october. 🌿  found an old typewriter, which i am now trying to restore. found white flowers, which i have now pressed between pages of books. found newfound strength, found that it’s okay to cry. found new shadows in the changing light. only two months left in year and still: “i keep trying to be delicate. i’m not telling everything.” 🌿  insta 🌿

>>>> happy Sunday everyone!!!!

さいきんどう？

So I’ve been getting back into the swing of my lecture classes and wanted to share with you how I get from my notes to my study outlines.

As you can see in the top two photos, my note taking style is kinda crazy (there are lecture notes available to us but I don’t use them).

Then as an exercise and for exam review I organize and compress the entire lecture onto one notecard!

During exam week I keep two or 3 at a time in my pocket so I can look over them throughout the day.

Different ways to study

A few of you have been asking about ways to revise (that’s not just making notes). Here’s a list of some different techniques you can use to revise/study:

Notes - making notes is the ‘standard’ way of studying - summarising information from textbooks/revision guides into your own words

Mind-maps - making these is a great way to organise ideas and link different ideas

Posters - big and colourful posters are a great way to summarise info as well as a more fun way of working

Teaching - teaching others (anyone who will listen to you will do) is a great way, as it will really show whether you really know the info by how well you can explain it to someone who knows nothing about it

Videos - watching videos can be a nice and easy way to revise, and are useful for visual and/or auditory learners

Podcasts - you can download and listen to podcasts when you are walking to school etc. which is a great way to get extra revision in, and they’re great for auditory learners

Flashcards - these can be useful for making really concise notes, as well as making Q&A or key word and definition cards - they are also really compact so you can take them with you

Group study - working with friends can help bounce ideas off each other, bringing up things you might not have thought about alone - you will all have different strengths that will help each other out

Past questions - doing past papers and looking at mark schemes will help your timings and application of knowledge/exam technique

Write (don’t type) - making notes on tablets/laptops is fine, but when it comes to writing practise essays always write because that’s what you will be doing in the exam (unless you use a laptop for some reason) so it’s best to practise for timings etc.

Further reading - reading articles and books around the subject areas will give you a broader idea of the concepts and a better overall understanding

Accents/voices - some people find using different accents or characters of voices helps them remember things (in the exam you can recall info because you remember you said it in an Australian accent for example)

Key word lists - making lists of words and definitions can be useful, as using key words in context in essays/questions is what gets you the higher marks

Post-it notes - writing key ideas on post-it notes and sticking them in places you go commonly (on the fridge, by the light switch, in your bedroom, on the TV etc) 

Apps - there are loads of great apps that you can download to make notes and flashcards etc. as well as apps for generally increasing your productivity - see my studying apps post here

Songs/mnemonics - making funny little songs to remember processes can be really useful, as they really stick in your head

Charts/timelines - depending on the subject, making timelines and charts can be really useful as a different visual representation

Sometimes we beat ourselves up worse than anybody else ever can, and ever will. If you’re feeling alone or unwanted right now, please know that I see you. I know your worth. And someday they will, too. // Your mistakes don’t make you a bad person. Learn to forgive yourself.

Pulling off all-nighters or cramming is no stranger to us. However, these study styles aren’t actually efficient in eating those chunks of information we need to pass our tests.

1. Distributed practice. Or basically have planned study sessions in chunks. Studies show that you best encode information in repeated short training sessions. This is because repeated short training sessions, spaced in time, engage multiple sets of synapses. It’s as if your brain is working at full power. So yes, if you want to become a successful student then you need to learn to be consistent in your studies and to have regular, yet shorter, study periods.

2. Use flashcards. Flashcards engage in “active recall”. In other words, you are attempting to remember the concept from scratch rather than simply staring at the passage in your textbook or recognizing it on a multiple choice quiz.

3. Sleep. While drinking and eating is an indispensable requisite, sleeping is just as important. Even a brief nap may boost learning, memory, and creative problem solving. Though napping isn’t a shortcut to success, it can help improve your memory and solve problems. Sleeping well at night, and long enough, is associated with good health.

4. Teach what you’ve learned. When you teach what you’ve learned, your brain organizes the information and lets you recall the materials you’ve read. If you can’t find someone to teach, then imagine yourself teaching someone. You can even use a stuffed toy if you have no one to teach.

5. Practice testing. Practice testing helps you prepare yourself from questions that may or may not appear on the test. Furthermore, it helps you remember the materials you’ve read while practicing.

6. Have a study spot. Make sure your designated study spot has everything you need: books, notebooks, highlighters, and pens. This helps you prime your brain for study sessions.
