One of the things that separates great students from those that are average is the methods they use for studying. Some methods are a lot faster and more effective than others.



Here are some of the different methods of studying:



* Reading a text book

* Listening to audio or watching videos

* Taking notes from your text book

* Writing questions from your text book,then answering them later

* Taking past exams or practice exams

* Mind maps



The fastest way to take in new information is by reading. You can read a lot faster than a person can talk. Also when you are reading, you can quickly skip through the sections that you already know or that don’t apply. Some students, however, do find that they learn a lot better from audio or video material.

I've always used a text book and carried out past exam papers. Seemed to work for me.



I have tried the audio and visual route but couldn't concentrate.

After dozens of exams and courses over many years I found the No 1 Doyen method to be best. For me, as courses continued and information to be assimulated increased considerably, very necessary to revise regularly what already learned. Also found it helpful to give exam matter to my Wilderbeest who would ask me questions at random and in that way could identify any areas where I might be weak and more study needed.
