Answer 1

As you are studying any subject make mnemonics for the main items.

Answer 2

I Will answer the last Q? first.

When you are not sure what is important then start considering every thing important.

It is all about knowing the subject matter.

There are many ways to know the subject mater, I Will handle 4 way of learning.

Understanding:

This is the best method but there are times when you just do not  have to understand it. Just Know it.

Memorising:

This is a must, if the exam requires you to remember the dates, etc and the stories and Question's you on the story or History then you just need to remember that. One way is to memorise it and some times it is the only way. But there is help, you can find book on developing the technique of improving your memory.

I will mention a few:

Make up a song or a poem.

By association.

By word games.

------- See if you can think of some more.

Mechanically:

This is very use full in learning the Mathematical methods, you learn to solve one problem then mechanically solve any other similar problem.

By association.

In this method you try and associate thing to lean about some things.

By experience:

-------.

By Will Power (determination). By repeatedly reading the same thing. Lots of people do not understand the first time but on the tenth time it just clicks.

How to Concentration

By

Most of us have a limited attention spell (about 45 minute on an average), so trick is to increase the length of this attention spell.

So you must find that magic period for you or assume that you are average and set an alarm for 40 minutes and start doing things with full concentration. When the alarm goes of you must take 5 minutes break and repeat the process, in few day you will be very comfortable with this arrangement. Now it is a time to increase this period to say 50 minutes or even and hour, but still take 5 minutes off and repeat this and expand the time every few days, taking the same 5 minutes beaks. Soon you will find that you will need less amount of break on your own. Setting the alarm for the length of break is very important also no matter what.

Hints:

1. Healthy life style is a must.

2. Good 8 hour minimum sleep at night time or at the least 8 hours of rest.

3. Nutritious food. Regular eating habits.

4. Exercises, light and on regular bases.

Fear

By

minootoo

Fear is a good thing.

It is there to protect you.

It takes determination and some help to overcome the fear.

eg Fear of darkness, height, travel....all this are very good fear to have but it must not over power ones life. It should make you alert to the situation.

Darkness, if it makes you alert the chances of tripping and falling are less.

Height, if you have this fear you will be careful and stay clear of the dangerous situation and avoid falling of a cliff.

Travel, if you are alert because of this fear it will make your journey safer.

The trick is to face the fear and turn it in to an added advantage to you by being cautious.

Yoga

By

Yoga is short for Yogic exercises.

It originated in India and it is has religious over tone at one time, people were interested in living good life in Harmony with nature and the religion, and in the process were trying to achieve salvation.

Russi-munises had their ways or methods, other group like Jogi had their method ....... and Yogi were following this method. To-day loosely known world over as yoga, they discover that, they were able to derive good benefits by holding certain position for few minute, and thinking nothing but of salvation, they found peace of mind in doing so and at the same time benefited physically. Some then stated experimenting, with deferent words or sounds found in nature, from the prevailing language(Sanskrit), the main sound used is the sound that you can here in certain places on earth it is a peaceful sound of the rotation of the earth, through the space, neglecting all other relative motions we, on earth, are moving at about 1076 miles per hour, there is a certain hum to it that sounds like "Oommm" this is the basic chant, done by students and the teachers of yoga, in so doing they got extra benefits of putting more air through the lungs, which in turn gave more oxygen to the body(brain) they realized mind clearing effects.

Some Yogi started doing Jup(repeating the words over and over again, like hail Mary prayers) they may hold a position and using a bead string say the same word over and over again, and when they are all the way around the rosary they may continue for few rounds of rosary and then take new position. The Hindus have 1001 names for the God, they may use " "Oommm" by it self or add usually Santy (it means peace, but they are praying or asking for peace of mind, body and soul). Some may use Isver (a name for god) with “Oommm"("Oommm-Isver) or some other name of god.

Most people engaging in Jogic exercises do not use mantras (Mantras are few words put together to praise the lord or ask for wish or thank the God). It may or may not have effect but basically it is used to keep track of time as far as holding the position, and then taking the new one. You may want to use a stop watch, with a bell, say Hail Mary X number of times.

I do believe that the position and the breathing exercises that go with the positions are very beneficial, and if you are interested then at least you should try them without chants or mantras. I am not a Hindu but I do not mind even the chants if I have no objection to them and I know the exact meaning of them.

PS

Circumference of the earth is about 24000 mile and it comes back to same position after 24 hours (one day's time) so 1000 miles per hour, (actually 1076 at equator) almost zero at poles.

Answer 3

try tutoring or even take notes and lots of them.

Answer 4

I have to move too last year, and I have to self-study for 6 months..Not too mention I skipped 3 years (the system differs).

1. Well, not having interest in a particular subject is quite a troublesome. Try to change your method of studying. I mean there's a lot of ways to study, just by sitting all day reading notes won't help. Watch educational tv programs (National Geographic, Discovery Science, Discovery Channel etc) or Science movies like (I don't know any).

2. Play a game of memory = Put pictures relating to science/ other subjects (Equation for maths etc) and when you've got a match you have to explain the picture/equation etc. Play this with your friends or families.

3. Search for online games (relating to education of course).

4. Play a game of scrabble where you have to make/build words relating to Science only.

5. Get lot of practice and sources (for topics). Its better to get more than just one source. Who knows you might not understand the notes in this book, but you understand the notes on other books.

-That's all that I could think of. Break a leg! All the best for you.

Answer 5
