Studying is an essential process in learning something. There is an argument that dangerously suggests that we don’t need to memorise anything because it is all available now on the internet! I beg to differ. Firstly, not all information on the “net” is accurate but often the opinion of many (not necessarily true or verified). Secondly, your expertise in doing something should be “internalised” for you to provide value in your area of expertise – a job in the future? The image provides a holistic breakdown but focus is often given to the breaks, exercise, etc.

Today, let us focus on the first step. Figure out the best way for you to learn and do it. This may be through discussion, note-taking, summarising, or teaching others. Reflect on what you know – honestly. Do plenty of practice math exercises to build skill and confidence.Teaching others is a good way of testing yourself. Keep up with work in class. Br prepared for lessons. Do you have your books, pens, etc.? Are you listening attentively in class and making your own notes? Make the effort and you will be successful!
