Alone

Here are some study tips for different learning styles that I’ve gathered from talking to friends and from what some professors have recommended their students to do:

VISUAL

draw pictures in your notes

benefit from illustrations & presentations that use color

use diagrams, graphs, underlining, mind-maps, etc

study in a visually appealing place

AUDITORY

study in groups, discuss things out with other people

record lectures, take part in a study group, go to tutoring

reduce lecture notes to only the main ideas

read texts out loud, pretend to teach someone else

explain ideas to other people

recite, recite, recite

create jingles or mnemonics 

READ/WRITE

take notes during the lecture

underline, highlight, or circle printed material

borrow other students’ notes to compare and contrast

use a variety of colors, pens, highlighters, note cards, etc

write it out, re-write your notes, create mind-maps

make and use flashcards for studying

KINESTHETIC

trace letters and words to learn spellings, etc

take several breaks

write everything out

move around to learn new things

use non-distracting movement while you learn (like shaking your leg/foot, chewing gum, tap your pen/pencil)

listen to non-distracting music

study while walking or working out

MULTI-MODAL

write things out but also use colors and diagrams

move around, study in an isolated space, work at a standing desk
