📍 TOP 5 STUDYING TECHNIQUES

◾FEYNMANN METHOD

- Begin with studying your lesson, and then pretend you're teaching someone a certain subject so you can be aware of or familiar with your notes and learning. Throughout the process, try to identify your weak points and look for ways to address them. Also, simplify some broad and complex definitions.

◾BLURTING METHOD

- This method requires you to start by reading your notes for 10-15 minutes. Then, write down every single thing you remember from your notes on a separate piece of paper. Following that, use a different colored pen to write down any information that you missed. Simply repeat this until you have it completely memorized.

◾ POMODORO METHOD

Set a timer for 5 minutes, and when the timer goes off, proceed to the next page. It's also an ideal strategy to manage your time depending on the lesson topics, such as 25 minutes for Lesson #1, 30 minutes for Lesson #2, and so on. Simply set the timer to the time you prefer and then review.

◾ BROWN/WHITE NOISE

- Music/audio will be used in this study approach, however it is supposed to be a rumbling sound with a bass-like tone rather than a typical tune. To put it simply, you will be using an earphone or headphone to listen either to brown or white noise while studying or reviewing the lectures.

◾ SPACED REPETITION

- This is the strategy in which an individual is encouraged to "study everyday" in order to readily memorize lectures or material. You have to develop a practice exam or sample questions to answer, which will require time in your schedule for review. Also, good time management skills are required because you will need to set an interval date when creating a schedule, such as day 1, day 3, day 5, and so on.

✅ Given that this will be part of your daily routine, it requires effort and time management skills.
