Tips for Study Smart

 

I believe that students have problems on how to study. So do I. So that, here i had goggled and found some of the tips to share with the readers. Here, i listed 5 tips on how to study smart.

1. Build a large foundation.  Try to read lots and having a general understanding of many topics to gives you a lot more flexibility in finding the patterns and metaphors in new topics. The more you already know, the easier it is to learn.
2.  Teach it. Teach someone who doesn't understand the topic. Spending five minutes explaining a concept can save you an hour of combined studying for the same effect.
3. Don't force. Don't spend so much time studying before exams. Forcing information during the last few days is incredibly inefficent. Instead, try to slowly interlink ideas as they come to you so studying becomes a quick recap rather than a first attempt at learning.
4. Make short note. Havingly a beatiful notes and a perfect highlighted textbook doesn't matter if you don't understand the information in it. Don't be afraid to get messy when scrawling out ideas on paper and try connecting them in your head.
   
5. Use all your senses. Abstract ideas are difficult to memorize because they are far removed from our senses. Shift them closer by coming up with vivid pictures,feelings and images that relate information together.

Have a try, friends! Hopefully with the tips given, we manage to study smart rather than study hard. I wish you all the best of luck ;)
