Quick tips for studying bio

I literally forgot how wild bio can be, and it’s literally only the second week of school. But it’s important to get your act together before the first exam, so here’s some habits I’ve been using to make sure I get what the professor is talking about!

Talk it out to yourself! Self-teaching is a powerful tool and it demonstrates complete mastery! And there’s room to make mistakes when talking to yourself as opposed to teaching/”lecturing” to a study group. 

Take notes the way you want– but definitely take notes! Textbook readings are super important since professors just gloss over the material and conveniently just mention the more “common sense” details, making it seem as though the content isn’t hard. Do outlines, brief bullet points– whatever! But write something so that you’re synthesizing info as you read as opposed to just reading mechanically.

Use lecture notes to guide you through textbook notes. This will certainly help you look at the big picture without getting lost in tiny details (and trust me, it’s hard to discern the key concepts when each sentence is factual!)

Draw diagrams for vocab that sounds like jargon! For me, that was all the different types of epithelial cells. Also for words I couldn’t pronounce, which is like a lot. Color them too if you want– it’s fun! I personally find it easier recalling images once my hand sorta has that muscle memory.

Flashcard apps for vocab! This is a given. There’s too much to memorize!

Once those flashcards are done, take notes on how those terms relate to each other! That way, you won’t get bogged down by writing vocabulary in between those key relationships!

Redo homework questions the week before the exam if you don’t have extra problem sets. That way, you won’t (hopefully) remember the answers when you first did the homework. 

Spend like half an hour a day reviewing chapter outlines. This will save you from mental breakdowns the day before the exam, and I think it’s pretty feasible.

Take breaks! Bio is DENSE and no one will blame you for getting overwhelmed.

I hope this helps! :D

Good luck with the Thing. You can do the Thing. You will do the Thing. You just have to do the Thing.

100 Days of Productivity #4 - Day 44/100

September 5, 2018

The second exam of my exam block has been completed - and it went better than I thought it was going to, so I’m really happy! I’ve got one and a half weeks left and the block will be over. Can’t wait to get through it!

Tomorrow is my ancient history exam, and so I stayed up to condense notes and memorise content again (with my mum, again). Hopefully all goes well! Time to get some sleep. Hope you all have a fantabulous day, see ya!

About the 100 Days of Productivity Challenge

Hello fellow nerds, hope you’re all doing well!

If you have been following my studyblr, you will know that my first ever 100 Days of Productivity has come to an end. Throughout the course of my participation in this challenge, I have gotten quite a few questions about what this challenge actually is. As I am starting a new 100 Days of Productivity on January 31st, I thought I’d write up an ‘About The 100 Days of Productivity Challenge’ post that covers what the challenge is, why it is awesome, and how to participate in the challenge.

WHAT IT IS

The 100 Days of Productivity Challenge is one of the most popular online productivity tags that motivates people to get things done! The challenge itself, put simply, is to try and accomplish at least one productive thing a day for 100 days. What is considered ‘productive’ is completely up to you. It can range from cleaning your desk to writing a 20-page research paper. Really, whatever you consider being productive can be classified as so. The challenge is super flexible, and I think that is why so many people love to participate in it!

WHY IT IS AWESOME

It establishes productive habits - 100 days is a pretty long time. Getting into the routine of doing one productive thing a day for this period of time really helps to develop productive habits that will improve your efficiency and organisation.

It is a great way to monitor the work you accomplish - The challenge offers a great way to keep track of what you achieve, whether you choose to document it online or on paper.

It motivates you to actually get things done - The expectation of completing one productive thing a day really does motivate you to actually do that one productive thing, and in the end, you achieve more than expected.

It provides you with motivation and support - This has to be one of my favourite aspects of the challenge. There are so many people who are apart of the online study community that participate in the 100dop challenge. We all encourage each other to achieve our best and support each other when we aren’t coping so well. This genuine support and encouragement makes being productive so much more enjoyable.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

It’s quite simple, really. You do one productive thing a day for 100 days, and you document it however you like. A lot of people, like myself, choose to post a 100 Days of Productivity Challenge Update each day on their online accounts with a photo and summary of what they achieved. I will be using #raf100dop to track my next 100 days, which I recommend you do as well! I’ll be sure to regularly look through the tag and support your posts!  

If you would rather not post your documentation of productivity for this challenge online, you can keep tabs on what you achieve on paper instead! I would recommend either keeping a study journal where you write down what you get done each day or use online printables (I really like @emmastudies printable) to document your productivity.

TO REMEMBER

You can start taking part in this challenge whenever you like! There is no start and end date. I will be starting on January 31st, the start of my new school year. You are more than welcome to do the same!

You don’t have to be a dedicated study blog or account to partake in this challenge. Everyone is encouraged to get involved!

This challenge is meant to motivate you to be productive, and to make being productive fun! Don’t feel too pressured to post every single day. If you can’t cope with consecutive posting, you don’t have to! Just do what you are comfortable with.

—

That’s all for now, I hope this post has been helpful! If you are confused or have any questions, please feel free to ask! And if you do decide to participate in the 100dop, make sure to tag #raf100dop so I can check out your posts!
