Studying Tips

Studying Tips

There are as many ways to study as there are quizzers. The following are some general suggestions.

Highlight all the quotes in your quizzing book even if you are not going to be a quoter.

Study in small doses. Three 10 minute sessions during the day work a lot better than trying to sit down and do 2 or 3 hours straight.

Try different ways of study. You can study the material. You can study questions. You can study by yourself. You can study in a group. Try several combinations and see what works best for you.

Here are some other suggestions on how to study:

  • Read it. Read a chapter straight through. Boring, maybe, but if you are going to memorize it, this is a good way to start.
  • Listen to a recording.
  • Write out the chapter while looking at the open book.
  • Read it out loud, by yourself, or in a group.
  • Let someone who has it memorized quote it to you.
  • Make up your own questions. Write down 1 or two per verse. Try to make up every possible question per verse. Some verses could have 15 or 20.
  • In a group, have your book open, and one make up a question and another answer.

Memorize It

Memorize for long term memory. Be able to say all of the material straight through.

Spend even 10 minutes every day, memorizing and reviewing. Reviewing is the key to long-term memory.
Day 1 – Learn verse or verses
Day 2 – Review day 1 verses and learn new verses
Day 3 – Review day 1 and 2 verses and learn new verses
Day 4 – Review days 1 to 3 verses and learn new verses
Day 5 – Review days 1 to 4 verses and learn new verses
Day 6 – Review all verses

As you learn verses from more chapters, you will find it helpful to review previous chapters.

Quote it to yourself while doing something else, in the shower, walking, riding in a car.
