly a paragon of scholastic achievement, but that advice seems reasonably sound.

I've never studied in my life.

 

[GodofDisaster]

Study? I rarely do that, I usually just leave it to the last second, and I get on fine with ever test I've taken.

Execpt for maths, I've failed almost ever maths test thrown at me. I just suck at it. Believe me there is not a teacher in this world, that can teach me maths.

Well, all of my marks always seemed to be within the same general area, so there's not really any big subject that I was best in...
Though, my math mark always seemed lower than the others, but I blame that on the way my teacher marked (she marked hard and made things out of four, so if you only made two mistakes you got 50%. It was ridiculous.)
Although, from off the top of my head, French and Drama were generally my best, plus my Canadian History course...

But really, if you want to study, take the advice of Neonbob and comadorcrack.
You will not be able to study to the best of your ability if you stay on this site.
Trust me, I had problems even when I was only lurking here.
Log off, and you will find it that much easier to concentrate.

Ok, for every subject other than math and grammar, USE F*CKING FLASH CARDS, they work so well, and you learn and retain so much

For math, just do the problems, all of them, practice all the time, write them on the wall next to your bed and do them when you get a midnight snack

I don't know how you study grammar though, memorized the rules i guess.
