Keep in mind what you have to study, how much you have to study
and time you have. Have a balance between leisure and study.
Organise a time table in such a way that you have fun and
sufficient time for study. "All work and no play makes Jack a dull
boy". Fun is essential because an exhausted mind cannot absorb
what you study.
-
Decide when to study and what to study. Make a weekly time table.
It is better to have a short frequent period for each subject than
long hours for one. Start with interesting easy lessons/ topics
and then go on to difficult ones unless they are interconnected.
-
Pay total attention to what you are studying :
You will absorb more and understand better.
-
Do not study when tired. Relax with something light for a short
while and come back to studies. But do not confuse laziness and
tiredness.
- Understand the material you have to learn as a whole.
-
Re-learn and revise previous lessons frequently. If you have
learned mathematical formula or grammar rules practise their use,
for Practise makes a man perfect.
-
Do not try to learn everything by heart. Read the chapter
carefully, understand the ideas and write down the essential
points. The said points will be very useful for revision.
-
Do not learn notes but get the most important points and put them
down in order under headings and sub-headings.
-
During the weekend, set aside sometime to go over the week's work
concentrating on points you have not grasped.
