How to Study: STUDY SKILLS

About this ebook
Some of the main axes that are addressed in this text are related to the need to have a method to study, in order to advance step by step: the method we chose to detail to the reader is called PQRST.
Not studying by memory, what to do regarding group study, what to do if the student did not read before going to class and other topics, are present in this invaluable volume.

INTRODUCTION
TO BEGIN WITH, A BASIC AND ESSENTIAL IDEA
There are many mistakes a student can make. But none is as important, strategically, as the following: STUDYING TO PASS.
Yes, exactly: YOU DON'T HAVE TO STUDY TO PASS. THE OBJECTIVE OF STUDYING SHOULD NOT BE THE TEST OR THE GRADE. The focus must be totally changed.
So? YOU HAVE TO STUDY IN ORDER TO LEARN. So that study becomes a habit, a habit.
Keep in mind that each new concept learned is a stepping stone, a base, that will help us to move up to the next level. What is important to pass Math I or Spanish History of the 19th century is to have the basis for Math II or Spanish History of the 20th century. Otherwise, it is useless.
TO FOLLOW: YOU MUST HAVE A METHOD
Like everything in life, the best thing to do is to be organized, that is to say, to have a method. Improvisation is fantastic, but just as to improvise a guitar plucking you must have previously studied the scales (which indicate which notes to play and which not to play), to study you must have theory and solfège
before being creative.
Where to study
We have to choose a quiet environment, with little noise, where people do not come in and out all the time. A ventilated place with a pleasant temperature. And obviously, without TV or radio (there are those who study with background music, which is feasible as long as it is not an excuse not to study).
When to study: making a work plan
What would be a work plan: a CHRONOGRAM or agenda for the week, where you write down exam dates and establish (according to those dates) days and times when you are going to study. The amount of hours will depend on the volume of what you have to study.
Logically, it is necessary to DIVIDE THE SUBJECTS of study among the days of the week. The most practical thing to do would be to make a WEEKLY SCHEDULE, because it also serves to write down a personal commitment.
It is advisable to set fixed days and times for this to become a habit. It is also necessary to classify the time: some days to read, others to summarize, others
