1) Your Environment matters
Every day study at the same place, same time, and same setting. Set up your study table with nothing except your necessary materials. That's right keep everything that distract you out of sight, and learn to be focus.
Top distractions include Hand phone, music etc. So keep focused and set yourself
up to success.
2) Plan out your study schedule, space out different subjects, keep breaks in between study sessions. And keep to your own schedule.
3) Record your marks down for every section of test paper to track improvement and progress
4) Find out your objective to study, put it in words and print out, then paste on your wall.
5) Listen in class and take good notes, notes need to help you study, not repeat teachers words.
6) Revise your notes always. keep a habit of reading your own notes everyday.
7) Keep a record of assignments on a piece of paper or take hand phone notes on assignments.
Then you need to keep a study mindset.
You need to know that you study to learn, not for something else like results etc.
Now these are ways to help improve your study mindset:
- Aim to think positively when you study, and remind yourself of your skills and abilities.
- Avoid catastrophic thinking. Instead of thinking, “I’m a mess, I’ll never have enough time to study for this exam,” look at it like, “I may be a little late to study as much as I’d like, but since I’m doing it now, I’ll get most of it done.”
- Avoid absolute thinking. Instead of thinking “I always mess things up,” the more objective view is, “I didn’t do so well that time, what can I do to improve?”
- Avoid comparing yourself with others, because you usually just end up feeling bad about yourself. Your skills and abilities are unique to you, and you alone.
And lastly you need to be aware of your objective!
What is your objective?
How are you doing now?How to bridge the gap from now to your objective?
Write down 1 objective
