Tips and tricks for studying

Post Reply New Topic

Hello, since its most likely only a very small segment that read my "saying hi" post a few days ago (man that forum is really active!) im going to start by recapping:
10 years ago i was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder
4 days ago this diagnosis was changed to aspergers syndrome and ADHD (and possibly also borderline, yay!).

Im currently halfway through a bachelors degree in electrical engineering, and struggling because i have a very hard time commiting what i study to memory. Some things stick but most just seem to float away immediatly again, especially in classes im forced to take but have no interest in.
Generally im very picture oriented memory wise.

So i was wondering if anyone had any tips on how you got through your study days? Or just general tools for studying and memorizing information?

I realize that just because it works for you there is no gurantee it will work for me as well, but i sorta feel like i got the blanket swept out under my feet 4 days ago and id really like to capitalize on this diagnosis by trying to emulate (blatantly steal) others successes!

Do you have Nonverbal Learning Disability? That's fairly common in Aspies. I have it and have struggled massively in courses that had lots of fill-in-the-blank/essay questions. Something that's helped me sometimes (although this usually only works with multiple choice questions) is to think of something relating to the correct answer. For example, in my Administration of Justice class, we have to know about the In re Winship case, which deals with proof beyond a reasonable doubt. So I came up with "I DOUBT that you WON that SHIP." That strategy has helped me a lot. I've tried my hardest to avoid classes that give fill-in-the-blanks and essays after my NVLD diagnosis last year.

I've just found myself doing a lot of posters with illustrations and mind-maps. Basically trying to make things as visual as possible.

I'm doing Occupational Therapy btw. So in our anatomy and physiology module I've pretty much done a poster for each small topic so; muscles of the forearm, rotator cuff muscles, muscles of the lower leg etc. Our other module which is about OT theory the plan is to do a poster on each concept/module. I say the plan is, because unfortunately this module is one that I am far less interested and motivated in. Outside of lectures, today is the first day since starting in September that I'm sitting down to do some work on the module, and that's only because I was unable to participate in a group task of creating a video explaining a particular OT model. Plus I'm getting a bit anxious that I'll be going on placement in January and not really have a clue.
