STUDY TIPS FOR STUDENTS
Have you ever seen bodybuilding videos of Dwayne Johnson in his workout video he shout many times a single word FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS. I am not going to tell you nothing new same keyword FOCUS - The Secret of Success.
- Track down the process, just briefly write on a stick note about what have you learnt on a topic and stick it somewhere and do this for six days of a week and daily just see them for a small amount of time. use of stopwatch during your study hours, This will indirectly help you in studying longer.
- Focus more on quality than quantity. How well you have studied is more important than how much you have studied. Knowing, understanding and retaining 4 of 6 chapters is better than mindlessly studying little bit of everything.
- Pay attention in class. We often don’t realize how important and beneficial it is to be attentive in class. When you will have heard everything in class, it will get stored in your mind. You'll know that it is there somewhere in your head. Listening in class is very helpful for making up answers in exams. If you are not sure of an answer, you may still remember something that the teacher had said and using it you can make up the answer and write at least something.
- When you do any written assignment, make sure you use your brain while doing it. Setting study goals boosts your motivation and reduces procrastination because
having that clear objective helps focus your mind and encourage you to get back
on track if you slip up. - Read everything. When you have been taught the chapter, read it on your own and read slowly while understanding everything and don't just read for the sake of it. You can also read it before it is taught in class. If you feel lazy to learn things (like me :p), 2-3 mindful readings help to retain quite a lot.
- Learn in points. Break paragraphs into points and then learn them. Remember the number of points and a keyword from each point, this will remind you of the entire point.
- Improve your grammar. Good grammar will help you express yourself better. We often know the answer but don't know how to write it clearly that is where good grammar, listening in class and thorough reading of chapters will help. We will find it easier to form sentences and write answers.
- Sleep : Have proper sleep of 6 to 7 hours, I was in a misconception that sleep less and utilize “those” for studying but that doesn’t work.This is for exams. If you are someone like me who can easily manage with little less than the required sleep, it is okay. But if not sleeping enough makes you forget things, makes you feel tired then please do sleep well, though it is always better if you don't stay up too late the night before an exam.
- Deadlines : Set personal deadlines for yourself. Make your own deadlines for completion of revision, assignments etc but be realistic and kind to yourself. Follow it as well.
- Self-study : No matter how many tuition you take it will never be enough unless you study on your own. It is best to be attentive in class after all they must be teaching the same thing in tuition as well, no? This will also save time as you will not need to attend tuitions.
- Notes : If you make notes, study them too. And make them neatly so that you want to see them again and again. Keep them brief. But also don't spend a lot of time in beautifying and decorating them, keep it simple, presentable and legible.
