- Choose a good location: The place where you study can affect how you study and the study matter you retain. So choose a familiar and quiet place. This will help you study more efficiently and improve your ability to recall information.
- Alternate between subjects: Instead of studying the same subject for hours, choose another subject as well. This will break monotony and help you recall what you studied more easily.
- Study in groups: Studying in groups will help you share your perspectives on topics and gain others’ perspectives. It encourages knowledge and idea sharing.
- Systematise your work: Highlight important notes and create a quick reference sheet with important diagrams and formulae that you can go through before your exams.
- Give yourself short breaks: Instead of studying at a stretch, give yourself breaks every couple of hours. Continuous study can hinder your ability to focus. During these breaks, take a walk or stretch your body. This boost of oxygen will improve your memory.
- Quiz yourself: Ask yourself questions and solve as many papers as possible to evaluate your comprehension of different subjects.
- Get good sleep: Sacrificing your sleep could impact your performance during an examination. Ensure you get at least six to eight hours of sleep every day. This will help you concentrate well, keep you alert and reduce stress.
- Eat healthy: Consuming fruits such as apples and berries will decrease toxins in the bloodstream and sharpen your memory.
