Tips and Hints

 Know your learning style!

Do you learn by...

hearing?

seeing?

doing?

a combination?

Once you know how you learn you can help yourself to study efficiently.

For example:

If you learn by hearing information then listen to audio tapes, CD's or record on your own whatever it is you need to learn.  Listen to it often but for short periods of time (1 to 5 minutes) and concentrate.

If you are a visual learner, draw pictures of what it is you need to know.  Read carefully and concentrate.  Again focus for a short amount of time but frequently.

If you learn by doing (hands on) then do it over and over again.  For example in science, art and physical education.

Remember learning takes repetition.   Did you learn to ride a bike the very first time you tried it?

Everyone needs to study so learn how to study to fit your own learning style

Good Luck!
