Complex mathematical formulas are particularly hard to remember. Instead of memorizing them, you can break them into smaller components, and try to imagine them as part of a graph. 2. Metaphors/analogies Metaphors are used to relate two things that are not, in fact, related. When you learn something new, try to think of similar concepts. The idea is that, by creating metaphors, you will understand new concepts by seeing them through understandable vantage points. You can learn an abstract process by comparing it to a more common event. For instance, you can compare derivatives to the speedometer on your car. Use metaphors that you can easily understand and relate to. 3. Pegging This tactic is used to memorize complex numbers; it’s mostly used by mental magicians. The basic idea of pegging is to attach digits to specific consonants. For example: 1=s 3=k, and 9=r. These consonants will form a jumble of letters. Insert a vowel between them to form nouns. This tactic will help you to remember big numbers. 4. Use diagrams Recent research shows that drawing improves your concentration. If you are in class, and bored out of your mind, you should draw diagrams. Draw something that is related to the subject you are learning. Doing so will keep boredom at bay, and increase your concentration. 5. Teach someone else What did you learn in class? If you can explain it to somebody else, your brain will create connections that will improve your understanding. Teaching will also force you to break down complex concepts; a step that will further increase your comprehension of the subject. 6. Avoid taking rigid notes When taking notes, make them interesting. Better yet, you should write your ideas in connections and branches. Adding your personal thoughts and diagrams will make the notes easier to understand. 7. Dig a foundation Have you ever noticed that early subjects seem easier once you advance in them? For instance, algebra looks like child’s play once you start learning calculus. Advancing in a subject means that you will struggle to understand the newer material. However, the old material will seem easier by comparison. 8. Visceralization This tactic differs greatly from visualization. When you learn by visceralization, you create an experience by combining feeling, texture, image, and sound. Basically, you need to take an abstract thing and make it tangible. How do you do this? Start by forming relationships between different ideas and putting them on paper. Imagine what a certain concept would feel, smell, and sound like. Use your imagination to come up with different sights, textures, smells, and sounds for different concepts. Do these tactics work? Scott H. Young swears by them. He claims to have aced his university finals by studying less. Some of his customers have also improved their learning techniques significantly. For instance, one student experienced a 75% study time reduction, and improved his grades. Another one used a single technique and managed to stop failing mathematics and chemistry. In fact, the student started scoring in the eightieth percentile. Since many people have benefited from ‘Learn More, Study Less‘, you should give it a try. You could be using all your time to study, yet you have little to show for it. Cramming is an inefficient learning technique that takes up a lot of time.[/b] Stolen: http://accredited-onlinecolleges.info/learn-study-less-efficient-way-improve-grades/ 3 Likes 1 Share |

delightful1:Vert true. I love explaining too cos it helps in retaining information for a very long time. Atimes when there's no one to explain to, I create imaginary people and start explaining to them. |

Ksslib:Lol, your own no be here o I used to have a friend who says explaining things to others make her forget. And I'm like 'pleeasssse, tell me another lie.' |
Re: This Is How To Learn More & Study Less!! by Ksslib(m): 8:02pm On Feb 27, 2015 |
delightful1:Lol. That one na small compared to other not so conventional things I do. Yea.. She might be telling the truth. The Brain works differently on different people. What works for A might not work for B. Just like my cousin who only assimilates better when reading with music. I tried it and ended up writing Lyrics on my answer sheet. |
Re: This Is How To Learn More & Study Less!! by Nobody: 8:11pm On Feb 27, 2015 |
Ksslib:You are indeed weird. She was just lying jare, she didn't wanna explain to me ni and because of that I chose not to write the exam at all. Carried it over and did better than her (tho na still carry over). I will never forget that, it pained me. Lol, I can't read well without music too. With the volume almost at max. Hope you canceled the lyrics sha? Lmao. 1 Like |

delightful1:Seems like she wanted to pass alone . And here I was, thinking such childish mentality was meant for only secondary school kids. But you sef get your own for body oh. Was that enough to decide on not writing your exam? Don't you get distracted by the music? More like --doesn't it divide your attention? Lol.. Of course I cancelled it sharperly. Luckily for me, I only wrote a few words before I gained back my senses.. |
Re: This Is How To Learn More & Study Less!! by Nobody: 10:18pm On Feb 27, 2015 |
Ksslib:You kidding? Some still do that sh*it o, I have/know a whole lot of people like that..They are everywhere I go Well, let's just say I acted stupidly then. I was just to pissed at how selfish people could be. I had no clue of the course at all and I really tried to read it but it was as of y brain was under construction then, Lol. I don't get distracted (at least most of the time). In fact, I can hardly assimilate when there's total silence. Thank God you got back to your senses before submitting, na one chance you for enter 1 Like |

delightful1: Don't mind me, I almost forgot that being selfish albeit in a childish way is no respecter of Age. Yea. Some academic work can be very frustrating. The more you read them, the less you understand. Lol Hmmmn.. That's strange sha. Never thought a silent environment could ever be a deal breaker for anyone when it comes to reading. Seems you're more weird than I am. |
