(by the rest of us, I am referring to those without amazingly high retention abilities such as photographic memory!) 😀
Hey everyone. I'm curious to know what helps you comprehend and retain all the knowledge that you have and will continue to acquire. Now, I have no delusions of instant, miraculous results -- there are no short cuts when it comes to learning, I know 😉 But, I am always open to making my study times more efficient and productive and would love to hear what has worked for you.
I've listed a bunch of questions that I have, but please feel free just to say whatever advice or experience you can. Even if it's a book that you can recommend, I'm all ears.
THREE QUESTIONS ABOUT STUDY PRODUCTIVITY:
1) How do you approach and study new subjects or information?
2) How do you review / remember what you have learned?
3) What has helped you to build stamina for those long study hours?
I'm a post-bacc'er who currently works full time while studying to retake my prerequisites. Right now I put in about 2 hours at night during the week and most of the day on saturday. It's going well, but I would like to be able to process information quicker, and retain it better. It takes me several hours just to get through a chapter in my Orgo/Bio book before I understand and retain it (or most of it).
Looking ahead, I see even more knowledge to digest and absorb. And even though I'm psyched to pursue it, I also want to train my mind and its focus so that I make the best use of time.
Thanks in advance for your posts! 😳
