Tips for Studying? Share Them Here!

@Barush never see the examination as a life and death situation. Its an opportunity to analyse yourself. So your preparation should be learning based and not for marks. Your regularity in every subject plays an important role. Keep calm and study according to your own time table and the ways in which you feel comfortable. In your time table take out time for rest and some sport. If you feel things are in long paragraphs and difficult to learn, prepare short notes in your own language. Try to visualise things while learning. This will help you in better understanding of a concept. When you have learnt a topic, explain it to yourself as you are explainin to a student who knows nothing. I hope this helps. All the best

So many really great advices here, I am not sure I can bring in something new .. Seems like no one mentioned yet modern technologies and Internet, all this can improve one's studying results very significantly. Udemy offers great courses, Youtube is full of helpful tutorials and there are thousands of great e-books one can download with simply one click. I wouldn't also neglect online tutors and different companies aimed to help you with your homework, including writing assignmants as the most demanded. By the way I just finished reading In-depth analysis of academic writing companies , and I recommend bookmarking it asap.

I would only add ' Simplicity Rocks ' so prepare your notes in your own simple words and reproduce them in the exam also in a simple and uncomplicated way. Thus you won't have to cram and won't cause you stress either

Secondly exam methodology is very important : use flow charts, graphs, give statistics, make your answer as interesting as you can.. Highlight key points and most importantly write legibly and neatly. !!!

Listening in class and doing your homework will make studying easier. If you've already done similar work or heard the teacher talk about what you're studying, it will be easier to remember. Plus your teacher might give you a review sheet to do or go over the format of the test, both of which will help you.

Go over your notes a couple times after you make them, even if there is no test coming up. This way, you'll be more likely to remember them and can spend less time studying right before the test. This helps if you have trouble concentrating because you can spend 15-25 minutes every night studying, which is much easier than spending several hours studying the night before the test.

If you already know something, don't continue to go over it. Focus on studying the things you don't know until you can remember them. Remember to test yourself to check what you've remembered.

Do not pull an all-nighter to study. Ever. You'll be way too tired to concentrate on the test and you'll make simple mistakes. Lack of sleep causes slower reaction times, so you'll have trouble finishing the test on time. It also puts a huge strain on your mental health. Instead, you should start studying earlier, or if it's already getting late, just start studying as soon as possible and go to bed at a decent time.

In my first and second year of college, I would take all my notes by hand. Then I would go home and type them up. Then in a separate binder, rewrite them but summarized in my own words. It was incredibly helpful and tuti consuming.

In my final two years of college, I took all my notes via laptop (due to carpal tunnel). Then when we had tests coming up I would make practice tests with multiple choice, true and false and matching. I would keep two copies. One with the answers, one blank. I would wait a few hours or a day, then answer the blank one and compare. If I got something wrong, I would write wht in my own words. Save that copy separately, then repeat until I remembered. I ended with a great GPA and some of my teachers even ask for copies of my quizzes!

-Remember to relax and take some time off studying so you can rebuild the energy you need to study.
-It's okay if you're having an off day, instead of trying to force yourself to study and not take in the information, take some rest and try again the next day with new motivation.
-Don't be afraid to count on others, especially your fellow students. If you don't understand something ask your fellow students if they can help explain, or if you don't have enough time ask someone if they could share their revision
-Get enough sleep. It's not good to be tired and not fully focused when you have to take your exam. The information you studied gets processed while sleeping

Most of all, enjoy your time as a student. Remember to relax and live. The world does not revolve around studying and there is no shame in taking a bit longer to complete your goals.

1. I take mock exams, I make them after I study, then answer them after a few hours. I check for some mistakes, then correct them or re learn them entirely then take another mock test again. Now with different set of questions. I also don't put formulas, so my brain will be trained to memorize or familiarize them.

2. I personally don't use colored stuff, like highlighters or underlining with different colored ballpens. Experiment with this, it might work for you :))

3. Read aloud

4. Take notes, but do them at least 2-3 weeks before exams :)) that way you will have time to write, condense it, and retain it :))

Through trial and error I have found that studying at home doesn't get the best results. I tend to do better when I study at a school or when I study at a library as oposed to when I study at home: in my room, at the table, or in the living-room. I also find that simply reading the textbook or my notes isn't as effective as rewriting my notes, doing flash-cards, and/or teaching someone else in regards to the information I have learned and am currently studying. When you study make sure that you stay organized so that your not simply wasting time and make sure that you have an idea of what your going to study before you actually begin studying.

These simple tips can help boost your grade immensly and can make study-time much more effective. I hope they help you as much as they helped me. Oh... and have fun studying! :)
