Time Management

Allocate study time for each subject based on your difficulties and personal strengths. 

Use a planner or study app to schedule focused study sessions. Put your phone away/hide it from your sight

Effective Study Techniques

Active recall, spaced repetition, and summarizing key points are effective techniques.

 Find a quiet study space, take breaks, and use mnemonic devices. (things to help your memory e.g songs, rhymes, etc)

Active Recall

Retrieve information from memory without looking at the materials. Use flashcards or self-quizzing to reinforce learning.

Spaced Repetition

Review material at increasing intervals to strengthen long-term retention. Use flashcards or study apps with spaced repetition algorithms.

Making Summaries

Create concise summaries for each subject to condense important information. Use visual aids, diagrams, and mnemonics to help memorization.

Review and Q&A

Key points

Any questions?

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
