Vocabulary building

Organize-Process-Test-Repeat

by Ken Tangen

Learning vocabulary is an essential skill for anyone wishing to succeed in higher education. You may not like facts but you have to conquer them. Sometimes there is no option to memorizing the bones of the body, the views of rationalists or the elements of the periodic table. Here is how to do it.

I introduced the OPT-Repeat model for learning vocabulary in Captain Psychology’s How to Learn Vocabulary: Biological Psychology. In this four step model, OPT means to organize, process and test. Repeat means that the process is recursive. You often have to go through the organize-process-test steps repeatedly.

You can use this model for learning any list of terms.
