At Study Skills Zone, we’re dedicated to giving students super-effective study methods, all backed up by science. We break down big research findings into easy-to-understand bits, so students see how powerful these methods are for GCSE and A-level success.
Remembering what you learn: Think of recalling facts from your memory like a superhero power. It’s better than just reading stuff over and over. Studies show it helps you remember better and really understand.
Spreading out your study/revision: Instead of cramming all your study into one session, break it up over time. This helps you remember things longer and stops you from forgetting stuff.
Mixing things up: Instead of focusing on just one subject at a time, switch between different topics. This helps your brain learn better by getting used to different things.
Asking questions: Ever wonder why or how things work? Asking questions like this helps you understand better and remember more. It’s like having a conversation with yourself about what you’re learning.
Explaining things yourself: Try explaining what you’re learning in your own words. It helps you understand better and remember stuff for longer.
Using pictures and words: Mixing pictures and words when you study helps your brain remember things better. It’s like giving your brain more ways to understand and remember stuff. The big ‘red flag’ is to keep make all graphics super simple, don’t let drawing pictures become a form of procrastination. Used properly, this is really effective!
Testing yourself: Testing yourself on what you’ve learned, like with flashcards or practice tests, is super helpful. It helps you remember things longer and shows where you need to study more.
In a nutshell, at Study Skills Zone, we make sure students get the best study methods, all backed by science. Even though you might not remember all the big research names, you can trust that what we teach really works. So, give these techniques a try and see how they boost your learning and grades!
