How to Study Effectively

1. Create a Schedule or Plan

Ensure that you have enough time to study everything you need and have time for other activities and events. It helps to be able to visually see how your day is planned out and it reminds ourselves the obligations we have when we are distracted by other activities.

2. Steer Clear of Distractions

Keep your table clear and try to keep your phone away from you. If you’re studying on your table, it would also be a great idea to use website blockers to block social media websites.

3. Study in Group

If you cannot focus on your own and require motivation from other people, just simply create a study group with people who know how to study with being distracted!

4. Seek Help.

The worst thing a student can do to themselves is not ask for the help they deserve. Putting off any off your questions or confusions will only lead to a bigger confusion in the long run.

5. Write Some Study Notes.

Research has shown that reading leads to less knowledge retainment than by actively thinking and writing. This makes summarising and making writing your own study notes very important.

6. Take Study Breaks

For every 30 minutes you study, take a short 10-minute break to recharge. Short study sessions are more effective and help you make the most of your study time.
