What are some of your FAVORITE study tips

Published

What are some of your favorite study tips for Biology? I'm trying to find the best way to study for ME, and I like the insight. My major was Journalism/PR before, and I literally never had to open a book to get an A, so now I'm relearning how to study and make it stick. I'm good at application, but not great at memorizing. Any tips?

Note: I go to UNLV for Pre-nursing

Good day, aleafstedt:

1. Learn to open a book and read it ;-) Use the SQR4 study method - SQ4R Study Method

2. Make your own flashcards; I use and recommend quizlet.com Then after making them, quiz yourself with them.

3. Ask if you can record lectures and lab recitations; if able, record and then put into playlists based on exam units. Then listen as often as possible -- on the road, on a bus, taking a walk.

4. For any class with a lab, stay the entire lab time.

5. Participate in class often. It's a great way to get rid of wrong thinking quick and reinforce good thinking fast.

Thank you.

Khan Academy.com has tons of teaching videos. Which explains things in depth. Then I used quizlet and flash cards to learn the vocab that I learned from the videos, books and lectures. Reading the chapter before lecture helped a ton. I had a basic understanding and could focus on the points the Professor was making.
