Everyone hates exams, but these tips will help make them a little more bearable.
- To improve the quality of your notes, try and imagine you’re making them for someone else.
- If you’re trying to memorize diagrams, it really helps to draw them out.
- But when it comes to taking notes on a computer, it’s worth knowing that Times New Roman is the fastest font to read.
- Highlight your books and notes. Use different colors for heading, subheadings, etc. Highlighters are your friend.
- Give yourself a reward at certain intervals to help keep you motivated
- Exercise can help improve brain power, so try taking a walk before craking open the study books.
- Avoid studying in the same place every day. Changing your environment while learning helps you retain knowledge.
- Use post-it notes to write down anything you’re having difficulty with. That way you don’t have to flip through everything when you’re searching for information you desperately need.
- Scientific fact: Chewing gum actually helps boost concentration
- It may be tempting to stay up studying through the night, but a lack of sleep ruins memory.
- Take regular breaks, every twenty minutes or so.
- It’s surprising how much easier it is to remember something when you’ve said it aloud. Probably best not to try this one in a library though.
- Block distracting websites. There are actually apps that allows you to do this.
- Listen to ambient noise or unfamiliar music. Listening to your favourite music tends to have a negative effect on your productivity.
