Every\nstudent has problems studying. There no doubt about it. Everyone has their own\nstruggles and problems when it comes to putting a pen on a piece of paper and writing,\nor trying to memorize lecture notes which is why I have a few tips for the people\nthat really need it. If you have perfect grades or have a photographic memory,\nthis is not the blog for you. This is for the people that really need help when\nit comes to studying. So, these are the few things I have learnt and I use\nevery day to study. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first\ntip I have for you is taking notes. It may seem like a hassle to take notes during\nclass when the lecturer is speaking. But, it is one of the most efficient ways\nfor a person remember what they have learnt. An old teacher of mine once told\nme that when you take notes of what the lecture says, you even develop muscle\nmemory and can remember it easily. I am not sure how true this is though, but\nit seems to work for me. Taking notes greatly benefited me once when the lecturer\nwas talking and accidently let loose a few exam tips without realizing. I\u2019m sure\nthat this happens to all lecturers which is why you should be taking notes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, revising\nafter class. Now, I know no one likes looking at their notes right after their\nclasses finish, but this also helps with remembering what was thought in class.\nMy mum used to nag me every day when I come back home from school, \u201cAlistair,\ngo revise your work now if not you\u2019ll forget\u201d. I did not think this would work\nbut it did. Every time you revise your work, at least some of what was thought\nin class would be memorized and your last minute studying for your finals will\nbe a piece of cake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A small\ntip, try to take quick breaks during your hardcore studying. A wise man in a\nvideo I watched on Youtube once said that quick 30 minute breaks between your 1\nor 1 and a half hour studying periods will greatly benefit you. The title of\nthe video was \u2018Study Smart Not Hard\u2019. Since I watched that video, I realized that\ntaking breaks actually did work. I felt more energetic every time I took a\nbreak, I did not feel sleepy and tired while studying and I felt like I  wanted to study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tip is\nfor all those people that find it hard to memorize their notes, have a good\nnights\u2019 sleep. Yes, sleep. A study conducted, proved that people who read their\nnotes right before going to sleep helped them remember their information more\nthan people who barely slept or pulled all-nighters. I know for a fact that\nthis works because I have done it multiple times for every test. At least 8\nhours of sleep is needed by a person but I have seen people sleep for just an\nhour. Pulling all-nighters does work sometimes, but at the cost of being tired\nthe entire day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that\nyou have some guidance on how to study I hope you will use these tips and study\nsmart, not hard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
