Study Tip: They say "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb."  Odds are we have several more snow days ahead of us.  Make good use of this time by firming up your studying of the book of Acts!

REMINDER: Last night of Ephesians review

Tonight is our last night of reviewing Ephesians, which means this is your last chance to lock in your studying about this very important book.  Be sure to take every chance to commit to memory and learn about one of Paul's great epistles.

Study Tip: It was a long holiday break, but now we're back in the swing of things with weekly practices and a regular schedule.  Don't struggle trying to figure out a new way of doing things, but focus on re-establishing the habits and schedule you had before the holidays.  At the very least, be sure to read the chapter(s) twice every day.

THIS WEEK: Review Galatians, Chapters1- 6

This week (October 29 thru November 4), please review Galatians, Chapters 1 through 6.

If you want to read the chapter online, click here.

Click here to listen to audio of the chapter.

Study Tip: Are you a morning person or a night owl? Do you find yourself happiest and most focused early in the day, in the middle of it, or late at night when everyone else had gone to bed? Pay attention to these patterns in yourself, and try to study accordingly. If you are a morning person, consider getting up a half hour earlier and studying before school. If you are a night owl, you may want to make your studying the last thing you do before bed. Knowing your own rhythms can be of great help when trying to put God's word into your mind and heart.

THIS WEEK: Review all Chapters of Acts

This week (April 15 thru April 18), please review all chapters of Acts.

This is it!  Districts is in 3 days where we will quiz on all chapters of Acts.  Please check and make sure you have all the study materials you need.  Every things can be found here:  http://quizpad.blogspot.com/search/label/acts

If you are missing anything that you need, please contact the coaches.

Study Tip: At this late stage, you have two choices to excel:  (1) cram, cram, cram and try to learn as much material as possible in the few days left, or (2) pick something you are good at and focus on that for the next few days.  We generally recommend #2.  Choose one thing and be the expert - FTVs, References, Multiple Part Answers, Short Answers, etc.

Upcoming Events:

- April 17-18 - Districts Quiz Meet in Dallas, PA

Trumbull quizzers are officially invited to tonight's practice at Beacon Hill Church in Monroe, CT at 6:30 PM.  Your own practice on Wednesday was cancelled, but you can join us for some fun time.

Study Tip:  Next Wednesday is Christmas Eve and the Wednesday after that is New Years Eve.  That is three whole weeks without a practice, so it may be tempting to lose yourself in holiday cheer and forget all about Bible Quizzing.  DON'T DO IT!  Christmas is the time we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the very man that the apostles are spending all of Acts talking about.  Set aside some time each day over the next two weeks to review, and you'll find your Christmas season substantially enhanced.

FINISH THE VERSE: Short & Easy Options!

If you've been avoiding "Finish the Verse" questions because of their difficulty, a review week is your chance to try them out!  Here is a list of the shortest and easiest FTVs from Acts 1-11.  Pick one or pick a few.  You never know when they may make the difference in an important quiz.

THIS WEEK: Review Acts, Chapters 1-11

• Acts 2
• Acts 3
• Acts 4
• Acts 5
• Acts 6
• Acts 7
• Acts 8
• Acts 9
• Acts 10
• Acts 11

Study Tip: It's tempting to use review weeks to sit back and watch TV instead of studying the old material.  But these are key opportunities to solidify your knowledge of sections on which you are weak.  Take a moment to read thru the chapters and identify areas of weakness.  Then find someone to sit with and quiz through those rough spots.

Upcoming Events:

Study Tip:  This is the last week to study.  If you don't know the material by now, you've got a long row to hoe before next Saturday.  So, let's keep this simple.  If you haven't yet, pull out the Finish-The-Verse list and start studying.  Don't worry about getting them word-perfect if memorization isn't your thing.  But these are key verses which will show up repeatedly in the quizzes, and which will have a huge impact on your life afterwards if you put them into your heart.  Invest wisely, my friends.

Study Tip:  We're almost at the end of the Bible Quizzing season, so it may be tempting to coast on what you already know.  But don't let that impulse win!  Districts is only a few weeks away, and even the end-of-the-year quiz tends to focus mostly on the last few chapters.  Take the time and keep on task, and learn all you can.

Upcoming Events:
- Districts in Dallas, PA - March 28-29

STUDY TIPS: Learning the Material

It's review time.  Of course, it is best to have already done your best studying, but if there are still areas where you're feeling weak in Romans or James, here are some tips on studying and reviewing.

According to Dr. Higbee, the study skills you should be using are:

• Reduce Interference 

• Space It Out 

• Use Whole and Part Learning 

• Recite It 

• Use a Study System

Reminder:  There is no practice next Wednesday for New Years Day.

Study Tip:  Christmas is behind us and New Years is before us.  This is a good time to pause and reflect on how you have done as a Bible Quizzer in 2013.  What chapters are you strong on?  What chapters are you weak on?  Are you best at keywords, references, finish-the-verse questions? Do you need to set aside more time each week, or are you overdoing it and burning out?  Reflection and honesty can only help you make the changes you need in 2014 to be a better Bible quizzer and a better person, in general!
