I need to make this into two paragraphs and make it a little longer. I am drawing a blank. Can someone please help me.
My study habits consist of reading aloud, note taking and last minute cramming. The reading aloud and note taking have always worked well for me. Last minute cramming hasn’t work very well. I seem to always draw a blank on test day. I found while reading the chapter on study habits, that there are ways to improve my ways of studying and why I should stop doing the last minute cramming. I also found SQ3R (Survey, Question, Read, Recite and Recall/Review) to be very resourceful. I intend to apply what I have learned to better my studying habits.
I've already corrected this once.
Please find it and repost, with corrections.
Yes you did which I am extremely grateful. :) But now I need to make it longer and into two paragraphs. I am drawing a blank as to what to add to complete the task.
Michelle, related to this question, but not addressing your need, is some knowledge about your learning style. You probably will find this insightful.

and related to SQ3R, you need to explore a structured notetaking (ie, google Cornell Notetaking), which will help you greatly in classes, if you bother to do the work to get that system down.
If you post in the SAME name, it's easier to find your own work!

Now ... follow Bob's advice.
Thanks... And Post in the same name? If your referring my husbands posting yesterday that he used my account. I apologizes for that. It wasn't me. Thanks again for the help. And it does help. Have a great day!!!
You're welcome.
When it comes to my study habits, I have found that incorporating different techniques can greatly improve my learning experience. Over time, I have discovered that two methods, namely reading aloud and note taking, have been particularly effective for me. By reading aloud, I engage not only my visual sense but also my auditory sense, which helps me retain information better. Additionally, taking notes allows me to summarize key points and concepts in my own words, reinforcing my understanding and helping me remember the material more effectively.
However, there is one aspect of my study routine that I have found to be less successful: last minute cramming. Despite my attempts to absorb copious amounts of information just before an exam, I have often found myself struggling to recall important details on test day. Realizing the limitations of this approach, I sought out alternative strategies to enhance my studying methods.
During my research on study habits, I came across an invaluable technique called SQ3R (Survey, Question, Read, Recite and Recall/Review). This method involves surveying the material before diving into it, generating questions to guide my reading, actively engaging with the content through reading and recitation, and finally reviewing and recalling the information for better retention. Intrigued by this structured approach, I realized that implementing SQ3R has the potential to revolutionize my learning process.
With the newfound knowledge and understanding of effective study habits, I am determined to apply what I have learned to better my methods. By incorporating reading aloud, note taking, and the SQ3R technique into my routine, I am confident that I will not only optimize my learning experience but also avoid the pitfalls of last minute cramming. These improvements will undoubtedly help me overcome the challenge of drawing a blank on test day and ultimately allow me to reach my full academic potential.
