instead , revise loosely for around a week , renewing your memory every day really helps with revision

focus on the process , not the result !! if you didn’t do well , find out why and do better next time 

go to lessons and arrive on time

take notes you can memorise well

pay attention in the lesson

ask for help if needed

don’t gossip and help others instead

ask questions and take part

don’t look at the clock / your watch

not only is there a high chance of a repeated question , you can also train yourself and understand the standard of how hard the test will be

ideally do your work a few days before it’s due or the day you get it , such that you don’t stress about it later

use a planner / notebook to keep track of what’s due and when

do all your homework with effort , as it’s set with the reason to help you

tidy your materials

st...

break down the material !! what do you need to study for ??

gather all those subject materials and rearrange them !

studying doesn’t last forever and hard work always brings good outcome !!

the more the merrier ! more people studying will also affect your brain and boost its competency

write everything you need to know on a piece of paper , and only focus on that while studying

it’s way more effective to write your notes by hand rather than typing it out , it gives you a deeper understanding and allows you to memorise it better

set a grade goal and work towards it , it’s usually easier and more efficient

if one study tactic works , then it’s for you . continue using that system for you to revise better

organise everything you need to know in mind-maps . it’s always easier to understand with mind-maps !

test your own knowledge by asking a few questions made up by you / from the textbooks of your revision

allow yourself to use your phone / game after you worked hard , it’ll feel like you actually have something to work to

reread notes written that day when you get home - it only takes 10 mins

make sure you ate breakfast

stay organised ( eg . pack your bag the night before , do your homework early )

don’t completely focus on studies , do things that you enjoy yourself

do 45 mins of work and ...

sleep allows your brain to rest and process everything , such that what you’ve revised for will be properly digested

there’s many ways to exercise your brain for your studying to become more efficient : going on a run / working-out / doing your hobbies / talking with someone…

doing this will have to avoid you from getting up and moving around , which may divert your concentration

it helps you remember things better as the colour is sharper

discovering why you procrastinate - phone addiction / unwilling to study ?

avoid procrastinating by stopping the reason you procrastinate

create a study routine [ go to instagram for inspo ] - decide what you’re going to do for the day like what subjects you study / when you study / when you eat or wake up

-find out which method works best for you : eg . the pomodoro technique , work for 25 mins and with 5 mins of break in be...

if you don’t feel motivational do something else to boost your mood , doesn’t work you up to study but at least makes you feel better .

set your study space in a quiet environment to avoid any distractions / unwanted noise , it allows you to focus on your studies and to absorb everything better . a suggested work place is the library

some people study fast and some need time , it’s really alright regardless of your pace . be true and honest to yourself and follow your own pace

it helps you to understand more listening to a person explaining the topic out loud

have short study sessions and don’t just study for the entire day ! your brain needs to rest and time to process everything

phones can be a huge distraction therefore silence it and check it when you take your break
