‘How do I get motivated to study?’
It is one of the question which heat each and every time on student mind. To solve the problem of student question here is some tips which are listed below.
Understand your study topics in your own words:
Your teacher or lecturer can explain something to you, you can learn it
from a text book, your friends can study with you, even your own notes
can explain it to you but all these explanations are of little use if,
by the end, you can’t explain what you have learned to yourself. If you
don’t understand a study concept that you need to illustrate in an exam
to get top exam results, then you won’t be happy with your end exam
result. The key to help improve your memory is to understand what you’ve learned
when you are studying it. So don’t just memorise and tick off the list –
make sure you understand your theory.
Give yourself enough time to study:
Set out a timetable for your study.
Write down how many exams you have and the days on which you have to sit
them. Then organize your study accordingly. You may want to give some
exams more study time than others, so find a balance that you feel
comfortable with. Don't leave it until the last minute. While some students do seem to thrive on last-minute.
Practice on old exams:
One of the most effective ways to prepare for exams is to practice
taking past versions. This helps you get used to the format of the
questions, and - if you time yourself - can also be good practice for
making sure you spend the right amount of time on each section.
Don’t be afraid to ask study questions:
Don’t be afraid of asking a ‘stupid’ question – there really is no such
thing when it comes to study and learning! Embrace your curiosity, for
as William Arthur Ward said: “Curiosity is the wick in the candle of
learning.” Doing so will allow you to fill in the blanks and better
prepare you for exams.
Set your study goals and create a flexible study plan:
With your study goals in mind and your end of year exams weeks and
months away it makes sense to have a flexible study plan as opposed to a
rigid one. The closer you get to your exams the more concrete your
study plan should be, but at this point it should be porous.
Organize study groups with friends:
You may have questions that they have the answers to and vice versa. As
long as you make sure you stay focused on the topic for an agreed amount
of time, this can be one of the most effective ways to challenge
yourself.
Take regular breaks:
Everyone's different, so develop a
study routine that works for you. If you study better in the morning,
start early before taking a break at lunchtime. Or if you're more
productive at nighttime, take a larger break earlier on so you're ready
to settle down come evening.
Snack on 'brain food':
Keep away from junk food! You may feel like you deserve a treat, or that
you don't have time to cook, but what you eat can really have an impact
on energy levels and focus.
Plan your exam day:
Make sure you get everything ready well in advance of the exam - don't
leave it to the day before to suddenly realize you don't know the way,
or what you're supposed to bring. Check all the rules and requirements,
and plan your route and journey time. If possible, do a test run of the
trip; if not, write down clear directions.
