Now, If the extension (text) is taken away from a student, what will he/she be called? I don’t know anyway. But certainly, he/she can no longer be called a student.

It is obvious that you can do nothing about some text difficulties: for instance, changing the print in a book or changing the writing. However, there are many things you can do to better understand what you read.

7 Skills You Must Learn To Succeed In School

1. UNDERSTAND TIMING
Understanding timing is the very first step to read and understand. Don’t read difficult texts when you are very tired. This is because you brain becomes too relaxed to embark on the journey of radical mental process.
Also, don’t read when you are not in the mood to do so. You will find it very difficult to understand the text you are prepared for or motivated to read.
Always ask yourself the question, do I really want to read now? Remember, telling yourself the truth is honesty.
2. CHOOSE YOUR VENUE
If you read the above heading very well, it says “choose your venue”, not, “choose the venue or choose a venue”.
You have heard from the people of old, even new, that you should read in a quiet place. Verily I say to you, “Read in a place that is best conducive and comfortable for you”.
Many persons are not comfortable reading in the library. What does that tell you? Comfort is relative, not absolute.
You will always find it difficult to understand when you are reading at a place you are not motivated to read.
If studying at the Library makes you to sleep, why not try somewhere else? Follow what works best for you.
3. DON’T STUDY ADMIX
The level of understanding you get from a text varies directly as your purpose of reading it.
You shouldn’t study a question in your Physics text the same way you read newspapers.
Flashlearners adopt the best reading method for specific textbooks or subjects.
When you are studying calculation courses, always be with a note, pen and calculator. Solve as many problems as possible. This will enhance your understanding of the topic.
The best way to read and understand calculation courses is to keep calculating. Solve, solve and solve.
You may be asking, what about non-calculation courses? The same law applies. The more you study them, the more you get revelations.
Also be careful not to read unrelated texts at the same time.
4. GET BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Find something out about the topic you have to read. Read the conclusion or summary of the text first; then point out what you should know after the chapter. This may give you a good start.
What I am saying in essence is this; don’t start start a topic from the difficult part. Always start from basics. This will give you the momentum to press forward. It is always better to start from the known to unknown.
5. UNDERSTAND TRANSITION WORDS IN STUDENT.TXT
When you read your texts in Science, History or Engineering, you will discover that it is written in cohesion (connection).
If you learn transition words, you will find it easier to understand what you are studying.
6. GROUP DISCUSSION
Discussing in a group is a good step to understand what you read. It is also a reading pattern that helps you remember more than 75% of what you read.
The journey is too long that you will become a leper when you choose to do it alone. Once in a while, meet persons around and discuss the topic together. This will not only make you understand what you read. It will as well help you to remember for long.
Teaching others help you remember almost everything you study.
7. DON’T CLASS THE TEXT AS “BORING”
This is where the benefits of good thinking
comes in. Most academic challenges are “mental” and not physical. Have positive view towards learning.
Never classify any subject or topic as difficult. The moment you do that, your interest in reading that subject will begin to die. When that happens, you will find it very difficult to understand when you read it.
This is the foundation of the problem many students have in mathematics. They don’t love the subject. As a result, they battle with mathematics for a long time.
8. AVOID DISTRACTIONS
By all means, make sure that you are not distracted. Handle emotional, physical and psychological issues that might lead to distractions.
What I call distraction may not be distraction to you. However, you alone knows what takes your attention while studying. Put them aside and try to focus a little. This will help you understand the point they are trying to make.
9. EXPLAIN TO YOURSELF
When studying, analyze the text and put it in your own words. Then, teach yourself.
After teaching yourself ask a simple question, “Do I understand this stuff?”
If you don’t understand, repeat the step step until you do. It is not by the number of pages you have read. What matters is the number of pages you actually understand. Life is not by duration but by donation.
10. SEEK HELP
If you have tried the above strategy and still find difficulty understanding Student.txt or the textbook; ask someone to put you through.
Until you take a step, you cannot get help. If you perspire, you will acquire. This is not time to expire. NEVER GIVE UP!
