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. =(
