About Study Skills and Techniques
GoConqr OriginalWhat this page covers
The resources here were made by GoConqr users and cover the habits behind good studying. Memory is one thread: the note 20 Study Hacks To Improve Your Memory and the Anki Tips mind map, which looks at deck organisation, cloze deletions and the 80/20 rule. Planning is another: P.O.W.E.R Learning walks through prepare, rethink, organise, evaluate and work, and the SQ3R Method map covers reading.
Where to start
If you are short on time, begin with Study Skills or Basic Study Skills for the overview. Then choose the skill you need most.
- Notes: Taking Notes compares text-based, summary-based and audio approaches.
- Time: the time management mind map defines the idea and lists the benefits of good planning.
- Writing: Essay Writing: My Essay Plan breaks an essay into introduction, main body and conclusion.
- Exams: A-Level Revision Tips, GCSE Revision Tips, NCEA Guide to Studying and the IB Exams map suit different courses.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a mind map first to see the whole shape of a skill. Then test yourself. The Year 9 Revision Quiz asks about revision time-chunks, breaks and cramming, so it shows quickly whether your habits need a change. After the quiz, return to the map that covers the questions you missed. The flashcard decks are handy for short sessions, and the Master student skills quiz gives a further check.
Where this unit sits
This unit belongs to the Learning and Study Skills strand of Personal and career development. It supports work in any other subject, because the same methods apply whatever you are revising. Teachers can use the slide sets, such as 10 good study habits every student should have, as ready-made starters for a class.
When you are ready, choose one skill from the list, work through its map and make a few flashcards of your own.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the Study Skills mind map or Basic Study Skills for a broad overview. If you want something practical straight away, the note 20 Study Hacks To Improve Your Memory gives quick ideas. Once you know which area needs work, move on to a more focused map.
What do the mind maps on this page cover?
They cover reading and learning methods, including SQ3R Method and Effective Reading, along with Taking Notes, time management, test-taking strategies and Anki Tips. Some are tied to exams, such as the IB Exams map. Others follow chapters on lectures, textbooks and learning styles.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you create your own quizzes, maps, flashcards and notes.
Which exams and levels do they suit?
The resources mention GCSE, A-level, IB, AP, NCEA, Leaving Cert and CAHSEE. Most are for secondary school students or general learners, and a smaller share is aimed at university students. Check the title of each resource to see whether it matches your course.
Is there a quiz to check my revision habits?
Yes. The Year 9 Revision Quiz asks about time-chunks, breaks and cramming. The Managing better your time quiz looks at good and bad habits, and the Study Skills quiz covers the wider topic. Try one, then review the matching mind map.
What if I can't find the skill I need?
Browse the notes, slide sets and flashcard decks, since some topics appear in one format and not another. Focus, procrastination, reading and note-taking each have several resources. You can also build your own map or flashcards from what you find.
