Effective Study Habits

R-Repetition 

 Here, the repetitive reading that you have done again and again will create over learning of the material to the extent that if you do forget some of it, that part will be minimal.



O- Over Learning

For effective study habits make sure your summary is short and straight to the point.


S- Summarization

This is essentially a follow up step to the last step but you should enumerate the major points in a linear manner with the most important information first. 


E-Enumeration

Devise Mnemonics for important ideas and principles. This is to help your immediate recall and reutilization of such ideas.


M-Mnemonics

Apply the information you have read to your personal life to make it more memorable so that you understand it.


A-Application
