How do you study well?

Recall your study habits when you were in Grade 7. On a piece of paper, list down the steps and
strategies of studying lessons in your preparation for a quiz or exam. Share it with your family
member/s.

Last year, when I had quizzes or tests, I would make a list of the
subjects that I would review the day before the exam. For
example, tomorrow's tests are in Science and English; today, I'm
simply going to review that topic so that I don't get confused
tomorrow, and so on. In terms of my modules, I'll only answer
the ones that I'm able to answer that day so that I don't become
fatigued and have to go over the ones I've already replied. If I'm
answering a module, I'll turn off my phone and listen to music
instead, so I'm not distracted and can focus on my work.

Processing Questions: On a piece of paper, write your answer to the following

questions.

1. Did you find it easy to share your study habits with your family member/s? Why?
Yes, they gave me guidance as well.
2. How do you plan to improve your study habits during this time of pandemic?
I intend to take notes on the topic I'm studying and have time management.
