<p>As shown in the title, tell me what you think is the most important trait in studying?</p>
<p>knowing what you know and what you don’t know</p>
<p>Efficiency. Knowing how to play the game. Knowing how YOU learn.</p>
<p>Knowing when to go to sleep.
Seriously, sleeping is the most important tool in studying. I know this now reflecting back on my high school career.</p>
<p>Resisting procrastination… The bane of even the most gifted.</p>
<p>It’s a very deadly influence to succumb to, it turned my 20 problem Pset into an all nighter (well started at like 4, finished at 5…)</p>
<p>^i second applicannot.
if you dont know how you learn you will lose ‘efficiency’, like…sometimes i end up doing more work than i should have had to. im a flashcards kind of person, but i might study using a long workbook and problem sets…and then realize i wasted time. that kind of thing.</p>
<p>Cram like hell. It works so well for me before tests. I have this awesome ability to retain useless knowledge for approximately 2 hours, and then purge it from my brain. </p>
<p>But really, the most important “trait” is a good memory, I’d say.</p>
<p>concentration and memory.</p>
<p>Memory, and seeing the connection between topics</p>
<p>Talk to yourself while you study
for example </p>
<p>“Oh no wonder Indians didn’t like the Dawes Act! It tried assimilating them into American culture, that’s pretty messed up”</p>
<p>say what you want to memorize and put comments in it but say it out loud</p>
<p>Good sexual organs.</p>
<p>^yes! if you reward yoself with sex after studying then you learn a whole lot girrrrl!</p>
<p>^ Ahaha. </p>
<p>Selective studying (or knowing what material to study) is what I believe to be the most effective technique for school studying. As for a trait though, enjoying the subject would make studying it a whole lot more bearable.</p>

<p>strong motivation to learn, diligence, perseverance, and good attention span</p>
