There’s an exam tomorrow. You wish you would study every day, but that’s not happening. At least study in the most efficient way right now so that tomorrow will be easy. You’ll find tips on effective studying in this video. Software that blocks the internet or some sites for a while: http://getcoldturkey.com/ (Windows & Mac) http://selfcontrolapp.com/ (Mac) http://goo.gl/r600Rn (Chrome extension) http://goo.gl/Fh9H7 (Chrome extension) http://goo.gl/vKl9l (Firefox extension) SET A TIME FOR YOURSELF First of all, plan your time. Definitely set a time for yourself to study. Don’t sacrifice sleep at all. Sleeping less means low concentration. In other words, even if you study well, you may make unexpected mistakes on the exam. DON’T EAT A HEAVY MEAL Don’t eat enough to fill your stomach before you start studying. A full stomach will make you sleepy. For example, you can eat a plate of macaroni and cheese or a cheese and tomato sandwich. You can also snack while working, but instead of chips that will make your hands oily, it would be better to choose an apple. WORK AT THE DESK Find a comfortable place to work. It should not be uncomfortable or too comfortable. Stay away from places like the couch or the bed. The ideal thing to do is to work at a desk. If you can work with music, you can turn on something that plays softly. But of course, do not listen with headphones. Sometimes a very quiet environment can be disturbing. If there is not too much noise, you can open the window. GET ORGANIZED Organize the materials you need to study. Books, notebooks, class notes, colored pencils and of course a computer if necessary. If you do not trust your willpower, you can find links to software that temporarily blocks the internet in the description section. Such programs either completely disconnect your internet connection or only prevent you from accessing social networks. IMPORTANTLY You can start working now. If you have a lot of topics to read, make a plan and list them one under the other. Divide it under 3 headings such as most important, important, less important. If there are topics in the lesson that the teacher says “may come up on the exam,” you can open a separate heading. Prepare a nice study plan using colored pens. STUDY BY WRITING Studying by writing is the most well-known and most effective method. Don’t stray from it. Start a topic. Study by taking notes. Similarly, underline the important parts in the book with a highlighter. After you finish the topic, reinforce what you’ve learned by going over both what you’ve written and what you’ve marked. MEMORY BY ASSOCIATION One of the most effective learning methods is the association method. Associate the things you need to memorize with a song or a picture, for example. This way, you can remember them by thinking about what you’ve associated on the exam. You can also make up something yourself. You know, the famous formula for sulfuric acid is “hasan 2 idiot osman 4.” You can make witty associations like that. ALWAYS TAKE A BREAK Great. You’re doing great. But don't forget to take breaks from work. The time you work should be at least 20 and at most 50 minutes. The breaks you take should not be less than 5 minutes and more than 10 minutes. Your brain will digest what you learn during that time. Don't learn new things by hanging out on Facebook. Do things that won't occupy your brain, such as simple exercises or opening the window and watching the street.
