Rougemont School's study skills site.

Welcome to your study skills site. There will be lots of web links on here to help you to revise.

What type of learner are you?

Do you remember most of the things you see?

Do you remember most of the things you hear?

Do you remember most of the things you have done?


Most people are a mixture of all three types but you will have a dominant type. Once you have identified your type it should help you to adjust your methods to make your revision more effective.




Visual Learners

You need to 'see' your revision notes. You tend to think in pictures so you need visual stimulai such as mind maps and posters to help you learn!

Draw mind maps for each topic in each subject. Because you have done this it will help you to remember the information you need to know!

Also see the advice for kinesthetic learners.


Audible learners

You tend to remember the things you hear. You will study effectively if you hear your revision - therefore you should work in a group where you all talk about a subject.

Alternatively you could read your notes aloud to yourself; get a friend or family member to read your notes to you or, alternatively you could, (if your teachers agree) tape your lessons!


Kinesthetic Learners

The advice for visual learners also suits you - make mind maps and posters of your revision notes. Make collages of the things you need to learn.

Write post it notes and stick them on things in your house so you are reading them as you go around the house!

This method works very well for learning the names of things in a foreign language.
