Comment on How to Mind Map for Legal Tests and Exams by Ann

HiJane
Thanks very much for the mindmap on section 48. I found mindmapping years ago however I have not been able to get fully into because I could not see how to go from an academic page to a mindmap. Mindmapping my thoughts and goals etc was straight forward but going from a book was proving challenging AND I never could find a source to fully help. Until now! Thanks for your time. The books I have found do not take that first step of showing you a page of theory and then putting it into a mindmap. Perhaps it might seem a bit spoonfed but the one word never worked so now I can see better how to do it. Thanks again. Ann

Comment on 5 ways to motivate yourself to study a boring subject and/or complete a project by Jane

Hi Oku

I used to have this problem too – I would read the book but would struggle to be able to fully understand and retrieve the information in a test/exam situation.

You need to acquire a deep understanding (not just a knowledge of random facts) when you study. Have you tried mind mapping before?

This technique really helped me to understand my subjects more deeply.

You also need to pratice retrieving info (learning it is one thing, but getting it out of your brain takes practice!)

Hang in there. Just start to experiment with different techniques and strategies. Things can only get better from here!

Cheers,
Jane

Teachers always say just read the book you’ll be fine. The problem is even I read the book, but I cannot remember the whole thing.

I took a history class two times and I failed twice even I studied overnight.

I don’t know what to do anymore. =(
