Study methods

One student’s list

Flash cards. This always works for me when I need to study for a long formula test in chemistry or a vocabulary test for English.

Write and rewrite notes. This works well, too! Just keep on rewriting and rewriting your notes. It might seem useless, but before you know it, you will instantly remember most of the stuff!

The Internet. I just go online and search for the topic that will be on the test. Most of the time, after some research, I actually understand the topic more. (Be careful about the sources.)

In a group. This way, you can learn from friends, and you’ll likely get a better understanding. It will also be great if you study with friends who want to get down to business.
