general What are/were your Study Habits?

[EpicEnergy 23,220]

I study by reviewing my notes and memorizing the important parts. I also highlight the important parts to help me focus better on them.

[applesjck 5,601]

I have no study habits, I can never sit still long enough to study.

[Stone Cold Steve Jobs 22,441]

Keep good notes, do your homework, study a little each day, and study extra hard on the day before and leading up to the exam. I maintained a near 4.0 GPA like that.

[RaraLover 10,414]

I do note-taking, re-reading my textbooks and notes, and practice questions to study for an upcoming test.

[Bastian 13,319]

Write what I have to learn. As simple as that.

[Splashee 28,564]

Dedicating a specific time for my studies. Then trying to get thought them, no matter how painful they are

[DubWolf 17,266]

Way too self-paced sometimes. Have to set up some reasonable objectives and checkpoints when studying stuff else I'll just feel like temporarily giving up indefinitely.

[ExplosionMare 18,065]

I’d read over everything in a quite setting and, if possible, I’d associate a few words with things that I like.

[Vefka 1,499]

I do everything as early as possible. In school I do my homework as soon as I get home, sometimes before even eating. That's because I'm very lazy and otherwise thoughts like "I have to do it, I can't escape it. When I finish *what I'm doing right now*, I will have to do it anyway" would hunt me until I finally do the homework

[Mini 451]

1. complete stuff way before its due / do practice papers

2. get feedback off teachers

3. apply feedback

5. get good marks

If i study i fail. If I don't i pass.... It works

[DixonTheAdversary 1,632]

I just did all of the assignments that were given and that was my studying, I barely ever studied for anything outside of school.

[Clawdeen 14,827]

I studied at the last minute and still managed to pass

[Splashee 28,564]

Crying. A lot of crying!

 

Seriously though, I can't think with music in the background

[Evil Pink One 13,507]

Forgetting..... Forgetting what I study ... 

[Cash In 22,400]

Don't do anything and cram last minute. Hey, I never said my habits were good.

[Skylight Scintillate 2,052]

I either finished what I needed to do right away really quickly, or procrastinate quite a bit, so my study habits were all over the place. Surprisingly, I averaged A- while taking the most challenging courses at a prestigious high school, so make of that what you will.

[Stone Cold Steve Jobs 22,441]

I used to study a day or two in advance of a test. Using the review sheet or if that isn’t available then my notes. 

[TBD 17,255]

Motivation. I need to have some type of motivation or at least a tutor to help me study.  I would go over word terms and study guides over and over. I tried not to memorize but rather understand the materials. That being said, that’s why I need a huge motivation or interest on the topic in order for me to study well. I also depends on tutors to help me in case I lose motivation to study.

[Sir Hugsalot 9,349]

I was a difficult student at school. My biggest problem was - to truly learn something I had to be interested in something. That's why for example on history classes when we talked about ancient Egypt i was a walking encyclopedia, but romanticism was exhausting to me (especially literature from that period was difficult to handle for me as some ideals from those times are downright toxic). 

I have a strong need to understand what I am learning. That's my utmost motivation and without it I am unable to get anywhere with my studies or goals. I never liked the approach of memorizing something as then it feels like a waste of time and space. Unfortunately that led to me receiving rather average grades, because not even a possibility to receive a D/C for my lack of effort was enough to intimidate me into learning the way polish schools back then wanted me to learn - by mindlessly remembering stuff. 

I don't work well under pressure, in fact - apply pressure on me, tell me to hurry and likely I will fail xD School paid little attention to that and, much to my disappointment never understood why my homework was always flawless yet my schoolwork that demanded brainless RUSH was average at best. It was believed that I copied it/parents did my homework, a problem especially in high school as most teachers there were... pretty bad if I were honest.

 

I know that what I wrote sounds like typical excuse of average student always blaming teachers for his shortcomings, but unfortunately I really had bad luck with plenty of teachers Fortunately there were those who took their time to understand me and with them I always got A as my final grade

[Brony Number 42 10,069]

I would read the books and get the homework done as soon as possible. But I lost interest in anything academic when I was in grad schook. Now I don't care about much.
