How did you do? If you are unsure about anything, look up the answer and write it down right away. Test yourself by trying to answer your questions without referring to your notes.
If you use the two-column note-taking method, cover up the right side of your notes with a piece of paper, leaving the questions in the left column exposed. If you can’t use the knowledge right away, visualize yourself using the knowledge to solve a problem or visualize yourself teaching the material to other students. What does this material mean to you? How will you use this new knowledge? Try to find a way to apply it in your own life or thoughts. If you don’t take these steps now, you are setting yourself up for problems later in the course. It is better to clear up any misconceptions and get your questions answered soon after you are exposed to the material, rather than to wait, for two reasons: (1) the question or doubt is fresh in your mind and you won’t forget about it and (2) instructors usually build their lessons on material already presented. What do the notes tell you about your material? What aspects of the material are you unsure about? Do you need to reread a part of your text? Write down any questions you have for your instructor and pay a visit during office hours. How do they complement each other? Stop and think. Take time to merge your class notes with your reading notes. Each study session should involve three steps: Studying begins after each class or assignment when you review your notes. To be effective, studying is something you do as part of an ongoing learning process, throughout the duration of the term. The first and most important thing you should know is that studying is not something you do a few days before an exam. This review is largely what studying is all about.Įffective studying is an ongoing process of reviewing course material. Recall that in Chapter 4 “Listening, Taking Notes, and Remembering” and Chapter 5 “Reading to Learn” we emphasized the importance of reviewing your notes soon after the class or assignment. The reviewing and applying stage of the learning cycle involves studying and using the material you have been exposed to in your course. Now we’ll follow up on some of those key ideas and take the learning cycle to its conclusion and a new beginning.

You learned how to read actively and how to capture information from written sources. You learned some tricks for improving your memory. You learned how to listen and how to take notes. In Chapter 4 “Listening, Taking Notes, and Remembering” and Chapter 5 “Reading to Learn”, we set the foundation for effective learning. Effective studying is your most important tool to combat test anxiety, but more important, effective studying helps you truly master the material and be able to apply it as you need to, in school and beyond. You have truly learned material when you can readily recall it and actually use it-on tests or in real-life situations.
