study tip # 01: question / answer reflex
DESCRIPTION
Studying For Exams Made Simple is an account of the exact steps taken by a university student to get A's in exams. No big deal unless you consider that before he used these 6 steps he was failing exams. He actually ended up getting the university prize, a scholarship, a degree with honors, and a top position in a national company... all because he changed the way he studied for exams. Keep studying the same way and you'll keep getting the same results.TRANSCRIPT

The‘Question / Answer Reflex’... And How It Can Help In Your
Exams
![Page 3: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Have you ever touched a hot iron and then pulled your
hand away really quickly to avoid getting burned?
![Page 4: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Did you have to think to yourself...
“Gee, this iron is hot, I better not touch it any
longer because it’ll probably cause a really bad burn on
my hand!”
![Page 5: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The answer is probably NO!You wouldn’t have any time to think about what you
should do... and pulling your hand away is automatic.
![Page 6: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
It’s what we call a...“reflex” action.
It doesn’t involve much thinking because by the time you think about it...
it’s too late!
![Page 7: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Let’s lighten up a little and investigate another situation
where reflexes are important but a little thinking is involved.
![Page 8: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
If you’ve ever played tennis, or most other ball sports,
you’ll know it’s important to think quickly because the ball can move very fast.
![Page 9: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
However... if you just stand there and think for too long, the moment is over, the ball moves past you, and you’ve
lost the point...the reflex was too slow.
![Page 10: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The reason you practice so much in tennis, or any other
sport, is to train your reflexes to the point where
you almost don’t have to think at all!
![Page 11: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
When your opponent serves a ball to you at over 100
kph you react in a millisecond and hit the ball
back for a winner.
![Page 12: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Your brain has virtually no time to think about what
you’ll do...it happens automatically.
![Page 13: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Now you’re probably saying...“what does this have to do with getting an ‘A’ in my
exams?”
![Page 14: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Let me explain...Imagine when someone hits a ball to you in a game of tennis... it’s like being asked
a question in the exam.
![Page 15: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Returning the ball... or answering the exam
question... is called a response.
![Page 16: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What do we normally call the combination of a
stimulus and a response?
![Page 17: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
It’s called a...REFLEX
![Page 18: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
A reflex is the response to a stimulus.
![Page 19: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
In the example of the hot iron, the incredible heat is
the stimulus...and pulling your hand away
really quickly is the response.
![Page 20: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
In this case the reflex doesn’t have to be trained at
all because the body is already programmed to
react and protect itself from injury.
![Page 21: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Some reflexes however have to be learned before they
become automatic
![Page 22: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
That’s why we practice our sports so much...
to train our reflexes to minimize the amount of thinking we have to do...
there’s so little time to think!
![Page 23: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Now in exams...exactly the same situation
exists...
![Page 24: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
You have a limited time (several hours) to respond (give answers) to lots of stimuli (exam questions)
![Page 25: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
I invented the term...“question / answer reflex”to describe this situation.
![Page 26: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Once again as in our previous examples...
if you take too long to respond to the stimulus
(answer the question) then you’ll probably fail at what
you’re doing.
![Page 27: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Wouldn’t it be a good idea to train the “question / answer reflex” so you could react much faster in the exam?
![Page 28: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Whenever a question is asked... you react at lightning
speed with the answer...almost like touching a hot iron and pulling your hand
away!
![Page 29: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
As soon as a question is fired at you in the exam...
your mental reflexes are so well trained that your
answer responds immediately!
![Page 30: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
You hardly even have to think...
all the thinking has already been done in your pre-exam training and your answer is
virtually automatic!
![Page 31: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Doesn’t it also make sense if information in exams is
expected to “come out” in a question / answer format...
that it should “go in” in much the same way?
![Page 32: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Would you train for a tennis match by hitting a baseball
with a bat?
![Page 33: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Then why do students train for exams by highlighting and underlining notes?
![Page 34: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Doesn’t it make more sense to train for exams using the same system you use in the
exam?ie questions and answers.
![Page 35: Study Tip # 01: Question / Answer Reflex](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555defa7d8b42a3f618b46a2/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Now go and work on your...“question / answer reflexes”
