10 Study Tips for Your Student
Thanks to Oxygen Factory for the following tips, useful for anyone studying or needing a little help with a project:
- Plan your study time into 50 minute blocks. Take a break.
Reset your brain for maximum concentration.
- Schedule what you will do during break times. Refresh your mind by moving
your body - walk the dog, dance, go for a run.
- Focus on understanding rather than memorising. The more you understand the
less you have to remember.
- Make posters of important dates and equations and stick them up in your
room, in your shower (laminated) or on the back of the toilet door.
- Use wordle.net to create word clouds of key themes and topics.
- Visit Khan Academy online. Khan will tutor you for free with online
videos.
- Sleep 9.25 hours per night for optimum brain function. Keep a notepad on
your bedside table to stop diarrhoea of the brain and make notes if you can't
sleep.
- Know the schedule of exams and allow plenty of time to get there. Avoid the
early morning rush.
- When it all gets too much, go sit in a tree to get a fresh perspective.
- Be Positive. A positive mind set will not create talent but it will release
it.
