I like studying from a study group. That is a good way to help me know what important information I missed, and got the clear answer through discuss with others in the group. My efficient study strategies are using notes, and reviewing important class materials. That can help me to understand and memorize.…
Hello, Pennfoster. Seems that you need me to tell you a little about myself and my studying. Well first off, I’m pretty smart and I know that may seem big headed of me but, at least I think I am.…
Actually, I am still in the most challenging academic course I have taken to date, AP United States History (APUSH). APUSH has been difficult for me due to the fact that I had very little knowledge of US history preceding my enrollment in the class. Furthermore, prior to this class I had never really had to study extensively to maintain high marks. APUSH has been different. Having little knowledge of this material, I have had to spend much more time studying.…
Cognitive lenses that shapes my thinking are my study habits. I created my own techniques to study because not just one way is always affective. When I experimented with different study methods I rewrote my notes, broke down sections to study per day, listened to music, and I made songs this with my notes. Each method enhanced my thinking because it is easier to remember lyrics than book information.…
High school came to an end May 15 for me, and I believed college wouldn't be much different, but I wasn't entirely correct. Many things changed which I had to accustom myself to, from living on my own, to making sure I ate correctly, but little did I know that I would have to change my study habits. For as long as I can recall, I have been using the same study habits throughout high school. I believed and was taught to memorize, but I also realized that even though I would pass my test with flying colors, I would find myself forgetting a majority of what I had memorized a month and or a week ago. Now that I am aware that the technique used in high school, will no longer apply in my college years, and years to come.…
I went to the same private school from first grade till tenth grade. For my last two years of high school I chose to go to Lenape Tech, the technical school in my school district. This school gave me many options of study such as cosmetology, carpentry, welding, biomedical, and various other options. I chose the allied health/sports medicine shop. This not only gave me training in physical therapy but through it I became certified as a CNA.…

The class I’m going to prepare for is AP Human Geography. To prepare I’m going to use Quizlet; this will help me get my vocabulary down so I can ace the vocab quizzes. I feel that if I can do better on those quizzes, then my overall grades should go up by at least 10 points. The next thing I need to learn how to do is how to take notes that will help me on chapter tests. If I can nail both of those issues then I should be at a high A.…

High school students are not being prepared with the appropriate skills and knowledge necessary to excel after graduation. In fact, only 1 in 4 high school students graduate college-ready.

Using Carey’s techniques can drastically improve students overall success in high school and after graduation.…
Some students believe that when they take Into to Psych, it’ll be a breeze. Many students don’t know the extent to the course or just how much they are getting ready to learn. Without good study habits, it would be difficult to take this course since it requires a lot of studying and cramming information into the brain. After reading the article “Why Intro Psych is a tough course”, I began to analyze my current study habits and from the article gained new insights on ways to succeed in this course. My current study habits at the moment aren’t the greatest.…
Back then I rarely studied anything in my class because I had a pretty robust memory and could just remember what I wrote in my notes or what was said in class and for anything that was challenging to me, that’s the only time where I might have used the interleaved practice strategy where I space out something very challenging that loomed over my head coming up before the exam. I learned about all of the helpful strategies such as practice testing in history class when my teacher gave us a quiz every other day, which while being annoying, was surprisingly helpful to…
Testing for a lot of people is considered to be what I think of as a hard thing to have to do. Why I think and feel this way is because the most test that someone has to take is taken with having a reason behind it and to follow. Testing is completed to determine what you know or has learned about something. There are many reasons why we have to take a test. Some of the reasons for taking a test is in school to learn where each child’s knowledge of education stands, driving test to receive your driver’s licenses, college entry exam to get into a certain college, military testing to be accepted into the military, medical research testing, etc.…
So far, I can say that the strategies I learned in chapter have helped become a better note-taker. Now before I take notes I consider my goals and what I want to get out of my notes. I actively listen to what the professor has to say so that I can understand “is being said, making sense of it, and thinking about it in a way that permits it to be recalled accurately” (Feldman 58-59). For a student currently enrolled in college composition, this technique has helped me gather information more effectively for my essays. My essays are now more precise and provide more…
