Week 5 – Preparation & Review Strategies

Week 5 – Preparation & Review Strategies


The three preparation and review strategies that I plan to incorporate as a part of my next exam include condensing my text and lecture material, study sheets and recitation techniques.

I will review the material that I have already marked and highlighted, starting with the oldest material first, creating a study sheet listing the specific topic and important information pertaining to that topic. My choice of a study sheet is because I can review information when I have a few minutes of extra time at my work/school. I carry my clipboard with me throughout the day and I can quickly access a study sheet if I have it on my clipboard. It will allow me to have some additional study time as I prepare for the exam.

The third strategy that I have chosen is recitation. I have not been one to use that technique in the past, because I felt strange talking out loud, to no one. I have however, been doing that recently and I am realizing that it does help me remember information, I am seeing the printed words in my mind. It also helps me put the information into my own words. I know that in the future there are other strategies that I may try. What I am learning now has opened a new door as to how I process learning.
