Take this How Should You Study quiz to find out. We update the quiz regularly and it’s the most accurate among the other quizzes.
When to study: While many students claim to be more effective at night, most people are more focused and productive earlier in the day (i.e. morning, afternoon, and early evening). Reading a textbook or a journal article, writing a paper, or working on an assignment all need a high level of concentration, and the ability to focus decreases as the day progresses.
When deciding how much time to devote to studying, be practical (e.g., it is likely unrealistic to schedule study time after 5 hours of lectures or after an 8-hour shift at work).
Suggestions for the study environment:
When most students study at home, they are easily distracted and postpone. It is generally more effective to study outside of the home.
Some students like to focus with some background noise, in which case a coffee shop or a group study space of the library (e.g., the 2nd floor of the Bennett library) may be ideal. Other students prefer complete quietness when studying, in which case, a quiet or silent study area (e.g., the Bennett Library’s 6th level) may be ideal.
When feasible, avoid distractions such as a cell phone and/or laptop by not bringing them, turning them off, or at the very least putting them away during study time.
How Should You Study quiz
Avoid listening to music when studying (especially while reading), as it will divert your concentration and make your studying less productive. Also, you must try to play this How Should You Study quiz.
Spread your work out evenly over the semester.
There is a lot of knowledge that must be learned in a short period for each course you take. Because it is often impossible to study a full textbook of knowledge in a week or two, the most efficient way to acquire the subject is to take it in gradually over several weeks—this promotes better comprehension and retention of course content.
Pacing your studies should include the following suggestions:
Starting in week one, the recommended amount of time to spend on your studies is 2-3 hours per credit per week (4 hours per credit per week for Math classes). For a three-unit course, this equates to 6-9 hours of study per week. This includes time spent on anything you do in the course (e.g., reading, reviewing, preparing for an exam, working on an assignment, writing a paper, etc.), but excludes time spent in lectures, tutorials, or laboratories.
You will be able to focus better and recall a bigger proportion of what you learned if you study in short time blocks of 1-2 hours at a time (take around a five-minute break every half hour or ten minutes every hour), and you will be less prone to procrastinate.
About the quiz
Review and test yourself on a regular basis.
Reviewing information on a frequent basis is also important for remembering it and acquiring a thorough comprehension of it. Reading over or compressing your notes is an example of review. Doing practice questions and testing yourself is one of the finest ways to review. Self-testing is an excellent approach to spend review time because it allows you to identify knowledge gaps. This is an excellent idea for any class, not just problem-solving ones.
Tips for reviewing and practicing tests: Review lecture and reading notes within 24 hours of acquiring the content, and then once a week thereafter.
Spend at least an hour each class per week reviewing (this is an important element of the 2-3 hours/credit/week that students are advised to spend on coursework outside of class).
When testing yourself, push yourself to come up with an answer without checking your notes or readings (even if you have to guess), then check your response—this will foster better retention of the proper answers/solutions and help you discover what topics you need to spend more time on.
When completing weekly review, go back to previous practice questions that you mastered earlier in the semester and put them to the test by mixing them with questions from other chapters.
If practice questions are not easily available, create your own or get classmates to create them for you.
