In PLP lesson, we had read and answered the questions about my study skills. Throughout answering, I found out that, my weakness in studying are;
1. I find it hard to get down to study
2. I find it difficut to concentrate on my work
3. I spend hours cramming for the night before test or due date of assignments
I must improve these factors in order to make my study skills effective.
Studying techniques
I learnt that I take various studying techniques in different subjects. In science I just answer, records detail on revidion sheet. I normally prepare 2 weeks before the test however, in subjects like art or maths I only spend about 1hour to 30 mins preparing. I practice many different questions for maths and I have to generate alot of ideas for Art. I spent the most time in Science because the knowledge learnt must be memorised in head to apply and use them effectively.
Evironment
I found out that, the best environmnetal staus in studying are;
1. Isolation from distraction (conversatin with people, foods, phone, facebook and music)
2. Plan for the test, revision
3. At home on the desk
4. Not to late time (between 8 to 11) - hard to concentrate because of tiredness
5. Proper temperature (not too hot or cold)
6. Calm myself down before the test begins by sipping a cup of tea
By knowing my strengths and weaknesses while studying, I now can study effectively. :)
