SECRET SHAOLIN STUDY FORMULA
THIS IS THE SHAOLIN WU LIN MI JI of Studying.Please don't spread this around, it is for the benefits for my dear sub comms only, so that you guys can pass with flyign colours*
Firstly - THE POWER OF MEMORY
Making an Effort to Remember
Interest--The brain prioritizes by meaning, value and relevance. To have meaning, you must understand what you are learning. In order to remember something thoroughly, you must be interested in it and think that it has value and relevance in your life.
Intent to Remember-- Your attitude has much to do with whether you remember something or not. A key factor to remembering is having a positive attitude that you get it right the first time. Attention is not the same as learning, but little learning takes place without attention.
Basic Background--Your understanding of new materials depends on what you already know that you can connect it to. The more you increase your basic knowledge, the easier it is to build new knowledge on this background.
Controlling the Amount and Form
Selectivity-You must determine what is most important and select those parts to begin the process of studying and learning.
Meaningful Organization--You can learn and remember better if you can group ideas into some sort of meaningful categories or groups.
Strengthening Neural Connections
Recitation--Saying ideas aloud in your own words strengthens synaptic connections and gives you immediate feedback. The more feedback you get, the faster and more accurate your learning.
Visualization--The brain’s quickest and probably the longest-lasting response is to images. By making a mental picture, you use an entirely different part of the brain than you did by reading or listening.
Association--Memory is increased when facts to be learned are consciously associated with something familiar to you. Memory is essentially formed by making neural connections. Begin by asking, “What is this like that I already know and understand?”.
Allowing Time to Solidify Pathways
Consolidation--Your brain must have time for new information to establish and solidify a neuronal pathway. When you make a list or review your notes right after class, you are using the principle of consolidation.
Distributed Practice--A series of shorter study sessions distributed over several days is preferable to fewer but longer study sessions.
Secondly - THE DRAGON TEST TAKING SKILLS
1. PREDICT QUESTIONS FROM YOUR NOTES.
SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS
If your notes list a group of people or things, the kind of essay question to predict is a short answer question.
Short answer questions usually include one of the following words: list, name,define, or identify.
TRACE QUESTIONS
If your notes show the steps in a process of the listing and development of something, you should predict a trace question.
Some key words or phrases usually found in trace questions are: "Describe the stepsin..."; "Outline the history or..."; "Trace the events leading up to..."; "Trace and development of...."
COMPARE AND CONTRAST QUESTIONS
If your notes describe two or more things that have some features which are similar and others which are different, predict a compare and contrast question.
Words or phrases found in these questions might be: "Compare and contrast..."; "Show the similarities and differences..."; "Tell how two things are alike and different...";"Weigh the advantages and disadvantages..."
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
If your notes describe the effects of one thing on another, or the significance of a particular event, or the role of a specific individual or institution, predict a discussion question.
These questions often begin: "Discuss the significance of..."; "Discuss the role of..."; "Discuss the effect of..."; "Discuss the relationship between...."
2. PRACTICE WRITING ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS YOU PREDICT.
3. PLAN YOUR APPROACH TO ANSWERING THE ACTUAL TEST QUESTIONS.
Note points assigned to each question and allot your time accordingly.
If you have a problem with a question, go on to the next one and come back to the first one later, if possible.
Make brief, concise notes for each essay question.
With this two most powerful study kungfu in the world, you may now leave the shaolin mountain to kill or the devils.
MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU
May I Pass My Exams Too
Anyway Just Wanna Wish You Guys All The Best, Remember Don't Be Too Stress, Relax And Study.
