Best study methods (imo) 🎧📝 by Carlamel

Flashcards

For all terms, but not concepts. I like doing them in rounds, always repeating those I didn‘t know one more time than the others.

Note-taking

I take rough notes from the textbook before class, then fill in the details during the lessons (sounds like more work, is actually less). Later I highlight everything I don’t know and make my flashcards based off of that :)

Past Questions

Pomodoro

Even if you feel like you could study for longer, taking short breaks at regular intervals will increase your stamina

Make your podcast

Record yourself explaining a concept as if you were the teacher and then listen to it later. Really fun too :)

Fake deadlines

Making earlier, fake deadlines makes sure your procrastinating doesn’t get too dangerous (trust me, I’ve been there too)

Environment variations

Studying in a different environment every now and then really helps concentration

Getting the vibe

I have different coloured pens and different playlists for each subject which helps me get into the vibe of a subject faster, helping me to concentrate faster.

Light a candle

Idk why but it works. Just do it lol

Feynman

1-learn the topic 2-teach it to someone else (or pretend to) 3-go over what you didn’t understand

Chunking

1-take one topic and break it up 2- study the little chunks with other methods
