IBF Student Study Tips – Week 2
SET STUDY GOALS
- In addition to the use of a study timetable, set study goals to assist with ensuring you cover all your course material before the examination date.
- Ensure that you provide enough time for more difficult topics. Reminder that some topics might be easily understood by some rather than others. Know your style and pace of studying to create realistic study aims with enough contingency time for unforeseen circumstances (e.g. increased workload, holidays, illness etc.).
KNOW YOUR STUDY STYLE
- There are various styles of learning based on each individual. The main three (3) are: Auditory Learning Style, Visual Learning Style and Tactile/Kinesthetic Learning Style. Based on your style you can develop learning techniques to help you better retain and recall the study material.
