ARTICLE: TIPS TO STUDY SMART

 

Studying helps you get more and more familiar with the material until you actually know it, which can help you write better papers and perform better on tests. Creating a few daily study habits can help you succeed in your current coursework and any classes that come after it. Studying doesn't just help you pass a class. It also helps you pass it with confidence.  If you go into an exam feeling sure that you know the material, you won't be as anxious about it as you would if you stayed up all night attempting to cram the information into your brain. Studying also builds your confidence. Seeing positive results of studying reflected in your grades is an achievement to celebrate, and it’ll boost your confidence. If you make studying a regular part of your routine, you'll find that you have more time for those extracurricular activities.










1) AVOID SKIP CLASS 

§  If you continually skip class, your grade will likely continue to lower throughout the semester. 

§  Skipping class becomes a slippery slope that can become a seriously bad habit. 

§  You’ll have to try to anticipate what was covered in class, studying more material than necessary because you weren't in class that day to hear what was actually necessary. 

§  By skipping class, you’ve really created a ton of additional work for yourself. 

§  When you skip class, you need to worry about things like what you missed that day.

§  Skipping classes will really start to limit your social opportunities, especially since class activities often call for studying with partners or group discussions. 










2) DO DAILY REVISION  

If done correctly it will help increase your confidence and reduce anxiety.  
It helps you to remember facts, figures, topics and methodologies that you have covered some                time ago.  
If done correctly it will help increase your confidence and reduce anxiety.  
This implies that you have read and understood your study material at least once prior to starting            revision make notes as you revise.  
Make further summaries of the notes.  
Review these notes and summaries regularly.  
Read them out loud and test yourself on each area you cover.  
Make use of past exam papers.  
Practice answering the questions previously asked. 









3) FORM A STUDY GROUP  
 
There is no argument that taking time to read, learn, and study a subject or theory will lead to a               greater understanding of that particular subject.  
Actively engaging with the material, learning together, and genuinely knowing a subject, students          can feel empowered and motivated to do well in the classroom as a group. 
Students can hear different perspectives on the subject and therefore understand it from more than          position.  
This is useful in real-world settings where more than one solution or opinion bolsters creative and          analytical thinking.  
A study group can help solidify and clarify course materials, leading to more promising classroom          experiences, and potentially a better GPA.  
By understanding the subject and feeling motivated, students may feel more willing to do better in          class, on tests, and on assignments









4) MEMORISE  
 
Memorization was an important part of education at all levels.  
Memorizing relevant facts in a meaningful context greatly enhances understanding.  
The hard work of memorization pays off by enhancing memory itself, as well as the ability to                learn new information.  
Memorization increases the size and improves the function of memory-related brain structures.  
Memorization enhances the neurological flexibility of the brain referred to as neural plasticity.  
Memorization exercises more extensive sections of the brain than more passive activities such as            reading.  
Memorization demands the focus of attention and thus enhances the ability to concentrate in                  general.
