By TanviSowgandika

1)MAINTAIN A PROPER SLEEP ROUTINE :

During sleep human mind and body rest completely to regain energy and strength by completing the daily metabolism cycle. A good sleep of 8 hours is recommended by health experts.Some people may prefer to study late at night, some may prefer early in the morning, so check which time of the day suits best, schedule and maintain a proper sleep routine.

2)READ ENTIRETY & MAKE BRIEF NOTES :

Thorough reading is a must for learning any subject entirely. Read and crosscheck with other information from different authors and sources. Make brief notes while studying .

3)ORGANISE THE STUDY SPACE :

We are able to focus and study at our best when we are in a pleasant and comfortable environment. Find the best spot in the house, hostel or room where there is better light, fresh air and is silent. Spaces with least distraction are the most appropriate space for quality studying. De-clutter the space from unnecessary items as much as possible to avoid distractions. Turn off the mobile phone or keep in flight mode while studying.

4)TAKE REGULAR BREAKS:

Human brain functions the best when it is given breaks periodically. Researchers have proven that studying for short intervals with regular breaks are more efficient than doing it for long hours without breaks. Forcing ourselves to study when our mind is sleepy or not active can only make it more exhausted. So, take breaks regularly, go for a brief walk, close your eyes or look away in distance to rest the eyes and the mind.

5) FOCUS ON UNDERSTANDING:

Memorizing means finding ways to remember and repeat facts. Understanding goes a little deeper, and means you can apply new knowledge to various scenarios and know how it relates to other concepts. College exams often test understanding, not just memorization.

6) PACE YOURSELF

Cramming in all your studying during finals week can lead to burnout and anxiety. Split the material into topics and review in stages to fully absorb information into real understanding . The night before, write out a few key ideas to look over before the exam.

7)VARY YOUR REVISION TECHNIQUES:
Organising a discussion group with some friends, to consider a particular issue or area.Doing practice papers and questions to test your understanding.

8) KNOW YOUR EXAM:

Make sure that you have looked at past papers.This will ensure that you are prepared for the type of exam you will be sitting, whether multiple choice, short answer or essay.Know what you are expected to do: for example, how many questions from each section will you have to answer? Of course, you still have to read the instructions on the paper itself, and make sure that they are the same, but this will help you to feel comfortable with what will be expected.

Hope it helped you all, in the next update we'll see some tips for start of new academic year followed by preparation tips for competitive exams.

Adios till next time!
