Hi!! I have a BIG history test coming up on the history of Africa and I was wondering if you could give me some study tips. I'm a visual learner if that helps!
Y E S OF COURSE I HAVE SOME STUDY TIPS FOR YOU
First off, letās start with some links!
You said you were a visual learner. Well, all I could think of that Iāve learned in my time as a studyblr is that visual learners love to have all their information splayed out in front of them in organized fashions.
1) This one you have to download but it looks really easy to use and has a lot of color and design options!
2) This one looks really simple and clean!
3) This is for if youāre on an iPad or prefer to work on an iPad.
4) This is really organized-looking and seems to allow you to integrate and import images and files and other things from Google Drive and lots of other programs!
Skim the chapters you were assigned in the textbook to read, and read the introduction and closing paragraphs, section guides/goals, headings, and words, and write down important-looking dates and terms, and also the captions under graphs or pictures
Type the main point of the chapterās title and add questions (5Ā Wās if you canāt think of any)
Read the chapters again, and diagram the subject headings and add key points as sub-points to the map
Make sure to add vocabulary and key terms and dates
And since youāre working on history, here are some timeline softwares in case youāre like me and are totally helpless in history unless you understand exactly the order in which events occur.
1) This can let you use a whole ton of different symbols and create a legend and add your own pictures and stuff!
2) Here is another clean and neat program for you if thatās what youāre into.
3) This is just a different layout but looks pretty simple and easy.
4) This one looks like you can jam a lot of information into it!
Make sure whatever notes you take are in chronological order
Establish a connection between the facts (the mind maps and timelines should help)
Flashcards are always great for cramming because youāre (hopefully) writing down all the information you need to know and reading over it to force your brain to recall the information: here is my guide on history flashcards
John Greenās Crash Course videos are always great for last-minute studying!
Look up multiple choice exams online to test yourself
Go into your notes and highlight your terms
Try that thing out where you present the information like youāre teaching someone the things youāre studying
Make sure to create strong pictures in your mind while you readĀ
Replace words with symbols or initials, it can speed up the process of study notes and helps visual learners to associate symbols with concepts rather than words
