How do you guys study??

[moshi]

A friend of mind says for theory-based subjects (that requires a fair bit of reading) he pretty much reads the material out loud. Well, not loud really, just he just whispers the words and phrases. Out of curiostiy does anybody else do this? Or do most people just read quietly in their heads?

I tried doing that for my textbook/notes but somehow I adopt a pompous british accent so I end up laughing at myself and being distracted. Now I just read quietly in my head because even though I still sound equally ridiculous, I don't notice it as much.

I generally study by writing and then summarising and then writing and then a bit of reading and then more writing. But I write really fast with heaps of acronyms, some I forgot the meaning of, which makes my notes practically illegible so I rarely read over them.

haha same, I end up being distracted by my voice too! Although sometimes reading aloud does help - particularly with memorising my detailed study this year, just repeating it in chunks over and over really helped. I also prefer to type out unit summaries than make handwritten ones, then use a combination of copying out and reading aloud to memorise.

For theory subjects I only make notes to help with the memorizing process...in other words I never read over them again. I find it quite useless. I'd rather do practice exams and questions with the time spent reading over again out loud.

For english I read around 5 pages of my text(s) a night, which helps in memorizing quotes and being more familiar with the texts. I prob should've written more practice essays but I hate them with a passion so i always procrastinated when it was essay time.
