I am a simple person when it comes to studying. The most effective way for me to study is look at the sheet of paper and just memorize it. I loved memory games as a kid and I was actually very good at them.
Whenever I hear people say that they are terrible with memorizing vocab or information, I always ask them how focused they are. Another skill I have is being able to sit down and focus myself on a task. This is such an important trait for me when it comes to schoolwork. It takes every bit of me to wake up from my nap to go do homework. But I do get it done.
Writing this has also made me come to realize that my determination also helps me get things done. I am determined to finish my homework every night and determined to learn all these new words. Writing things down on paper lets it soak into my brain. I prefer writing and memorizing over any other studying technique. They really are underrated methods.
