Exams can be overwhelming, but with the right studying habits and techniques it can be less strenuous. Here are some tips and advice:
Mnemonic devices are very helpful in memorization.
Making a schedule for studying keeps things from running together and prevents late night studying.
Be sure to take breaks and reward yourself. It will keep you motivated and focused if you simple take your mind off of it for a little while; no long breaks though.
Study in a place where you can focus.
Do not wait until the night before. Spread it out over time so it won’t be stressful on you.
Using tools while you study helps. Use highlighters, circle things, underline things, and outline information.
Charts, diagrams, and graphs are helpful to make for analyzing data and organizing information.
Flash cards are golden. They help memorization and learning information effectively.
Towards the end of your studying, self-test yourself. It shows what you know and what you need to study more.
Getting a good night’s rest and eating a good breakfast before every exam is quite beneficial as well.
With these tips and advice, you should be in good shape for exams.
