Study tips for Read & Write Learners

  • Take loads of notes in class

    The act of taking notes in class will help cement the ideas and facts you’re learning about, and provide you with a super useful resource to use when it comes to exam study.

    Read & Write Learners need as many written notes as possible. Now that you’re preparing for exams, use the notes you took in class to write your study notes.

  • Re-write study notes

    Re-writing study notes during exam study might sound like a double-up, but do it in short form and you’ll be amazed at well it helps to consolidate everything in your notes. It’s the cherry on top to making sure you really know your stuff just before an exam.

  • Keep class handouts

    Read & Write Learners study well from handouts. Keep track of all the materials your teachers give you and use them when you study.

  • Use bullet point lists

    Read & Write Learners learn well when they condense information into small, easily digestible bits. Bullet point lists are a really easy way to put down a lot of information in one easy-to-read format.

  • Turn diagrams and charts into words

    Some Read & Write Learners don’t learn particularly well through diagrams, so add subheadings and notes to important diagrams to help you remember them. You will be more likely to remember your own definitions and explanations of what the diagram is about.
