  • How to study effectively, using 6 essential strategies.

  • If youre a student, youve probably wondered - what is the most effective way to study?

  • That’s a smart question, because most people unfortunately waste their time with stuff

  • that just isn’t effective.

  • So I asked the cognitive psychologists over at The Learning Scientists for some tips.

  • After all their research into the science of learning and absolute best-practice study

  • skills, here are their top six strategies to bring out your inner genius.

  • The first strategy is called spaced practice.

  • 5 hours of study crammed into one intensive session is not as good as that same 5 hours

  • spread out over two weeks.

  • Youll learn more and get better results with the same amount of time or less.

  • Itll be less stressful than the panic of cramming, and because youll learn more

  • youll also reduce the time you need to study in the future, because you won’t have

  • to re-learn the same information.

  • Make a plan and schedule short study sessions into your calendar, this is not about marathon,

  • intensive periods of study.

  • Review information from each class, starting a day later.

  • After youve covered the most recent class, go back and study important older information

  • to keep it fresh.

  • And don’t just re-read your notes - that’s ineffective.

  • Use the other strategies in this video.

  • And leave 2-3 days between study sessions on the same subject, the key is consistent

  • short study sessions over time.

  • Switch between ideas during a single study session for a particular class, this is called

  • interleaving.

  • Don’t study one idea, topic or type of problem for too long.

  • Switching will highlight and contrast the similarities or differences between topics

  • or types of questions.

  • If youre doing problem solving, switching can help you choose the correct approach to

  • solve a problem.

  • This strategy will encourage you to make links between ideas as you switch between them.

  • You want your mind to be nimble and easily able to jump between ideas and know how they

  • relate to each other.

  • Make sure you study enough information to understand an idea before you switch, youll

  • need to figure out what works best for youdon’t spend an entire session on one

  • topic, but don’t switch too often either.

  • Try to make links between ideas as you move between them.

  • And for your next study session, change the order you work through topics, because that

  • will strengthen your understanding even more.

  • Switching will probably feel harder than studying one topic for a long time, but remember, we

  • want to use what’s most effective, not what’s easiest.

  • The next strategy is for when you have your textbook and notes in front of you.

  • Ask yourself questions about how and why things work, and then find the answers in your class

  • material.

  • Explain and describe ideas with as many details as you can and connect the ideas to your daily

  • life and experiences.

  • This forces you to understand and explain what youre learning, and connect it with

  • what you already know.

  • That helps you organize the new ideas and makes them easier to recall later.

  • Creatinghowandwhyquestions makes you think about how ideas are similar

  • or different, and that improves your understanding.

  • Start with your notes and textbook and make a list of the ideas you need to learn.

  • Go down the list and ask yourself questions about how these ideas work and why.

  • Then go through your class material again and look for answers to your own questions.

  • Make connections between different ideas and explain to yourself how they work together.

  • The specific questions you ask and how you break down ideas depends on what youre

  • studying, it might be math, science, history or something else completely.

  • Check out the description below this video for some examples.

  • Use specific, concrete examples.

  • Relevant examples help demonstrate and explain ideas, which helps you to understand them

  • better.

  • Human memory hooks onto concrete information better than abstract information, so always

  • look for real life examples you can relate to.

  • For examplescarcityis an abstract idea.

  • You can explain it asthe rarer something is, the higher its value will be’.

  • But weve used abstract terms to explain an abstract idea.

  • Not so helpful.

  • So we use a specific example to illustrate the idea.

  • Think about a ticket scalper.

  • If you purchase a ticket to a sports event at the start of the season, the ticket price

  • is reasonable.

  • But as the game day gets closer and the two teams are now at the top of the ladder, more

  • people buy tickets.

  • This scarcity drives up the cost of the tickets and the ticket scalper charges more for the

  • tickets.

  • That’s a concrete example of an abstract idea.

  • You can collect examples from your teacher or professor, search your textbook or notes,

  • and look out for examples in your daily life.

  • Thinking of your own relevant examples is most helpful for your learning, but be careful

  • to confirm with your teacher that your examples are accurate and relevant to the idea youre

  • learning.

  • Make the link between the idea and the example, and youll understand how the example applies.

  • Combine verbal material with visuals.

  • Doing this gives you two ways of understanding and remembering the information later on.

  • Find visuals in your notes and textbook and examine how the words are describing what’s

  • in the image.

  • Then do it the other way aroundhow does the image represent what’s described by the

  • text?

  • Look at the visuals and explain in your own words what they mean.

  • Then take the words for your class materials and draw your own picture for them.

  • Try to create different ways to represent the information, and start to use this strategy

  • when you practice retrieving your knowledge later on.

  • And just to clarify, this is not about learning styles.

  • A great deal of research has shown that assessing your learning style and matching your study

  • approach to that style does not improve your learning.

  • Just because you might prefer pictures doesn’t mean it’s the most effective way for you

  • to learn.

  • You learn best when you combine words and visuals.

  • And finally, this is the single most valuable study skill to help you boost your performance,

  • so it’s definitely worth mastering.

  • Practice retrieving everything in your head you already know about a topic.

  • Put away all your notes and textbooks and write down or sketch out everything you know

  • right now.

  • Why?

  • Because retrieving your knowledge like this reinforces what youve learned and makes

  • it easier to remember later on.

  • But also, improvement comes with practice.

  • If you want to get better at recalling information in exams, then you should practice recalling

  • information now, just like you practice any other skill.

  • Plus it highlights what you don’t know and that’s where you should focus your study

  • time.

  • Makes sense, right?

  • So what’s the best way to do this?

  • Take as many practice tests as you possibly can, even if you have to make them up and

  • swap with a friend.

  • Or just start with a blank piece of paper and empty your brain, write out everything

  • you know, draw sketches or concept maps linking all the ideas together.

  • Make sure you do this a while after youve learned something, so put away your notes

  • this is not about reciting information youve just glanced at in your textbook.

  • Once youre finished, check what youve written against your class material.

  • What did you get right or wrong, and what didn’t you recall at all.

  • That’s perfect feedback and shows you where you need to get better.

  • Now you know the six study strategies academic research says are the most effective, here’s

  • a simple way to recall them for your next study session.

  • If you’d like some free downloadable posters about these 6 strategies to put on your wall,

  • follow the link in the description below this video.

  • Thanks for watching, bye!
