As we approach the beginning of the school year, students everywhere are making promises to themselves and their parents that they will study better and work harder this year. But what happens when those resolutions quickly go out the window a few weeks into the school year. If your child gets distracted easily or perhaps is stuck in a studying rut, here are some scientifically proven methods that will help you study more effectively this year:Ditch Cramming:Interval studying is best but if you don’t have time to study for a little bit every single day, cramming won’t have a positive impact on your grades either. Studies show that it’s better to study closer to the day you learn the material than to the day of the test. If you learn something on Tuesday and your test is the following Tuesday, crack open your books that Thursday to help better retain knowledge and pass that exam.Forget Digital:Tablets and other methods of e-learning are good ways to supplement education, but research shows that print material is still more beneficial when it comes to studying. Not only do electronic devices cause slower reading times over a printed book, but they failed to provide students with the repetition they need in order to grasp new material.Stop Multi-tasking:Sure, working on many different things at once can often be considered a good thing in life, but not when it comes to studying. You’re significantly decreasing your studying efficiency when you stop to do things like answer a text message or change the TV channel. Constant interruptions when studying hinders the absorption process and how much material you can retain. It’s also important to set a comfortable, relaxing mood when studying--listen to music, light a candle or dim the lights-- whatever gets you to relax.Change Your Scenery:We’ve all fallen into the habit of getting stuck in a rut in our familiar spaces and routines. Changing your scenery can prove very effective when sitting down to study. Just that slight change can give you the refresh you need to focus and absorb yourself in the material.Is your child struggling to study or having a hard time in school? Let Club Z! Westide help.
