When it comes to studying for an exam, starting a new class, or improving your education with a new daily lesson – learning is like eating a steak.
First the meat needs to be at room temperature = you need to be mentally and physically prepared to learn
Add some seasoning = again, prepare yourself to absorb the new information, it’s a good idea to test your pre-knowledge of the subject
Put the steak on the fire = this would be the lesson itself
Let it rest = the key component of this; give your brain a break. Let the mind process and think about what it has just learned. This is very important especially when preparing to take a key exam – the day before the test, relax, don’t stress out, don’t even study. Cramming in more facts, data, and figures just doesn’t work.
These tips are just a sample of those that I will be talking about next week – the studying tips you can use as you prepare for High School and College Finals.
