Don't wait until last minute to study for advancement
Procrastinating may result in less time to double check
WASHINGTON (NES) — You can't
procrastinate any longer. It's
time to pick up your rate train-
ing manual and transfer as much
information as possible into
your brain. Here are some tips
that will make your studying as
productive as possible:
•Plan a study schedule. It's
good to set up the same time and
same place each day.
•Study when you are alert, not
physically tired.
•Take breaks to prevent one
long period of study.
•Study in a comfortable place
with a minimum of distractions.
Determine whether you require
silence or quiet background music
to aid concentration.
•Establisha distractions list.
If your mind starts to wander --
reminding you of other things
that need to be done -- make a
list of "things to do," and you
will free your mind for studying.
•Set up short-term study goals,
and reward yourself a rest break
after mastering two chapters.
• Read with a purpose. It helps
focus attention and aids recall.
•Scan the table of contents to
understand the organization and
scope of the text.
•Page through each chapter be-
fore reading, concentrating on
the introduction, headlines,
illustrations and photographs
and the summary.
•Formulate questions before
and as you read.
•Try to relate new material to
your knowledge and experience.
•Annotate your manual as you
study. Combining physical and
mental activities -- writing or
underlining important information
while reading -- prevents mono-
tony.
•Write key words or place as-
terisks in the margins for quick
reference later. Circle words
you don't understand to research
later. Use lines or arrows to
group related information.
Test your memory
•Use whatever means it requires
to remember difficult concepts
or long lists. For instance,
form words or acronyms to remem-
ber the first letters or items
in a list.
Some chapters in your manual
will cover areas that are unre-
lated to your current assignment;
others will deal with procedures
you perform regularly. It's a
good idea to read even the fa-
miliar material throughly be-
cause sometimes your day-to-day
work procedure varies from what
the manual prescribes.
Rate training manuals are a-
vailable from your educational
