Some of us view clever students as people with big brains or people
who grab things easily some sort of out of this world. Well, let me
tell you, it is wrong to believe in this negative though clever
students are just normal people. If anything they are just hardwired
for motivation and hard work. Here are some strategies that will help
someone become a clever student.
1. Have a plan:
Without a clear plan you will be wandering aimlessly
from day to day and week to week. A good study plan will help you
clarify your most important priorities and allocate your time to them
accordingly. When a clear study plan is in place, either in your head
or in written form, there is little room for you to be confused as to
what needs to be done and when that needs to be done.
2. Don't Procrastinate:
Remember stress and anxiety are some of the
biggest obstacles to success. Procrastination is a source of stress
and anxiety. Avoid procrastination, If you have planned to do
something today don't leave it for tomorrow. Because you will have
other things to do tomorrow. The trick here is to get started.
Difficult tasks can be broken down into a set of smaller tasks - that
makes it a whole lot easier to get started.
3. Concentrate on the task at hand:
Do one thing at a time to do it well. Most clever people I know of do not multi-task. They will pick a
task and give their full attention to it. There is plenty of
scientific proof to show that multi-tasking is a myth. When you
multi-task it doubles the amount of time it takes to do a task. It
also doubles the number of mistakes.
4. Find the right crowd to hang around with:
You are the average of the five people you hang around with. Finding like-minded people will
not only help you execute your study plan and maintain consistency but
it will also help you learn more effectively. Teaching what you know
to someone else is an excellent way of testing your own knowledge.
5. Be normal and be yourself:
Studying should not be seen as a burden.
It should be seen as part of your normal lifestyle. This means you
should set aside enough time to do other things that are equally
important. Eat healthy, sleep enough, be physically active, do
extra-curricular activities and engage in activities that help you
relax. In other words, work hard as well as play hard. But most
importantly stick to your plan and be consistent - hard work is good
but regular hard work is better.
6.Review:
Psychologists have found that the best time interval between two
study sessions is 10% of the time between the final test and the
second study session. So, to remember something for a year, you should
review it about a month after you study it for the first time.
7. No to :
Don't over study ,studying many subjects at the same time will make
you confuse .
8. Start studying early
you are to write an examination you need to
start studying early in fact start studying one month before exams
this will make you find things easier.
Being a clever student is not easy you need to work extremely hard ,
study enough take rest and research .
