The best tips for studying
If you didn’t do well on your last exam and another one is approaching fast, don’t worry; there’s a way not
to become a dropout. Far from suggesting you walk away from your problems, the latest study hacks have
put forward a number of study techniques for those who think they’ve tried everything. For instance, twenty
minutes of exercise before an exam is said to improve your brain’s performance. This offers the ideal
opportunity to get your body and marks in shape.
Another popular study hack is to read out loud instead of reading your study material to yourself.
Apparently you are fifty percent more likely to remember what you have read because your mind will store
both what it has seen and what it has heard. It might be wise to try this one out at home though. You don’t
want strangers to think that the pressure has become too much and you’ve lost it.
Studying notes on a computer, laptop or tablet has become increasingly popular in recent years, but there
are some guidelines that need to be followed in order to get the most out of this type of studying. All
documents should be changed to a font which is easy to read on a screen. Arial, Verdana and Calibri are three
such fonts which will optimise your reading efficiency. Also, don’t forget to download an application to
block Internet usage for a certain period of time, or at least block some of the most distracting sites,
especially social networking sites that ding with notifications every few minutes. The last thing that you
want is to be interrupted in full flow.
In the past, the ideal study environment was said to be the peace and quiet of your bedroom. Well, times
have changed. An important component of modern study methods is the soundtrack that will accompany
your material. Find a music genre that elevates your mood without distracting you. Strangely enough,
classical music has become popular with students because of the steady rhythm and lack of lyrics. Vary the
place that you choose to study as well. The mind will associate each location with the material that was
learnt there, which will make it easier to recall when needed.
So, you think you’ve done a pretty good job revising the material you were given? Time to prove it! Not
only to yourself, but also to family or friends. Find an audience that you are comfortable with and try to
teach them what you have revised. Welcome any questions and make a note of them because they might
just come up in the exam.
