4. DISCOVER YOUR LEARNING STYLE.

It's very important to take breaks while you're studying, especially if you're feeling tired or frustrated.When you take a break, make sure you get away from your desk or study space. A bit of physical – even just a walk around the block – can sometimes help you to look at a problem in a different way and could even help you to solve it.

6. TAKE BREAKS.

Everyone has their own idea about the best place and time to study. Whether it's your bedroom at night or the library after school, find a study space and a regular study time that works for you and stick with it.Set up your study space – Your study space should be quiet, comfortable and distraction-free. Decorate it with your favourite pictures or objects. Find your best time – Some people work better in the morning. Others work better at night. Work out which time suits you and plan to study then. Don't study much later than your usual bedtime.

1. PICK A PLACE AND TIME.

If you're stuck on something, or something just doesn't seem to make sense, you can always ask for help. Talk to your teachers or lecturers about the things you don't understand. Talk to your friends and fellow students too.

7. ASK FOR HELP.

When you're studying it helps to keep in mind your reasons for doing all this hard work, like a course or career you're working towards. It can help to have something in your study space to remind you of your goals. You could also decorate your study space with inspirational quotes or photos of people you admire and family members you want to make proud of you.

8. STAY MOTIVATED.

You’ll study better if you take care of yourself. Make sure you eat well and get enough sleep and physical exercise. Don't reward yourself with too many sugary or fatty snacks or push yourself to study late into the night. It’s also a good idea to make sure you drink lots of water when you’re studying.

10. LOOK AFTER YOURSELF.

If you study a little bit every day you'll be continually reviewing things in your mind. This helps you understand things. It also helps you avoid the stress of last-minute cramming.If you're finding it hard to find time to study, cut back on some (but not all!) of your other activities. Prioritising study might mean spending less time online, or it might mean cutting back on shifts at work, or giving weekend sport a miss for a while.

2. STUDY EVERYDAY.

It helps to have some plans in motion so you can make the most of your study time.<ul><li>Set alarms – Set alarms to remind you about your study plans. A regular reminder keeps your plans on track.</li><li>Use a wall planner  – Stick a calendar or wall planner up so you can see it whenever you're studying.</li><li>Make to-do lists – Lists break tasks down into manageable chunks. At the start of the day make a list of the things that you need to have done by the end of the day.</li><li>Set time limits – Before you start your study session, have a look at your to-do list and give yourself a set time to spend on each task. </li></ul>
