BEFORE YOU START STUDYING

Plan

1. You have to be clear about how you are going to use the time. The first thing is to plan and decide what you are going to learn and how much time you are going to spend.

2. You should study as much as you need without leaving a subject or problem half-way through, so that you can study a different subject. Otherwise, what you learn will be so confusing that it will be the same as not having studied at all.

3. Make a list of all the activities you will do that afternoon. It's a good idea to have a daily study schedule, but one that is realistic, given your abilities.

4. Arrange the activities. Which one should you start with? Some experts advise starting with what is easiest for you, to encourage you to keep studying. Others say it's better to start with the difficult subjects, and get them out of the way as soon as possible. You choose, based on your own experience.

5. The schedule should be flexible and prepared for the unexpected. It will help you not to accumulate backlogs.

6. Don't forget to include time for rest and leisure in your schedule.

NOTES

Take note of what matters

7. When taking notes, try to listen to everything the teacher says.

8. Stand close, as you will be in a better position to see and hear.

9. You should pay close attention at the beginning of the class. This is the moment when the teacher gives a general idea of the subject.

10. Adopt a good posture in the chair. It will make it easier for you to attend and therefore understand the class.

11. While you are taking notes, you should discover which ideas are main, secondary or anecdotal.

12. If the teacher says something is very important, highlight it. It's very possible that you'll fail the exam.

13. Leave space or margin for later notes.

14. If there is something in the explanation that you didn't catch, leave a space to complete it at the end of the class.

IN FORM

Mens sana in corpore sano

15. To study well, it is as important to be in good physical condition as it is psychic.

16. A balanced diet is recommended, rich in phosphorus, calcium and vitamins: vegetables, fish, milk, eggs and fruits. Remember that food is your gasoline.

17. Do not overdo it with copious meals. A heavy stomach will prevent you from studying.

18. It is advisable to eat small amounts, but several times a day.

19. Sleep between 7 and 9 hours. Rest is essential to study.

20. If you are one of those who are stressed and want to guarantee a peaceful sleep, take a warm bath before dinner or bed.

21. Deep breathing exercises are also relaxing.

22. Regular physical exercise is another good practice against stress.

23. Stimulants should not be taken for study purposes. Caffeine-rich drinks, such as coffee or cola, can make you nervous and have the opposite effect to what you want.

THE SCHEDULE

Get organized!

24. Get used to having a fixed study schedule.

25. Take 5-10 minute breaks every hour.

26. It is recommended to study from Monday to Saturday from 2 to 3 hours a day.

27. Manage your study time well. Time is difficult to control and is easily wasted on unproductive and aimless tasks.

28. Use Sundays for leisure and hobbies.

29. Don't leave studying to the last minute. Haste does not help learning. Start preparing for the exams from the beginning of the course.

PLACE OF STUDY

Everything in its place

30. Always study in the same room. It will help you concentrate.

31. The study place should be airy and well ventilated.

32. There has to be an adequate temperature. Not too cold, not too hot.

33. Study in a room without noise. In any case, soft music.

34. Make sure there are no distractions such as television, radio, games, cell phone or table decorations.

35. The work table should have all the necessary material for study.

36. The light should preferably be natural, if not white or blue. It should come from the side opposite to the hand with which you write.

37. It is advisable to use a light bulb with a blue 60W bulb. In the rest of the room a dim light.

38. The table and chair should be in line with your height.

39. The chair should be comfortable, but not too comfortable and with a backrest.

40. The trunk should be stretched out and the back should be supported by the back of the chair.

41. You should be about 30 centimeters from your notes or study book.

THE TIME OF STUDY

It's time to study

42. It's important to be determined when it comes to studying. You have to be aware that it is a job that has to be done and it is better to do it with desire and joy.

43. First look at the lesson.

41. Separate the parts that make up the topic.

44. Look at the drawings and graphics.

45. Try to relate that topic to previously acquired knowledge.

46. Make an initial synthesis of the topic.

UNDERLINED

Highlight what's important

47. Try to understand the subject before you start to underline.

48. The underlining is a critical selection. You must highlight the main ideas.

49. Underlining must make complete sense.

50. Underline the main ideas with red or double line.

51. Underline with blue or single line the secondary ideas, examples and data.

52. It is not advisable to use more than two colors.

53. A vertical line in the margin means that the whole paragraph is marked.

54. Other signs that you can use are rounding, for numbering or classification; box, for statements, name or key dates; question mark, when there are indications of error; exclamation mark, to check a statement; period, when you have to complete other readings

55. It is advisable to underline between 25 and 30% of the text.

DIAGRAM

Organize the ideas

56. Arrange in a logical way the main and secondary ideas underlined.

57. Classify them according to your criteria.

58. Use your own words. It will be easier to memorize later.

59. First of all, be brief, short, precise and clear sentences.

60. Try to say everything important in the least amount of space possible.

61. The outline should have a clean presentation.

62. You can use the symbol of the arrows as a link

63. You must make a title that summarizes the content.

64. Divide the subject into three or four sections that collect several main ideas and that hang the secondary ones.

65. Leave spaces in the margins for later notes.

66. Use the same indent for the same sections.

67. There are several kinds of diagrams: numerical (number only), mixed (Roman numerals, upper and lower case letters, numbers...) and the synoptic table (of graphs or keys).

68. Use the synoptic table for dates, names, quantities...

SUMMARY

Keep it short

69. This is usually done after the underlining and study of the subject.

70. It should be done by trying not to look at the notes.

71. It should be brief but with all the main ideas.

72. Then you must read it carefully with the original text to complete what is missing.

REVIEW

Ensures that what is learned

73. It consists in mentally repeating the main ideas of the underlining or outline.

74. This should be done with the books closed and notes put aside.

75. It should be checked with the notes.

76. This step must be repeated until the outline is memorized and you are sure that you know the subject.

77. It is recommended to carry out all the good practices that we have commented on. Last-minute binges do not work. You must use your memory in the days before the exam, mainly to memorize the schemes.

REST

Recharge batteries

78. When it's time to rest, leave the room where you study. Relax, eat something, talk to someone, take a walk, or do anything else that is not related to studying. In this way, you will avoid mental fatigue.

EXAM

The moment of truth

79. It is important to go in good physical and mental condition.

80. Get a good night's rest. Get at least six hours of sleep.

81. Go with all the necessary material.

82. Before the exam, take a few minutes to relax: take a deep breath, close your eyes... It will help you control the natural nerves at the beginning of the exam.

83. Always listen to your teacher's instructions before and during the exam. They are important.

84. Take an overview of the exam to organize your time.

85. Spread out your time and questions.

86. If you see a question you don't know, don't be nervous. Save it for last.

86. Ask the questions you know best first.

87. It is important to take into account what kind of exam you are going to have (development, test type...) and what the teacher wants (conciseness, clarity...)

89. Read the questions carefully to find out exactly what they ask.

90. Remember to highlight in your exam what the teacher has highlighted in class.

91. Answer the question. Don't leave by the hills of Úbeda.

92. To do developmental exams: outline the points you want to cover on a separate sheet of paper.

93. Don't answer like a telegram, and don't roll up too much.

94. Review the entire test before handing it in, noting spelling mistakes, omissions, essays. It is just as important to know as it is to look like you know, and teachers take this into account when scoring.

95. Check the back for more questions. You wouldn't be the first one who, in a hurry and nervous, leaves a question he knows unanswered, simply because he hasn't seen it.

96. Take care of the cleanliness, the handwriting and the presentation. It is essential that the teacher understands you.

WHAT IF, AFTER ALL, I FAIL?

98. Don't worry, you can learn from your failures too. Reflect and try to find the reasons why it happened.

99. If it was your nerves that played a trick on you, you know, practice relaxation techniques and put away the exciting drinks.

He hecho un calendario, es sencillo. Si lo quieren descargar pueden darle aquí.

Se ve así. ¿Les gusta? También tengo una versión en inglés.

In a few days I'm going on a trip to an English-speaking country (I'm Spanish) and I'd like to practice the language a little more.

Also, I'm always open to making new friends (although I'm very shy).

So if you're also looking for a new friend or want help with Spanish, send me a message and I'll probably answer you. (I'm a little clueless)

Me muero de felicidad

Lo odio, odio tener miedo. Es más, por lo general cuando tengo miedo intento convencerme de que no es para tanto y hago eso que me da tanto miedo.

Mientras escribo esto me doy cuenta de que quizás confunda miedo con nerviosismo, o al menos en lo que respecta al tema del que quería hablarles.

Si habéis leído mis anteriores post sabréis que el miércoles empiezo a asistir a un FP de Técnico superior, en un centro nuevo. Mientras que mis amigos (al menos algunos de ellos) empiezan a ir a la universidad y/o se mudan lejos.

Soy una persona tímida (sobre todo al principio, luego ya no hay manera de callarme 😂), fui a un colegio muy pequeño, mis compañeros de párvulos fueron los mismos hasta 6 de primaria (9 años) y luego todos fuimos al mismo instituto, donde nos distanciamos, sin embargo nos presentamos unos a otros nuevas personas por lo que hacer nuevos amigos fue rápido.

El punto al que quiero llegar es que, quizás, tengo miedo a no hacer amigos (?). Me resulta estupido escribirlo, pero es así como lo siento. A pesar de ser la típica persona que no habla mucho por mensajes y tener, lo que yo llamo, espíritu de lobo solitario 🐺 quedarme sola no es una idea que me apasione. Todos necesitamos rodearnos de otras personas, es nuestra naturaleza.

(Ya no se ni que quiero decir o sea que voy a cortar aquí jeje 😅)

Creo que un breve resumen de el mensaje que deseaba transmitir puede ser: Se que empezar en un sitio nuevo en el que no conoces a nadie puede ser difícil pero recuerda que probablemente no eres la única persona que se sienta así.

Simplemente sed vosotros mismos y no prejuzguéis a los demás.

Primero que todo tengo que decir que aunque me habían quedado dos asignaturas para junio las he podido recuperar. Por lo tanto, he aprobado Bachillerato.

Y ahora estoy estudiando para la EBAU. Les dejo por aquí una foto que saqué ayer, mi madre fue a su clase de restauración de muebles y mientras tanto yo me quedé estudiando biología.

Les dejo por aquí la canción del día:
