LEARNING AND MEMORISING
Some skills to help you study more effectively
- Never try to memorise what you don't understand
- Select important points to remember - you cannot rote learn everything
- Organise your material into a meaningful system
- Active repetition, such as reading out aloud or re-writing the material helps your memory
- Simply reading and re-reading does not help your memory
- Revise logically from the start of the topic to the end of the topic
- Break longer pieces of material into shorter, more manageable chunks
of material and memorise them in bits
- When information such as poetry and mathematical tables have to be learnt by heart, try to use rhythmic patterns to rote learn
