Methods for studying for school work

There are some study methods that some students feel that work, and then there are study methods that students feel that are ineffective. Whenever I decide to study I go to my room, or a quiet location where I can concentrate. I usually do not use music to concentrate, but when I do I choose music that does not have any words, meaning instrumental. I can go for classical music, but the melodies will also distract me, so I decide to choose “Concentration Music” which only has a faint sound that will be relaxing, but not too overwhelming. When I am learning definitions or memorizing specific terms, I decide to write on note cards the old school way, but if that is too much writing , I decide to go on Quizlet which has great resources for studying. It quizzes you my mix and matching definitions, and has information on all types of topics. It is a great learning resource. For math I decide to go to KhanAcademy.org. Khan academy has more subjects such as, computer science, Science and Engineering! It is really helpful when you need help on a certain topic, because it will only concentrate on what you need help on. I have known about these resources for some time, and they have helped me review basic math skills that I had forgotten about. I know that these websites are not for everyone, because everyone learns differently.  I bet mostly everyone has heard about these two popular resources. On the internet there are even more resources than these two that I had mentioned here. So, feel free to explore more helpful websites and let me know if you know any other studying website, or study methods I can use.

  1. Thanks for sharing the studying websites, I will definitely check them. I can relate to you as even I find some quite place to study and I don't like studying in group, I prefer to study alone in quite space.
