Study Skills

For the past week, I have been trying out the new method of studying for both tests and as a means of delegating homework throughout the week. I have found that this method needs some tweaking for different learning styles. For instance, if I get bored of working, I often get a rhythm going after reading one more page. The studying method requires you to stop after one more page, no matter what. I believe that it is beneficial for me to continue working if I get a rhythm going. I am more productive if I am interested in doing the work, which also helps me absorb more information. The aspect of the method that requires you to increase the amount of work you do each day seem to helpful, however, I altered the system so can get more work done. Instead of only working a bit each day, I decided to take a break for one hour before recommencing my studies.
This method has proven useful thus far, but real results will depend on my test and assignment marks. It has proven to be most valuable in studying for Word Within the Word and essay writing. Using this method with my modifications, it has allowed me to maintain my focus and productivity for extended periods of time.


Studying is almost like driving. There are hundreds of different cars, just as there are hundreds of different ways to study. Both are meant to get the driver from point A to point B with minimal damage. It frequently appears that the more money you put into a car, the more benefits you can receive. With studying, it often seems that the more time you put in, the more prepared you will be. However, you must occasionally stop to refuel and give your engine a break before you can continue to your destination. If you don’t stop, your car will. This causes a less productive outcome since you must push your car. Small breaks enable you to avoid a breakdown.
