Many times you may find yourself one day or one week before
examination and you didn't prepare for it, either because of too much
works nor you are not focusing enough in this article I'll explain how
to study for your exams even if its too late .
Get Prepared
Prepare everything that you need before you start studying your note
books , lectures note , your phone and PC that will help you to watch
videos about the area that you are confuse , choose with one is best
for you watching , reading or listening to the audio lectures.
Learners remember
10% of what they read
20% of what they hear
30% of what they see
50% of what they hear and see
70% of what they say
90% of what they say as they do what they say .
Here I suggested you to read from your note and watch videos lectures
from your PC or mobile phone , after that close your book and PC find
an empty book and write down what you learn . Watching videos have two
advantages you will hear that means you will remember 20% of what you
hear from the video and you see you will remember 30% of what you see
from that video .
You can choose which one is best for you .
Set a plan
Sit down and write down down your plan, proper study time , taking
rest set a time for everything if you are to study for 5 hours you
have to rest at least 10-15 minutes in each hour and in your plan you
have to write 6 or 7 extra hour to avoid unnecessary distraction .
Stick to your plan
Don't ever give up , stick to your plan no one is perfect everyone can
do it disobeying your plan will make you learn nothing except a lesson
that will learn when the result is out.
Don't get distracted but how?
We have two types of distraction which are;
1- External distraction
2- internal distraction
External distraction
The external distractions are things that we pick up from the
surrounding world through our senses. They are the things that we see,
hear, smell, taste, and touch. For examples ; reading while radio TV
is on , being distract by noisy things .
Make sure you find a good study time and a conducive atmosphere with
will be quite and good for studying , you can go to library , your
room , or any other proper place for studying the more you get
distract the more you will lose your focus .
Internal distraction
The internal distractions are mostly the things that bounce around in
our brain like random thoughts, memories or dreams. That’s what most
meditation practices tend to focus on: disciplining our monkey minds
to be more focused and calm.
Do everything that will make you happy and don't bother yourself and
worry too much this is to avoid internal distraction the more you
internally get distract the more you will not focus enough .
Eat Healthy
Have 3 square meal a day this will keep you healthy and make you focus
more on your studies , leaving yourself with hungry stomach will not
help u to focus enough you will end up beating a dead horse.
Study without limits.
Study like if you fail each course you will be withdraw from the school .
Taking nap
Take a nap when you study much this will help you to refresh your
brain and wake up fresh .
Believe in yourself
Put it in your mind that you can do it and only working hard will make u do it .
Finally have a confident and never tend to give up if you study much
you can hang around with friends and have some exercise .
