One of the biggest
challenges for GED students is finding time to study, or developing a daily
study routine, especially when students manage their own self-guided program to
get ready for the GED test. For adult students who
attend GED classes regularly, studying is often easier. Classes help create a
routine, and involve learning and applying the material candidates need to know
to earn the General Education Development credential. Or, students in class find
it easier to get into a study routine because they're preparing for classes or
completing assignments. But sometimes, even GED students who attend classes need
help developing study habits and a study routine. Often students who haven't
succeeded in classrooms find class learning boring or even tedious. The best study routine
involves daily study, especially if the knowledge learned is new. Using new
knowledge every day is the key to owning it; and this learning method is
completely different from memorization. Whether students are in a classroom,
using an online GED program or managing their own GED preparation, daily study
works. So how do busy adults
with lots of job and family obligations find time to study? Here are some
10-minute study tips that have proven successful for PassGED students: 1. Study a problem or
read a book, newspaper or magazine first thing in the morning, even if you only
have 10 minutes. You can use a problem from a GED practice test or a short
section from your GED test prep materials. Or, you might choose a short passage
such as a newspaper article, editorial or a magazine insight piece. Don't worry
about finishing the problem or passage; just concentrating on something for 10
minutes is the trick. 2. During the day,
spend 10 minutes thinking about what you read or studied in the morning. If it's
something you read, think about the words and the feelings those words create.
What do they really mean? Consider how the passage or words apply to something
else, or another situation. If it's a math problem, try writing it down and
working on it in different ways. Don't worry if you can't remember the problem
or words exactly. The key is to use the new knowledge soon after it's learned;
just get into the mind of the problem or the words for 10 minutes. 3. Late in the day,
spend 5 minutes really thinking about what you read or studied again, and you'll
suddenly see and understand the knowledge more clearly. Make sure you spend a
minute or two thinking about why it's clear -- this is key! 4. At the end of the
day, spend 5 minutes reviewing or reworking the problem, and determine what you
learned from the study activity. Then tell yourself how smart you are, how much
you accomplished and give yourself a reward. At day's end, you’ve
accomplished 30 minutes of concentrated study, despite a busy schedule and
life's demands. But more important, the time spent isn't just about studying --
it's about learning. You really learn since using knowledge means owning
knowledge. And that's what it takes to pass the GED test. Read These Other Great GED Articles So You Can Pass the GED!
