Studying Techniques

USING DIFFERENT READING STRATEGIES

There are different exams about different subjects and one of the best ways to study is by reading, but for some people, some subjects are easier than others; for the easy subjects, the persons should read the material just for refreshing the theme in his/her mind but for the difficult subjects the person should read it slowly and calm for better understanding, and like that the person may understand both subjects and be prepared for his/her exam.

MOTIVATION-TYPES OF MOTIVATION

One of the most important things for studying is motivation, without it, there´s like no reason for studying, it could be to achieve a goal or maybe a material prize, this helps you to finish your tasks or finishing studying.

There are 2 types of motivation:

The 1st is extrinsic motivation: This is doing a task for all of the rewards you can receive for it like getting money or a good job etc.

The 2nd is intrinsic motivation: This is the desire to perform a task for the intangible rewards that a person receives from himself/herself like the satisfaction of completing a task, the joy of achieving a goal, etc.

The intrinsic motivation may not offer the same physical rewards like in extrinsic motivation (like money), but it can still be a powerful motivational for some persons.
