Top 10 Study Tips!
Here are 10 effective study tips to help you retain information and stay productive:
1. Use Active Recall
• Instead of just re-reading, test yourself on the material.
• Try to recall key concepts from memory before checking your notes.
2. Use the Pomodoro Technique
• Study for 25-50 minutes, then take a 5-10 minute break.
• After 4 cycles, take a longer 15-30 minute break.
3. Teach Someone Else
• Explaining concepts to others forces you to truly understand them.
• Even talking out loud to yourself can work!
4. Use Spaced Repetition
• Review material over increasing intervals (e.g., Day 1, Day 3, Day 7).
• Apps like Anki or Quizlet can help.
5. Stay Organised with a Study Plan
• Break down subjects into smaller tasks.
• Set clear daily and weekly goals.
6. Minimise Distractions
• Turn off your notifications.
• Study in a quiet place or use noise-cancelling headphones.
7. Take Good Notes
• Use Cornell Notes or Mind Maps to structure information.
• Summarise key points in your own words.
8. Get Enough Sleep
• Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep for better memory retention.
• Avoid cramming overnight—it’s less effective!
9. Stay Active & Hydrated
• Exercise can improve focus and cognitive function.
• Drink plenty of water to keep your brain alert.
10. Use Multiple Learning Methods
• Combine reading, writing, videos, and hands-on practice.
• Different formats help reinforce understanding.
