How
do you study?
There are as
many ways to study as there are quizzers. Following
are some general suggestions.
Have a three
ring binder to put all your questions in.
Highlight
all the quotes in your study bible even if you are not going to be a quoter.
Then underline the FTV key words for that quote.
Study in
small doses. Three 10 minute
sessions during the day work a lot better for me than trying to sit down and do
2 or 3 hours straight.
Try
different ways of study. You can
study the material. You can study
questions. You can study by
yourself. You can study in a group.
You can study with your dog. Try several combinations and see what works best for you.
Suppose you
only want to study 2 hours a week. If
this is all you can do, my suggestion is to read the chapter 2 or 3 times and
then answer the study questions.
Suppose you
want to study 2 hours a day. If you
want to be a hard core quizzer and be one of the top scorers in the denomination
you will have to memorize the material. There
will probably be a number of quizzers this year who will be able to quote all of
the material.
Most of you
will not be able to study 2 hours a day. Here
are some other suggestions on how to study:
 | Read it.
Read
a chapter straight though. Boring,
but unless you are going to memorize it, this is a
good way to start.
|
|
Listen to a tape.
|
|
Write out the chapter while looking at an open book.
|
|
Read it out loud, by your self, or in a group.
|
|
Let someone who has it memorized quote it to you.
|
|
Make up your
own questions. Write down 1 or two per verse.
Try to make up every possible question per verse.
Some verses could have 15 or 20.
|
|
In a group, have your book open, and one make up a question and another
answer.
