What are your best study methods?

I love to make flash cards, but I find it can be a little time consuming with all of the vocabulary and formulas I get in my chapters. I also find that by the time I make them, read my chapters, get done with homework from all of my classes, and all of my "real life" duties, it's time to read more chapters and start a new week at school. I am just starting out at school again after five years, so I know there are all kinds of sites that I'm not familiar with. I'm open to websites and any other methods anyone would recommend.

Thank you comment icon Hi Kimberli! Good question. The answer to the most efficient way to study lies in the way YOU learn. Are you a visual learner? Try watching videos about the concepts (KhanAcademy is a great resource for this) and looking at graphs or diagrams of what you're learning. Are you a hands-on type of learner? Try challenging yourself to create something out of what you have learned whether it be a poster or model or experiment. If you find out how you learn, you can find out how you should study. There are many quizzes online that help determine your learning style. I hope this helps and I wish you the best with studying! Mireia

Hi Kimberli.
It's great to know you are returning back to school. wishing you all the best :)
I believe that learning now is easier thanks to the technology we have and there are so many learning platforms that you could use according to the subject you are studying.
There are also online courses on sites such as Coursera, Udemy, edx, future learn that are categorized and they offer knowledge from basic to advanced levels.
Since you like making flashcards but they take lots of time, I advice you to use mobile apps such as Chegg flashcards which will help you make your own deck in no time.
best of luck on your studies and keep it up :) :) :)

You will need to focus on stress and time management. In order to manage stress you have to manage your time wisely. <span style="background-color: transparent;">You have to set a routine for yourself and stick to it for the most part. Once you get into the groove of a routine it will be much easier for you to manage your time and have enough time for everything you need to do (including relaxing). Make yourself to-do lists on a weekly basis, use Google calendar or a planner to keep track of events, deadlines, and due dates. In addition to setting a routine and sticking to it, plan out relaxing activities into your day. Or set aside a time, after everything is done for the day, that you can have "me" time. I have also personally found it essential to not only find time for myself but also make use of that time in a way that is best for me and my holistic wellness. I have found the HeadSpace app to be an essential tool in helping me relax and generally feel more relaxed throughout the day, Guided meditation, even if you have a busy schedule, will make you feel more at ease and relaxed throughout the day as a whole (not just when you have the time to relax and focus on that "me" time).</span>

<span style="background-color: transparent;">Set a routine.Use Google Calendar.Set aside Me TimeWrite weekly to-do lists and use a planner.Find a peaceful and restful activity that will help you feel relaxed.</span>

<span style="background-color: transparent;">Here is how to be successful in them:</span>


  1. <span style="background-color: transparent;">Stay on track - do assignments early, finish things a head of time, and be aware of all of your deadlines</span>
  2. <span style="background-color: transparent;">do all the the assignments and read all of the coursework required- do not cut corners</span>
  3. <span style="background-color: transparent;">use Google calendar to keep track of deadlines</span>
  4. <span style="background-color: transparent;">communicate with your professor early if something comes up</span>
  5. <span style="background-color: transparent;">do not be afraid to ask for an extension if you need one</span>
  6. <span style="background-color: transparent;">study, and study a lot! you don't have regular class sessions so you will need to put in more work at home.</span>
  7. <span style="background-color: transparent;">Do your best and genuinely try hard to give it your all.</span>

The best way to score high on the test is to Google search an online program or book that will help you study. Once you find an online lesson plan for success you can use it as a road map for studying. Otherwise, find a book to help you study and spend 45 mins a night reading through it and studying. Depending on when you test is, the first thing you will want to do is organize a studying schedule for yourself. Target studying certain sections of the test and divide them up by the weeks/months you have until you have to take it.
