STUDYSKILLS TIPS ON HOW TO STUDY…
TIP 1: • Study in a quiet place that is free from distractions and interruptions. • Try to create a space that you can use only for studying purposes if it is possible…
TIP 2 • Make a study timetable that shows what subjects you need to study • Then structure them as tasks in the order that you will like to learn your subjects • Put a date next to each task so that you can learn the work by that time • This will help you with your study load in terms of your subjects
TIP 3 • Try to study at the time of day that suits you best • Some students prefer to study in the mornings while others prefer the night
TIP 4 • Make sure that you are well nourished • You should not be sleepy, tired or hungry as you will not accomplish your tasks • You will not be able to concentrate and absorb the information • Your mind, body and soul has to be in top form so you can prepare yourself
TIP 5: • Concentrate on one task at a time • Do not overload yourself with work that needs to be learnt as this can cause you to mix up your work • One thing at a time will allow you to learn and understand the work better
TIP 6: • Break your work up into smaller parts as this will make things easier • A big chapter can be broken up in parts so you wont feel tired thinking of all the work you have to learn before you can even start
TIP 7: • Make sure you are relaxed and not stressed • Being relaxed helps you to study better and you will remember your work • Do some simple exercises to help you concentrate before you start • Don’t think about petty issues like your girlfriend/ boyfriend as this will not allow you to achieve your goals
TIP 8: • Ensure that your mind and body is physically and mentally prepared before you study • Do not think about how much you have to study • Focus on studying the work you know and finishing the task you set for that time • Don’t say I will do it tomorrow because then you have twice as much work to complete
TIP 9: • Whatever subject you are studying, make it interesting and exciting • Use real life examples, draw mind maps, use acronyms and personal experiences • These will help you remember and helps you create an interest in what you are studying
TIP 10 • Take a break when you think you have learnt a sufficient amount of work • Go for a stretch or walk • Have lots of water to drink • Don’t allow your body and mind to go into sleep mode
GOOD LUCK!!! • I hope that these tips help you to study better and remember your work • You are the creator of your own destiny so start with the basics… • Fiona Maistry
