How to Study More Effectively



How to Study More Effectively

Cramming for an exam or quiz will do more harm than allow you to retain important information you need in your head. Here are some ideas that will at least, make it easier for you to study more effectively.

1. Plan what to study. Check all subjects or topics that you need to study and rank them according to which ones you have most difficulty with. The more difficult topics, the more time you should allot to them. The more complex the subject, longer period of time must be given.

2. Set a scheduled time of the weekday or weekends when you should start. Say, not right after a meal of course, because by that time you would feel sluggish as you feel your stomach jam-packed. Perhaps half an hour to an hour after any meal would be fine. And once you have made up your mind, always stick to your schedule.

3. Have a good, comfortable place set for your study time. Your own room would be nice, however, distractions are a complete no-no - MP3, turned-on TV, your laptop, or perhaps your mobile phone and other gadgets at hand. Although some people need soft music to retain information in their heads, basically 'clear' your place of clutter that will add up to the possible interruption in your study time, and have all notes, books, calculator and other materials all set.

Affordable Piano Lessons





Consider the costs of traditional piano lessons. First, there is the cost of the lessons themselves. Piano teachers charge around $1 a minute, sometimes up to $100 or more an hour, for each lesson you or your child takes. $100 a week is a lot for families to afford.

And if you have more than one child learning piano, then you need to multiply the cost of piano lessons for each student. Then, there is the cost of books. And make sure you don’t miss a lesson, or you might be charged anyway. Add to this the cost of travelling to the piano lessons. (Some students in remote areas cannot access a piano teacher at all.)

These are just the obvious costs. Consider also the opportunity costs. What else could you be doing with your time while travelling to and from a traditional piano lesson?

In light of all this, it’s little wonder many parents these days say that piano lessons are an unaffordable luxury that the family, regrettably, must do without.

How to Study Tips



Trying to memorize everything you need for your exams and tests can take a long time. However, spaced repetition can help you speed the learning process up significantly - and it can complement almost any other study technique. This video dives into the history behind this technique, explores how it affects our memory (through what's called the Spacing Effect), and shows you exactly how you can use it both with paper flash cards and with apps.
