Study Skills

Start with an overview

This Study Skills page brings together mind maps and flashcards made by GoConqr users. Begin with the mind map called Study Skills that introduces studying, including efficient and effective studying. It offers a starting point before you explore resources focused on particular approaches.

Another Study Skills mind map brings together learning styles, time management and reading strategies. Use its branches to choose an area you want to explore, rather than trying to take in the whole map at once.

Explore learning styles and techniques

The mind map on learning styles includes the VARK model and visual, auditory, reading and writing, and kinesthetic approaches. The flashcard deck on learning and studying styles also covers visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning, alongside learning theories. Look at the map first for an overview, then use the cards to review the ideas it introduces.

For practical techniques, explore the mind map on learning to learn. It includes reading, practice, making connections and using mnemonics. You can compare those ideas with the Study Skills map that covers reading and writing skills as well as time management.

Follow a study topic

Comprehensive Learning includes time management, collaborative assignments and setting realistic goals. It offers another route through the collection if you want to focus on planning your study. The map on mental maps describes them as a way to organize information visually and also lists approaches such as lectures, reading and group discussion.

Use the page within its unit

Study Skills is a section of Learning Strategies and Learning Styles in Personal and career development. Use this collection to explore ideas within that unit. The page lists mind maps and flashcards rather than quizzes, so you can move between a visual overview and cards when reviewing a topic. Choose a resource and follow the ideas that are useful to you.
