100 days of productivity 17/100
how are we halfway through January already??
I started making some notes, studied chemisty for an hour and tried blurting. I only covered 2 topics so far but it seems like an upgraded version of the way I studied last year for my gcses, which worked out really well seeing as I got a couple A*'s. I'm going to continue this tomorrow.
I was going to push myself to complete 2 hours of study but I've got work experience tomorrow (dentistry even tho u need bio for it and I don't take bio TvT) and I'd like to be well rested for it.
Plus for my study technique, in case anybody is interested and would like to try it, I combine active recall, blurting and teaching the topic.
- I will read my notes out loud (about a sentence/small paragraph at a time), look away and repeat a couple times until I no longer have to look at my notes
- I will read the next bit, recall it aloud, and often I'll then go over both the 1st bit of notes and the 2nd, 3rd etc. again, trying not to look at the notes
- While recalling the information I will tell/teach it to my study buddy (can be a person, animal or inanimate object)
- After each major topic I'll write down everything I remember (saying it aloud first then writing it down), go back to my notes and add anything I missed in red so I can focus on it more next time
- Before starting a new topic I'll quickly recall aloud the information from the previous topic & etc.
