BadBadNotGood 11,616 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Or do you sometimes just read and re-read and hope it stays in your brain? I'm asking because I'm studying up and I really don't want to write stuff down. I'm also asking because I needed an excuse to procrastinate. here's a gif I found while procrastinating edit: Just tonight I wrote about 30 or so pages and I'm wondering if I'll even read this over. Mnemonic devices such as word association always helped me the most. I just want my right hand back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riri 4,384 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I always write stuff down when i'm home to study and when i'm at school i try to take notes so i'll study on them when i'm home basically what everyone does usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adda 9,200 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 yes, I always write down. I don't read and re-read, I write down some ideas, I practically learn while writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puellarum generatio 3,628 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 i never write stuff down. it's useless tbh. better try to understand what the teacher's saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiaraewiwiarae 6,637 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 For me it's enough to read/listen to something once and I'll remember it. I do have to write down numbers and names to memorize them later though. Writing stuff down actually makes me forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvisqueenxx 1,145 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Usually as soon as something goes into my mind it pops out the next second so I could basically forget what the teacher said literally 5-10 seconds ago, so it's a must that I write things down so I can study it later however it's just up to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lolnoo 4,483 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 i just re-read it until i can remember it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzya 727 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I rarely write down stuff, I rather listen and pay attention to that. I memorize well enough if I understand what is being talked about. Also I get pretty lazy to re-read my notes and I may sometimes not understand what they are about.

lipslocked 3,780 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Write down those points, create (k-pop) related names if I can't remember any. (it helps, aha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heart and Seoul 1,218 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I write down as much as possible in the lectures and stuff, and then when it comes to studying for exams etc. I highlight all the things I want to remember (I have a photographic memory so using different colours etc. really helps), read over them and then write out everything I can remember, and keep repeating this process. Coming up with acronyms to help remember everything is also a key part of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orenshii 105 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 yes. i'll make short notes whenever i study, no matter how many times i revise the same subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your Bae 3,001 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I do that when I study and during class aswell. It's the only way that stuff actually gets into my brain because I'm a visual learner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonal♥ 363 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I need to write what i'm reading because i'm poor at cramming things up. If I try to just read & re-read or cram, then all the things go above my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Is Here 979 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I will never catch up to what my lecturers are actually preaching about (mostly because the class is either 8am or 4pm) so I just copy of all the notes they dish out and re-read them at my dorm while doing some questions so I can understand how to apply it.

clove 618 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 during the semester, I don't really write down anything, but when it comes to studying for exams I make a handwritten summary for each exam I'm studying for, since studying from a summary works the best for me and I don't have a printer.

Nowhere Boy 2,431 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I don't even study. I should start. I write notes down in class but never look at them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93_L 75 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Depends on what subject is that but I usually don't write it down if I'm studying at the last minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coinbeans 2,324 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I usually do it in my Science subjects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyan 365 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I do. Writing stuff down definitely makes it easier to remember. I used to take notes in class and write down chapters' summaries while studying for exams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
