9 Tips For Successful Studying

1. Establish a routine: Set aside a
particular time each day for study and
revision and stick to it.
2. Create a study environment
This should be away from interruptions
and household noise, such as the
television. Ensure there is adequate
lighting and ventilation, a comfortable
chair and appropriate desk.
3. Set a timetable:
With a timetable you can plan to cover all
your subjects in an organised way,
allotting the appropriate time for each
without becoming overwhelmed.
4. Look after yourself:
Drink plenty of fluids, especially water, and
eat healthy foods. Keep sugary foods to a
minimum. Make sure you get enough
sleep each night. Regular physical exercise
makes you feel great, boosts your energy
and helps you relax. So try to keep up
regular sporting activities or at least fit in
some regular exercise as often as you can.
5. Reward yourself for studying:
Watch your favourite television program,
spend time with your friends, walk to the
park and play sport throughout the
week.
6. Have variety in your study program:
Study different subjects each day and do
different types of work and revision in
each study session.
7. Test yourself on what you have
studied:
Ask your parents or family members to
quiz you on what you have learnt, use
draft questions from books, past
assessments or major exam papers.
8. Don’t panic at exam time:
If you have followed a study routine and
have been revising your class work, there
should be no need to worry. Try to keep
yourself calm, positive and confident.
9. Ask your teachers for guidance:
Especially if you’re having trouble -
whether it’s grasping a new concept or
understanding something you learnt
earlier in the year. They will be happy to
help.
