Studying techniques do not include all night study session the night before a big exam. If you study all night for an exam using the cram method, which never works, you have wasted your time and lost sleep too. Following are five simple steps to better studying techniques. The first thing that is recommended is find a soothing blue room to study in or go outside under the blue sky to study. You are going to be in a stressful situation, so pay attention to your body and feed it healthy food, and get plenty of rest. You are better off study on your own less chance of getting off track or being distracted and leave all of your electronic devices off. Set a specific time to study each subject but not more than 90 minutes for each with a break of 10 minutes to refresh your brain. Establish a routine time for studying whether you feel like or. Get into the habit that at specific time is study time. These studying techniques will help you reach your goal.

A studying technique that was introduced by Francis Pleasant Robinson in his book “Effective Study” is another aide to studying made simple. This is almost a full proof method to help you remember the material for a long time. The method is called SQRRR or SQ3R and these five letters stand for Survey, Question Read, Recite and Review. To begin you survey the chapter or material, read the introduction and summary, and the headings and subheadings which helps your understanding of what is to come. The question is where you ask questions about what you just read. Questions like: what are the key points or what if anything should I commit to memory. The first R is read but actively read the chapter underling or highlight important passages or formulas and then summarize in your own words in notebook. Just be an active reader. The second R is recite: answer out loud to the question you came up with earlier. Remember it better to say things out loud and then write the answers in notebook. The last R is review which you must do on a daily basis. Recite your key concepts and formulas this helps to fix the information in your mind for later recall. If you practice these studying techniques you will reach your goal.
