Ever encountered a situation where you studied diligently only to find the information slipping away moments later?
Been there, experienced that!
Here are several strategies to ensure the retention of your studies:
Repetition, Recode, and Read out loud!
REPETITION: It's highly probable that your brain requires multiple exposures to encode information into memory. Dedicate a portion of each day to revisiting studied topics!
For nursing students, self-testing is an invaluable technique. Repetition serves as a potent study aid. Hence, I've developed these templates. Whether quizzing yourself on diseases or medications, distancing yourself from the textbook is crucial.
I vividly recall questioning, "How can they expect us to grasp all this?" Mere reading won't suffice; you need to jot down, vocalize, and repeat information numerous times.
Recoding: In essence, this entails simplifying the complex and verbose content from your textbooks into language that resonates with you.
Remembering something you've paraphrased yourself proves far more effective than recalling lengthy paragraphs from your textbook.
Read Out Loud: Do you truly comprehend the material?
Avoid passively absorbing information from friends or instructors; instead, actively immerse yourself in it. When you can articulate the content confidently, you've truly grasped it. This serves as an ideal gauge of your readiness for upcoming exams.
Best wishes to all aspiring vets - You're fully capable of succeeding!
