 How to study ? The actual step by step process of study 2020

Yes! Believe it or not, studying begins on the first 

day of the course you are taking and there are 

altogether nine steps you must master!

( Every step will be explained briefly in future posts. Stay tuned)

STEP 1: SET VERY CLEAR GOALS

Many students think that the fi rst step to studying should be to read their notes or their textbooks. I believe that before you do that, the fi rst thing you must do is to set very clear goals on the results you want to get for the subjects you are studying. How many ‘A’s are you going for?

This is very important because the goals you set will determine how you study and therefore your results! If you set a goal to score 100% in mathematics, will you study very differently as compared to setting a goal to score 60% 

instead? Of course! When you are going 

for 100%, your brain knows that it cannot 

afford to make a single mistake. Chances are, 

this will cause you to study every relevant 

point in the syllabus! As a result, you may 

score that 100% and if not, you will get 90% 

or more!

However, if you set a goal to score 60% 

instead, then your brain will know that 

it can afford to lose 40% of the marks. 

Chances are, you won’t bother studying 

everything, skipping chapters that you do 

not understand or do not like! After all, you can afford to not know 40% of the information. The result will be either scoring that 60%, barely scraping through at 50% or even failing!

What’s even worse is that when you do not set a goal, your brain will automatically lock on to the lousiest score it can get away with (i.e. 50%). 

That’s suicidal !

STEP 2: PLANNING & SCHEDULING

You can set all the fantastic goals you want. 

But you won’t achieve them unless 

you come up with a plan and schedule 

your time so that you will know when 

to do what.

STEP 3: TAKING CONSISTENT ACTION

Everybody can set goals and develop great plans and 

schedules. However, it is the students who are able to 

get themselves to take consistent action every day who 

produce great results. It is the ability to constantly follow 

through every day to read their textbooks, make their 

notes and revise that makes the difference.

Unfortunately, if you are like most students, 

you fall into the trap of being lazy and 

procrastinating all the time. Sometimes, you 

just do not feel like studying, especially after 

you feel lousy about something. By the time you 

actually sit down and get some work done, the 

exams have arrived!

STEP 4: POWER-READING FOR INFORMATION

This is the first of the super learning 

strategies. You must begin by power reading 

textbooks and relevant reading materials for 

important information. Remember that not all 

the words in a textbook are important.You 

need to extract only the words (known as Keywords) that give you the information.

STEP 5: MIND MAPPING

After gathering all the information-rich keywords, you must then make Whole-brain notes called Mind Maps® that help you re-organise the information in a way that saves you time and activates your brain power.

STEP 6: SUPER MEMORY

The next step is to use Super Memory techniques to easily 

and effortlessly absorb all the important information. Many 

educational systems are moving towards higher order 

thinking and away from pure memory based questions. 

However, remember that unless you can absorb and retain 

information, you will not be able to use it in higher level 

critical thinking! Before you can achieve level two, you 

must always master level one first.

STEP 7: MAGIC OF APPLICATION

You can memorise all the facts and fi gures perfectly, but unless you can apply your knowledge to the many different types of questions that are set in the examination, you will not score an ‘A’. In Chapter 11, we will explore strategies on how to apply what you have learnt and activate your thinking skills.

STEP 8: EXAM PREPARATION

The last super learning strategy is knowing how to prepare for the examination. 

This starts two months before the examination.

STEP 9: TAKING THE EXAM

The last yet most important step in the Successful Learning Process is taking the examination. Remember, examinations are game.
