Sleep, take breaks, take good notes, learn the material not memorize, and keep conditions the same during studying and testing.
GOAT ME:
- G is generate and test. Quiz yourself and teach others.
- O is organize. You can organize with outlines, pictures, color coding, related material, etc.
- A is for avoid illusions of learning. Avoid study methods that rely on recognition. If you can’t remember it at any given time you don’t know it. Learn not memorize or familiarize.
- T is for Take Breaks. Make sure you take breaks and sleep. You can’t remember large chunks on information in one sitting. Stand up and come back to it.
- M is match learning and testing conditions. Learn in similar conditions as when you will take the test. my tip is to chew gum when studying a certain subject and chew the same flavor of gum during the test. It will help you remember
- E is elaborate. Think deeply about the material and make other associations with it.
