The essence of effective learning is first to learn intelligently. The revision process should not include a full night's sleep before the test day. Good study requires a whole process of pre-preparation. There are a few tips for doing well in studying and applying your own methods. The learning process depends on your determination and the environment in which you are striving.

Steps

Part 1 of 4: Take care of yourself

1. 

   Drink a lot of water. Water is a miracle for the body. A glass of water on the table will fuel you to focus when studying. Being hydrated is also beneficial for your memory.

2. 

   
   
   Full eating. Treating your body well has been half of building a right concept. There are some special foods that can help improve your focus and fitness. Studies have shown that foods high in starch, high in fiber, and slowly digested like oatmeal are best for a pre-test breakfast. The foods you eat two weeks before your exam are also important and affect the quality of your studies. Eat a balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
   • Incorporate “superfoods” like blueberries and almonds into your diet.

3. 

   
   
   Stimulate the circulatory system. The circulatory system controls the heart and blood circulation. Good blood flow to the brain is also part of effective learning. Studies have shown that 20 minutes of circulatory stimulation can improve memory. However, you don't have to run if you don't want to. Rock the room with your favorite dance, allowing yourself to relax and relieve stress during a break.
   • It is essential to increase heart rate. As your heart beats faster, continue to exercise for at least another 20 minutes.

4. 

   
   
   Get enough sleep. A good night's sleep (at least 7-8 hours) will energize your studies. If there is a lack of sleep, your studies will only serve as an obligation. When you are sleepy, you won't learn as much as you do when you sleep well. advertisement

Part 2 of 4: Learn wisely

1. 

   Stick to school schedule. After planning the optimal work, you stick to it. Set aside time each day for study. Even though there are two weeks left until a test or presentation, a little study each day will benefit you.

2. 

   Understand what you are learning. Students often memorize what they will ask on the test, but that has not worked yet. Understanding what you are learning will help increase your memory capacity. You may not be interested in keeping your trigonometry problems in mind once your exams are over, but in the long run you will need them.
   • Make connections with what you're learning. Relating what you are learning to everyday life is not always easy. This is a skill that you can improve over time. Take the extra time to relate what you are learning to the aspects of your life.

3. 

   Use school cards. This is one of the best methods you can use in virtually all subjects. Writing information on the cards forces the brain to focus on that knowledge. Once done, you can test back on your own and have others check on you.
   • When you read the definition on one side of the card and check the terms yourself, turn to the other side. Force yourself to state the definition or formula for that word or concept.

4. 

   Write down your notes. Some people may be very shy about doing this work because they spend a lot of time taking notes in class. However, it is necessary to rewrite records by adding additional information. Don't just ignore notes and transcribe. Use additional external resources such as textbooks or assigned essays.
   • This is a good learning method because it requires you to take the extra step of reading all of your notes and textbooks. Reading, thinking, and writing are all steps to effective learning.

5. 

   Take time to relax. After you have learned enough time, every 45 minutes to 1 hour, take a break, about 10-15 minutes. This learning method has been tried and tested.After the break, go back to your previous learning as a test. Returning to the resting lessons will help strengthen the knowledge in your brain.
   • Don't watch TV shows or play games during breaks. You may be drawn into the game and have a hard time getting back to work. Try taking the dog for a walk or a short run outdoors.

6. 

   Test yourself. After studying in the time set, test yourself again in the last 20 or 30 minutes. This is a great way to review all the knowledge you've learned and to inculcate more deeply into your brain concepts. Textbooks often have quizzes at the end of each chapter. Try to do one of these, even if you don't get it.
   • You don't have to take the tests to self-test. You can cover a definition or notes with your hand, and then repeat the information that is obscured.
   • If you answered incorrectly, please review the answer section.

7. 

   Avoid cramming. Cramming or corner learning the night before the exam will not work. Most people need a few days to review their notes in order to memorize them deeply. When cramming, the information you try to remember will not be retained. Don't listen to those who are assertive about the effectiveness of cramming. It is odd that sometimes people do well. Don't compare yourself to them! Everyone is different, and you need to do things that suit your conditions. advertisement

Part 3 of 4: Prepare for learning

1. 

   Maintain the curriculum. It is important in class to record assignments. When your teacher announces the test next Friday night, write it down. Mark each day until the test date. Keeping track of the assignments helps you reinforce this task in the to-do list you keep in mind.
   • An organized study schedule will keep you from getting overwhelmed.
   • For your schedule to work, you need to use it every day and look at it every time you sit down to do homework.

2. 

   Plan your study time. Everyone loves to read and work at different times of the day. Experiment with a few times to find out when you are most productive. Usually students take a short break after school at school before going home. Take some time to take a nap and sit at your desk. If you finish your studies in the afternoon, you can relax in the evening.
   • Many people find that doing homework or studying at night or early in the morning is more effective. This completely depends on each person's schedule and habits.
   • If you want to play sports or participate in after-school activities, you will have to carefully schedule your study time. It is easy to skip learning after intense training, so take note.

3. 

   Create the right space to learn. You need a desk that is large enough and well-lit. Students often tell each other that listening to music, turning on the television or leaving the phone helps, but all that distract you. If you can't study in a quiet atmosphere, listen to background music instead of music with lyrics.
   • Avoid reading textbooks in bed. You will easily be seduced by sleep.
   • Leaving home to study can help you stay focused. Changing your place of study can improve your memory skills. Try going to a nearby cafe or library, depending on your preference.

4. 

   Create a study group. Many people find it beneficial to join study groups. These study groups are extremely relaxed and often very effective. You don't have to be a "lone wolf" in your studies. Humans are creatures of social life. Even if it feels like you don't know as much as everyone else, you should still give it a try. You will find that you actually have a lot to contribute to the team.
   • Studies have shown that reviewers in the same group often have higher scores.

5. 

   Know your learning style. There are three different types of learning: visual learning, sound learning, and motor learning. If you're the right person for visual learning, you may need to highlight your notes. If you're someone who likes learning through sound, you should probably put lyrics to a song from those notes. If you are an active learner, you may need to turn your notes into activity.
   • Learning styles make up the bulk of academic success. If you do not study with the right learning style for you, the knowledge will not be embedded in the brain.
   • You need to study at least 2 and a half hours a day, so you should take about 30 minutes each subject.

Part 4 of 4: Creating the right concept

1. 

   Completely focused. When you sit in class, you need to be willing to learn and not see it as leisure time. Sit at the first table if not in the correct position. Avoid classmates who joke around in class. This way, you will be able to focus completely on your studies.

2. 

   Change the subject. Focusing on only one subject in one session may not work. If you can do this, great. You should change the subject you are studying; This will help keep your focus fresh as your eyes on new topics.

3. 

   Focus on the present. This may be the hardest part of a world full of distractions today. When you begin to feel like you're less productive, tell yourself. "Focus on the present", then slowly return to what you are learning. It may sound exaggerated, but this may help, although it doesn't work for everyone.
   • Say this when you take a deep breath, your eyes close to calm your mind.

Advice

• Gather more notes and examples from reference books.
• Be careful not to let other things get you bored or distracted.
• If you don't understand the lesson, get help before you start studying.
• It is said that if you can listen well in class, you have learned 60% of what you need to know. Listening in the classroom is extremely important.
• Do not watch TV, listen to music, or snack when studying. These activities will reduce concentration and make learning difficult.
• Underline / highlight important points in your study material to avoid wasting time focusing on less important things. But don't end up underlining or highlighting EVERYTHING.
• Listen to soothing music without words.
• Mind mapping is a learning method as effective as the card-based method. You can learn a lot of information in no time.
• Turn off the phone.
• Exciting activities add energy during the break after school. You can go for a walk in the park, play a sport, go for a jog or text / call your friends.
