The challenging part of studying is that what works best for one person may not be what works best for someone else. And, even if you figure out what works best for you in one particular subject area, that doesn't mean this particular strategy will be most effective for a different subject.
The best news is that there are TONS of different ideas and strategies that you can use to develop a study strategy that works best for you! For what it is worth, think of learning to study like you think of learning to run. You already know some skills that have helped you to know how to study and to be successful - just like you already know how to run, but if you practice and really train at running, you can improve significantly and studying will work just the same. Keep working at your study strategies, practice and continue refining your technique until you find the perfect combination that works for you.
Freshmen, the upperclass LINK Leaders are focused on helping you prepare for your exams. On Wednesday during the PACK period you will meet with your LINK leaders from the first day to talk more about preparing for exams. Be sure to check your school email to find out where you are going to go to meet with your designated LINK leaders.
And for all students, if you are struggling to find strategies to try out, I encourage you to visit the WKHS Counselor website as their are lots of examples there. You can also work with the Academic Assistant's in the Teaching and Learning Center (Room 205) as they have a wealth of knowledge and helpful tips for study strategies that can help you in their particular subject areas as well as studying overall. And, last, but not least, you can also stop in and see me and I can help brainstorm ideas that you could try.
