You wanna learn how to study? 1. Without even knowing about a topic look at a question and try to answer it. (I call this the free thinking, the real common sense thinking) and most probably you wouldn't be. But if you do, good. Just read the book and look at the other way 2. Now that you have some sense of your mind and how it will feel when you learn something, try reading the book. (Most of the books don't even have much complicated things they just have descriptions.) ( Become aware that words are just words and real phenomenon is just real phenomenon. For example: you can call the earth's gravitation " a fan's motor" the words are just words, the action is just action. Gravitation (action) wouldn't turn into motor (action) just because you name it that.) 3. So.. how do you even know you're learning something? Well in simple terms the feeling you felt at the first point above. You could somewhat see yourself using that process to a similar type of question. It's kinda vague but here's an example: i hate maths. One day after graduating school i just had a thought that " English is kinda slow langauge, i wanna make a new language where i could express my thoughts faster. It was all good until this point, i just thought of 5 letters. But how many words can I even make? I got aware that i must use the concept of permutations and combinations but i realised something. I never really learnt anything. I mean yeah i remember at some point i was able to do that but it was a "black box" concept. I knew the process but never understood it. This time while reading the damn nightmare book, i understood it. It wasn't some gibberish. Well first of all it wasn't even written good in the book so i just searched on the net. But it was like 'okay imagine the slots for the letters, and now if one letter which will be variable(computer concept) goes to first place, next one can't have that same letter so next would be 4 then 3 then 2 then 1. And now you multiply so that you could get the number of possibilities. Well why multiply? And i searched the meaning of multiply. "To obtain from (a number) another which contains the first number a specified number of times." Which is exactly what i wanted. But which contained letters a specified number of times. To count the possibilities of the letter in those slots.'" 4. Just look at the examples and then close everything and go take a rest. Sleep or play i don't care. But the next time you come back you have to make sure you use free thinking rather than study thinking. By study thinking i mean the way you just think a certain way simply because you know that's how you obtain the answer. I must make this clear to you. While your objective could be to answer the question. Your aim is to learn to use your head. Doing study thinking is unproductive to your aim but could be good if you just don't care about learning and just want to solve the answer just for the sake the school wants you to. 5. You repeat the free thinking process again and again after forgetting them and coming back to the concept again and again by your own free thought. That's how you know you've learnt something. Mix a lot of different types of problems together in your this "revision" session of coming up with a concept to solve that question. It's tough to learn if you don't fully believe in what you're learning and question if it could even be trusted. That's why understand it. So you can trust it because your understand that the process you're using is aligned with what you want to do.

Quick summary! The GROW method is a study system designed to help students save time and keep track of their progress. The term GROW stands for Grid, Rating system, Overall outcome, and Weakest topic. The method involves creating a grid for each exam, listing all the topics in the left column, and rating how confident one feels about each topic by using a color-coded system (e.g., red, yellow, green) each time a topic is reviewed. The goal is to have zero red topics and as many green topics as possible by exam day. This system helps students avoid over-studying topics they find easy and under-studying topics they find challenging by focusing more time on topics they are less confident about.

[@JohnPaulGordillo]

Thanks! Expanding on your work: The GROW method is a study system designed to help students save time and keep track of their progress. The term GROW stands for: • Grid • Rating system • Overall outcome • Weakest topic The method involves: 1. Grid - creating a grid for each exam (like Excel or Sheets), listing all the topics in the left column; every time the topic is reviewed, record the date to the right 2. Rating - Color code each review date based on how confident you feel about the subject matter (e.g., red-weak, yellow-ok, green-strong) 3. Overall outcome - The goal is to have zero red topics and as many green topics as possible by exam day. 4. Weakest topic - Re-study the weakest topics again. This system helps students avoid over-studying topics they find easy and under-studying topics they find challenging by focusing more time on topics they are less confident about.

[@cadenczx4193]

I’ve been trying to find such a study method for the longest time! One that would allow me to know what topics i was uncertain at and how confident I was at certain topics.This will allow me to spend my time more efficiently. I won’t need to waste time discovering my weak points, and I will be able to get straight to my problematic topics. This will definitely help my time management, and this is without a doubt the most efficient study method I’ve seen so far!

Thank you The GROW method Build an Adaptable review schedule 1. Grid Build a grid schedule and whenever you review then write down the date and so on. 2. Rational Come up with a color coded system about how confident we feel about that subject 3. Overall outcome At the day of the exam we would want most of the subject to be green (I feel Confident) and as least red/ yellow as possible. 4. Weakest topic You should study the weakest topic at the moment you have so that it will turn green as soon as possible.

Here will post my comment too if you need advice: -First write down in detail which topic you really should study so that you don't feel overwhelmed later. -Use this/ the retrospective revision method. -Active recall is the best tool to learn efficient without too using too much of your time (if it's a big test then you still have to use much time tho) I also like to make mini deadlines that also will motivate you and not scare you too much about the real test plus you get more done in my pov with mini deadlines. -Use your unique pomodoro timer. (Mine is for example 4× 30/5) -Also try to get proper free time like really plan them that's much better than doing more and just procrastinate. -I also advise you to write your retrospective revision method and all that in one notebook so you always have it and you know where you are right now. Because another great tool of memorization isn't just active recall it's spaced repetition. (Look up the 60/40 rule) I also use a habit tracker in there and write some stuff to motivate me. If you speak german i also recommend you the book: Vom Aufschieber zum Lernprofi- Fabian Grolimund

[@blueicer101]

Honestly, I had to use more than red green and blue to motivate myself to study anything because I found it too slow and I wouldn't make much progress. I used red, amber, yellow, green, blue and purple and wrote a key. red was I couldn't remember anything in this topic(this is great because you're not lingering in red if you simply pay attention to what the topic is about and you don't build anxiety and it makes the starting process easier as you move to amber really easily), amber means you know at least something, yellow means you understand it mostly and green means you understand it fully. Now you might be thinking what are blue and purple for. This is for exam prep: blue means that you are able to recall it accurately and purple just means you can instantly recall and then apply to an example question. Honestly this feels like the best way because you don't have a vague idea of where you are and sometimes subject build on each other so you'd realistically need to at least get the previous topics to at least yellow before moving on because that may just waste your time if you didn't understand the previous topic.

[@SB-qt8qj]

How would you review the specific topics? By doing past papers and flashcards for example?

[@Agent00Dash]

I would say start with understanding of the topic, then when going over it use your preferred revision technique, for example flash cards. Next when you feel confident in the topic, do a past paper, mark it, or get someone to, then you can see if there are any gaps in the topic when you came 'under stress' in exam conditions. Other review methods are blurting, index cards, and mind maps. Hope I answered your question :)

Use active learning strategies so yes past papers and flashcards would work!

How do we revise from mind maps. I understand we can make flash cards for the 3rd layer details, but what about the mind map? Are we expected to just make a great mind map once and assume we’ll remember the relationships we cultivated. Is reading/reviewing the mind map enough?

[@CreaZOne-hb9jm]

No, if you want to use mind maps the right way you need to revise not The Mind Map but recall the mind map and how do you do that is simple , as you just simply create another mind map when you are revising the concept and when you create a new Mind Map it automatically allow you to analyse the areas which you are weak in because you will not be able to recall them while making the new one .Mind maps are just the best way to do spaced repetition on the bigger picture.
