Psychologists have been studying which study

habits work best for over a century. Almost
any subject can benefit from a few pointers.
Don't just cram, for example! Instead of just
rereading the material, put yourself to the test.
Other strategies are better suited to particular
sorts of classes. This can involve things like
employing graphs or varying your studies.
Here are ten suggestions for improving your
study habits.

1.- ORGANIZE YOUR

WORKSPACE FOR
STUDYING

Carrying about the school's mandatory

«pipeline,» aka an agenda book, was really
beneficial to me. Whether you utilize the
school's agenda book or purchase your own, I
strongly advise you to use it both in and out of
school. You can simply write what you need to
accomplish in your agenda, but I prefer to
make a list of everything I need to do on a
separate piece of paper.
3.- PUT YOUR PHONE IN A
SAFE PLACE.
2.- TAKING REGULAR
BREAKS IS IMPORTANT.
While you may believe that studying for as
many hours as possible is the greatest
strategy, this can actually be
counterproductive. You wouldn't try to run 24
hours a day if you were training for a
marathon. Similarly, studies have indicated
that taking regular breaks is beneficial to long-
term memory retention.
Because everyone is different, choose a study
schedule that suits you. Start early in the
morning before taking a lunch break if you
study best in the morning. Alternatively, if
you're more productive at night, take a longer
break earlier in the day so you're ready to
unwind in the evening.

If you're having trouble with this, consider

downloading an app like Forest, which allows
you to plant a tiny tree, set a timer, and labor
until the tree has completely grown. Your tree
will die if you exit the Forest app before it has
fully grown, and you will feel terrible about it
because it was going to be such a cute tree.

FINALLY A VERY
IMPORTANT EXTRA TIP:

Make sure you get lots of water.

Remember that staying hydrated is critical for

your brain to function at its optimum. Make
sure you drink enough of water during your
revision and on exam day as well.

BEST OF LUCK!
