Effective Ways To Enhance Learning

Studying is an important aspect of a student s daily life. However, in order to score high and efficient, it is not the hours that one studies that accounts for but it is how efficiently a student studies. The following are acts and things a student is suggested to follow in order to gain a higher outcome in upcoming exam series.

The 3 D s that should be avoided in order to revise and study adequately. Distractions are often around us the most popular one being our phone Regularly checking your phone after 5 minutes of reviewing won t do you any good. Instead keep it away for a few hours and completely indulge in the study session to make the best of the time you have. Constantly eyeing your phone will just disturb your aura of seriousness!

Watch out for anything that might distract you from concentrating on the tasks by changing up your location or sitting in a place that s quiet. (perhaps a local library!)

2. Study sessions are a myth.

You might encounter some of your friends planning to study together and invite you to come along Take their invitation with a grain of salt and reject politely.

Group studies often result in lack of attentiveness and more clustering and often more interference! Statistics support this claim by advising students to study alone as It results in less agitation and confusion.

Remember you have to do the exam solo and not with your friends so do not waste your time in indulging in something that might end up wasting your time. After all when the exams are near, the clock tends to tick faster.

You can t learn the entire syllabus of a subject in a day. Give yourself some credit and spread out your learning. Divide your study sessions into hours and days and plan out what you intend to revise each day. This helps you in staying motivated for revision and you will be able to grasp what you are learning.

If you try to learn the entire syllabus, or various topics in a day, you ll end up remembering none. Hence, the most sensible thing to do is take small steps each day to know what you are learning rather than let it slip from your mind.

4. Stay Motivated It s all worth it!

In order to keep studying consistently and efficiently, it is important to stay motivated and on your best mood at all times. Some students find it helpful to look amongst motivational quotes which keep them going. Others look up inspirational speeches whatever is your go-to, remember to keep in mind why you started studying and the happiness you ll obtain once you get those A s!

If you feel demotivated, talk to an adult about it or take aa break Don t push yourself too much, it s nerve wrecking and unhealthy.
