Once you feel more refreshed, return to your studying. Some people find they study better in the morning whilst others prefer studying during evening hours. Regardless of what time you prefer studying, ensure you get a sufficient amount of sleep.
You should also find a suitable studying environment. Find a comfortable, quiet place, preferably without distractions such as a television or computer. If the weather is good and you enjoy the outdoors, you could take your books to the park or another open space.
If you know someone else studying for the Life in the UK Test, you could ask them to be your study partner so you could help each other learn. On the other hand, you may find having a study partner is distracting and counter-productive; do what works best for you. If you do choose to study with someone else, you can have discussions on different topics and bounce ideas off one another. As you read each section of the book, you can write down your own questions to ask your study partner and vice versa.
You can write down your own questions about each topic as you read them. Give them to your study buddy or a friend to ask you. You could write down answers separately or just check them in the study material. You will have to read and remember a lot of detailed information.
Good ways to do this are as follows:. Plan a review every few days or once a week. Before you learn anything new, read our notes again then go back to the questions at the end of each section and answer them.
You could write your notes in this guide or in a notebook or on cards. Reasons to make notes directly in this guide include:. If you can, put the cards in places where you will see them frequently — for example, on a pin board, a minor or your fridge.
When you have finished reading a section, put your Life in the UK Test book down. Ask yourself what the main points are and describe them in your own words. If you have a study buddy explain the topic to him or her. If you are studying alone it still helps to do this aloud if you can — pretend you are teaching someone else. Some people find it helpful to record what they learn on their phone, computer or voice recorder.
Use your imagination and creativity to help you remember. You can also try the techniques listed below to help you remember what you need to know. A mnemonic pronounced nem-onic is a memory aid; a technique for helping your brain to remember something. Mnemonics are commonly used for remembering lists, spellings, numbers or learning a new language. Mnemonics do not need to make sense. A common mnemonic is to use the first letter of each word you need to remember and use them to make up a sentence or story.
Humour helps to make a mnemonic more memorable. For example, the sentence below:. Or you could use more than one letter at the start of the word. This sentence reminds you of the names of the four UK capital cities:. The best mnemonics are ones that make you laugh or that you make up when you are learning.
This helps make strong connections in your brain. You can also use pictures in your mind to help you fix the information in your memory. So to remember Ed Loves Car Bells, you could imagine a man dressed in a tartan kilt with Ed written on his shut or his cap, looking lovingly at a car covered in bells. Yes, it is silly, but you will remember it. If you find it easier to remember what you see, you are a visual learner. Spider diagrams or mind maps should work for you.
