I'm just reflecting today on how do i learn things, so as to be as effective in studying for the exam as possible.
I'm doing online quiz for a subject that i can have multiple attempts, so i did it as a revision for that subject. Then i decided that i'm going to get full mark if not i will continue doing it until i got full mark. "No full mark, no stop". Interesting, after a few hours of looking thru the textbook and lecture notes a few times, as i didn't get full mark for the first attempt that i did. Some of the quiz i do it for 5 to 6 times. There is a trend, the first quiz will take me about 1 hour, second quiz also about 1 hour, third quiz about 40min, and the more i did, the faster i'm able to solve the quiz. But i must admit that some of the questions are repeated but on average out of 10 questions, maybe i can find 2 questions that i had the answer, the rest of the 8 questions, i will have to do it myself again. Expect for the 6 attempts, maybe i have 5 out of 10 questions with answered. But even so, the rest of the questions that i didn't have the answer, i will find it easier to do. Unless it is some reading that i must read from the textbook to get the answer, if not, i will be able to do it reasonably fast. I also realised as i'm doing the quiz, where is my weakest topic in that subject.
Now i finally understand one simple logic, "You learn best at the things that you keep trying and don't give up." I think if things are very simple and easy, i will not be able to truely learn it. Maybe i'm someone who learn things thru the hard way. Or is it because the number of times that i had try had made me able to understand and know where is the common mistake and to avoid it in the future?
I think my mind is going to sleep soon. It has been a long and fruitful day. Good night everyone.
