Study with me: a 3.5 GPA STEM student
Hey lovelies!
Here is a small little study session. I do after classes pretty much every day.
Step 1: getting organized
📚 It is so important to make sure you have all your ducks in a row going into your study sessions so that way you know what you need to work on and what things are doing when
Step 2: reviewing lecture material and creating flashcards
📚 One thing I make sure I always do is to review my lecture material and create flashcards of Kevo Kappan concepts. That way I can continuously refer back to them as I study.
Step 3: Starting the Study Guide
📚 We are all told that the best way to memorize something is to write it down. That couldn’t be more true. I will either use paper or a whiteboard to rewrite concepts down and these create nice little steady guides for before an exam.
Step 4: Return to your material every day to every other day
📚 it is so important to make sure you keep on remaining your material either by going over your study guides or doing your flashcards. Consistency is key, especially in college.
Here is just a few things that I do as I am studying every day. I do have a more in-depth exam study session that I can post!
Let me know if you have questions! And feel free to steal my notes!

Studying effectively in STEM fields can often feel overwhelming due to the volume and complexity of the material involved. Building on the steps shared in the article, one helpful strategy is to break down large topics into smaller, manageable chunks and set specific goals for each study session. This makes the workload less daunting and helps maintain focus. Additionally, incorporating active recall methods, such as self-quizzing, can enhance retention and understanding beyond passive rereading. For instance, after reviewing lecture material and creating flashcards, regularly test yourself without looking at the answers to strengthen memory consolidation. Using tools like spaced repetition software can optimize the timing of these reviews for maximal effect. Organizing your study environment is another critical step. A clean and distraction-free space supports concentration and efficiency. Complementing written notes with visual aids like diagrams or mind maps can help in comprehending complex STEM concepts as well. Finally, maintaining a study routine with consistent daily or every-other-day sessions, as mentioned, nurtures long-term mastery. Balancing study with breaks prevents burnout, while group study sessions can offer fresh perspectives and motivation. The combination of organization, active learning techniques, and disciplined scheduling creates a robust framework for success in demanding STEM courses.
