Simple tips for students to study well


Everyone knows the usual tips and tricks to studying, but sometimes you may think that you’re out of luck if they don’t work for you. Not everyone is the same, which means that people learn differently. Why not give these tips a try?

Treat Yourself

Rewards are well. If you give yourself something to look forward to like, Give 5 minute walk after each chapter, you’ll likely work harder towards your goal.

Study Alone 

Whether deciding to study alone or with a group is helpful is relative and depends on both the group and the individual. You need to determine whether or not the group is productive and how you study best to decide if this tip is for you.

Review The Readings After Class

They say to give your brain a break, but if you review right after class discussions, you might connect the dots more so than reading alone.

Study In Bed 

If it’s the last thing you see before you go to bed and the first thing you see as you get up, it’ll likely soak in. No guarantees here, but it’s definitely worth a try.

Munch During Exams

Ever been in an exam and your stomach is growling? That’s the absolute worst. It can completely ruin all focus and distract you for the entire exam. 

Go Somewhere New

 A change of scenery can do wonders! Not to mention, sitting at the library without any distractions in front of you doesn’t hurt, either.

Take Frequent Breaks

 Newsflash, you’re only human. You need to take breaks every so often to let your brain breathe, so to speak.

Teach Others

 They say you learn more by teaching others. This is likely because you’re actually explaining concepts versus memorizing them. If you can teach it, you likely know your stuff.

Rewrite Again

You can certainly learn through writing, over and over again. Repetitive writing can help you soak up the concepts  think of those cartoon characters writing, “I will not talk out of turn” 500 times on the blackboard.

Understand Versus Memorize

When you truly understand a concept, memorization naturally follows. Try to understand the core of what you’re learning and build upon that, versus memorizing for each test and forgetting afterwards. This will also help you master your final exams!

Make Acronyms And Metaphors

 Cheesy but catchy words and phrases are helpful tools for memorization. Don’t underestimate the power of a silly song, either!

Exercise

 After studying for a while, take a break to exercise. It will rejuvenate you and, while you’re exercising, you can review concepts in your head.

Relax The Night Before An Exam

 If you study early, then you can relax and lightly review the night before an exam. You’ll definitely be in a better testing state if you have a full night’s sleep the night before.

Use Technology To Help Visualize

 It’s definitely the opposite of number nine, but this is more about using the distractions of technology to your advantage. Digital flashcards, study apps and making PowerPoint presentations instead of a study guide are just some of the ways to do this.

Mistakes to Avoid in Choosing a College

Image
Choosing a college is stressful and making sure you make the right decision can often feel like a daunting task. To help with the process, here are some common mistakes to avoid on the way: 1. Speeding up the process: Finding the right college requires time and effort, not to mention research and an often lengthy application process. Waiting until the last minute or just "falling into a college" is never a good idea. Take the most important factor in the equation-you. 2. Be a follower: Following a boyfriend, girlfriend, best friend to the college of your choice may seem like a good idea at that time because you want to be close to them, but this is one of  the most important points in your life, too. You must remember that you must make the best decisions for yourself and, if your relationships are strong, time spent and distance anyway. 3.
