How to study effectively

You can help yourself greatly in preparing for the final exams by following some important tips.No one likes examinations but there is no need to be afraid of them if you prepare yourself well.The seeds for success are sown long before you enter the examination room. The key thing is to be well prepared. It is worth remembering. 

Here are some tips on how to  study effectively:

1. READ YOUR BOOKS DAILY 



Read through your books on a daily basis and feel confident that you have understood the main content of the subject.When reading, underline or highlight the key points. Then make notes on what you have read.Writing and working in this way greatly enhances your understanding of a topic.

2.  REVISION 

Revision is not something that is only confined to the last week or so before an examination.  So

'MAKE STUDY A HABIT;MAKE REVISION A HABIT '

3 . MANAGE YOUR TIME

Managing your time in an effective way is crucial. Remember -

'IT IS NOT HOW MUCH TIME YOU HAVE BUT HOW YOU MANAGE IT'

There should be regular periods in the week when you have spare blocks of time that you can devote to studying. If it is only 1 hour, if this is spent effectively, it will be of much value to you.

Remember :

'IT IS NOT HOW LONG YOU STUDY BUT HOW EFFECTIVE YOU ARE IN STUDYING '

4. PROPER PLACE

You should also try to have set palces where you can study, ideally free from distractions such as loud music, talking,television noise and so on. This may not be easy but try to have set times and places for your study and stick to a routine. Put yourself in a position where you can concentrate on your study.This is most unlikely to happen if your favourite television programme is on the same room.

5. SHORT SESSIONS

psychological studies have shown that our learning abilities decline sharply after around 50 minutes of intensive study. The attention span of most people is 40-60 minutes. After such a period, have a drink and a rest,  may be do something else before studying for a further period.
