Learning Tips and Study Habits

There are so many things that could prevent you from learning. Mostly, they are things that cause you to lost your focus. To name some: # Personal issues. If you got in a fight with your best friend, you might have trouble focusing since you keep thinking about it. # Too hot/too cold in the room. As trivial as that sounds, it can prevent you from being able to focus as well. To deal with this, dress in layers. You can always take off your jacket if you get too warm but keep it on if you are too cold in the room. # Hunger. When your stomach is grumbing and gurgling, it is harder to think about things like the periodic table or your Spanish III vocab words. To remedy this, make sure you eat regular meals, especially breakfast. # Sickness. When you are not feeling well, you usually just want to sleep in your bed while wearing some pajamas, not learning the quadratic formula. Plus, it is hard to take notes when you keep sneezing. # Having a bad attitude. If you have an attitude about either the class or the material, it makes it harder to learn it. If you think that it is a stupid class, it is almost like having some kind of a mental block against the material. # Lack of sleep. When you don't get enough sleep, your mind fees like it is in a hazy fog and you just can't do things as well. To tell you the truth, caffeine won't always make it better. The only thing that can help is to get enough sleep.

The easiest way to memorize a long piece of writing is just to repeat it over and over. Start reading it out loud - yes, out loud does work better than just reading to yourself! - and after you read it 20 or 30 times (if you're paying attention when you read, that is) you'll know it!

I read what I found on Google -- these machines are really for meditation. There is no scientific evidence to prove that any of them increase your IQ or memory.

Meditation is good for helping you learn how to relax, and that will help your memory if you are an anxious or worried person. However, you can learn how to relax without buying an expensive machine!

A health assessment is a wide range of survey type question that you are asked to answer. Once you have answered the questions, you will be told how your health looks based on those answers.

Make a tall, thin loop. make a rounded football shape to the bottom right of this loop. You can also look up cursive on the web . It helps.

In the wording you have (Is he...), you would simply write "Is he stupid."

But, if there is a descriptive word after the word "stupid", ONLY then would you write, "a stupid". For example: "Is he a stupid oaf."

You can't say "an stupid" because the word stupid does not begin with a vowel sound and "an" is only used before words with a vowel at beginning. BUT that rule does not apply with proper names, for example, it would be incorrect to write:

Incorrect: Orrin is an stupid.

Correct: Orrin is stupid.

HOWEVER, "stupid" is derogatory and name-calling when used about a person! Stupid is also a "value judgement", in which one person judges another. It is mere opinion, not fact. So try to pick a different word.

Incorrect: Julie thought that was an stupid book.

Correct: Julie thought that was a stupid book.

Typically, in the English language, there would rarely be a time that it would be correct to write "an stupid". In almost all cases, the wording will be "a stupid" or simply "stupid" (without "a" before it).

If you are told that something was "burned into you memory," it means that you can vividly recall and event or image. For many people, the face of their mother or their childhood phone number is burned into their memories.

Soot, ash, and dust.

A quiz checks to be sure that you have learned the material that you were supposed to learn. If you keep up with your homework, you can always pass a quiz.

I suggest you buy earplugs from the chemist for a couple of dollars and study in your bedroom with the door closed or you can study in the library. The best way to study is to do an hour everyday after you get home from school. Try and use the same spot. If you have a desk keep it clear. Or you can sit on your bed. I also suggest you tell your parents your having trouble studying and ask them what they suggest you and they could do about it.

I applaud you for wanting to study when your 12. It's really important for your future.


Answer:
Perhaps you could use earphones with your computer or iPod (or similar) to play masking music or "Tranquility" noises to block out the sounds. However - once out in the world of work you'll find offices and labs are just as noisy as your home. The best thing to do is practice learning to ignore this background clatter.

I am assuming you are referring to Ninja-like skills here, not the Art called "The Unseen Movement." The way to master physical skills is to practice them until they become second nature. Ninjas start out as kids and train for years to be able to sneak around silently.

Start practicing your sneaking and see how quiet you can be if you concentrate. Spend at least an hour every day practicing things like walking without stepping on things, moving your body without touching the things around you, and breathing more quietly. It also helps if you are in good physical condition, so keep up your exercise and eat right!

It's the opposite, actually - doing your work helps you to learn and remember the material better.

The word is on one side, and the definition is on the other side.

Einstein once said that he thought in a stream of pictures. He used mental imagry to help him think and create new ideas. He liked to play with what he called "thought experiments" where he would imagine all sorts of wild and unusual ideas. The idea of relativity came to him after he imagined what it would be like to ride on a beam of light. Einstein also set aside time every day to think. His brain was his greatest asset, and he used it as if he were going into a job, taking time out to do nothing but imagine and wonder and try to come up with new ideas. He also used what he called "hard thinking" and "soft thinking." Hard thinking was when he studied scientific information and worked on learning new facts and new scientific formulae. Soft thinking was when he stopped consciously working on things with his mind and instead did things he enjoyed, like playing the violin or sailing. When his body was relaxed, his mind often worked on the scientific problems subconsiously, and he could come up with very creative ideas that way. You can use Einstein's techniques yourself. First, study your schoolwork as hard as you can. Then, take an hour or so to do something you enjoy, and let your mind work on the problems while your body does something else. You can also use "thought experiments" to dream up new ideas for yourself.

Ask a friend or your parents to help you or say "I'm sorry, but I really don't understand this problem,"

Homework could be confusing for a number of reasons. You may not have listened well in class while the teacher was explaining it, you may not have taken notes to refer back to, or the teacher may not have explained something well.

Practise, practise and more practise, when you get bored from failing so much, buy a Whistle.

This is called "subliminal" learning - it doesn't make you memorize things, but it helps your brain get started learning by being familiar with the terms.

If you mean house addresses, the best way would be rote memorization. Keep reciting the addresses and have a mental image of who lives there. It takes a little effort, but for just nine things, it's the quickest way.
