[b]Did you know that it is possible to learn more from less studying? It seems implausible, but many people have aced their exams by studying less. Here are some facts that you probably didn’t know:

Smart people use a different learning strategy; they are not just gifted.
Your grades could improve if you did less studying.
You can train yourself to be smart.

How is any of this possible?

The key to learning more by studying less, according to Scott H. Young, is holistic learning. What is it? Basically, holistic learning is the opposite of cramming. When you cram, you fill your head with information, hoping that you will remember it later. Memorization treats the brain like a computer filing system. In holistic learning, you learn by making a connection between ideas. It’s actually a lot messier than it sounds because information is not filed away in neat boxes. Instead, it’s made into a web of interweaved concepts. This type of learning is closer to how the human brain works: which makes it a complete success.

How else can you learn by making connections? Here are several tactics that you can use to connect your ideas together..

i agree.they work for me

They work for me too, especially no. 5. I am always happy when someone comes to say "can you please explain this to me?" cos that person is doing me as much favour as I am doing him/her.

redvektor:
The teaching part work well for me nice articule o.p

Ksslib:

Vert true. I love explaining too cos it helps in retaining information for a very long time. Atimes when there's no one to explain to, I create imaginary people and start explaining to them.

delightful1:

Lol, your own no be here o
I used to have a friend who says explaining things to others make her forget. And I'm like 'pleeasssse, tell me another lie.'

Ksslib:

Lol. That one na small compared to other not so conventional things I do.

Yea.. She might be telling the truth. The Brain works differently on different people. What works for A might not work for B.

Just like my cousin who only assimilates better when reading with music. I tried it and ended up writing Lyrics on my answer sheet.

delightful1:

You are indeed weird.

She was just lying jare, she didn't wanna explain to me ni and because of that I chose not to write the exam at all. Carried it over and did better than her (tho na still carry over). I will never forget that, it pained me.

Lol, I can't read well without music too. With the volume almost at max. Hope you canceled the lyrics sha? Lmao.

Ksslib:

Seems like she wanted to pass alone . And here I was, thinking such childish mentality was meant for only secondary school kids.

But you sef get your own for body oh. Was that enough to decide on not writing your exam?

Don't you get distracted by the music? More like --doesn't it divide your attention?

Lol.. Of course I cancelled it sharperly. Luckily for me, I only wrote a few words before I gained back my senses..

delightful1:

You kidding? Some still do that sh*it o, I have/know a whole lot of people like that..They are everywhere I go

Well, let's just say I acted stupidly then. I was just to pissed at how selfish people could be. I had no clue of the course at all and I really tried to read it but it was as of y brain was under construction then, Lol.

I don't get distracted (at least most of the time). In fact, I can hardly assimilate when there's total silence.

Thank God you got back to your senses before submitting, na one chance you for enter

Don't mind me, I almost forgot that being selfish albeit in a childish way is no respecter of Age.

Yea. Some academic work can be very frustrating. The more you read them, the less you understand. Lol

Hmmmn.. That's strange sha. Never thought a silent environment could ever be a deal breaker for anyone when it comes to reading. Seems you're more weird than I am.
