Useful Academic Tips

Are you struggling with grades? Trying really hard but still not able to accomplish desirable grades?

Here are some scientifically proven tips and advice to prepare for a test/exam or to study regularly.

Implementing these easy & simple tips in your daily life study routine will surely help you efficiently and effectively to learn new and important things.

* FACT OF THE DAY: "Don't simply mug the knowledge up but understand it well and try to implement it your life."

Without further ado lets get started:-

1. GET RID OF DISTRACTION

You have to overcome distractions when its study time.

Put your device in silent mode or on do not disturb. If you have a crucial or necessary work which includes the usage of mobile then, I suggest you put it on Focus mode. In this way, you can study proficiently as well as hard to get distracted.
Switch the network Off. (for better concentration or focus)
Ask for privacy- don't let people distract you by asking for things that are wasting your time. You have a lot left after completing your study session to talk or hold a conversation with your family. You can calmly and politely ask them "I have an extremely important upcoming test, I have to do my best in the exam that's why I need to concentrate. If you don't mind can I have my privacy for the next 2-4 hours?"

2. EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWERS TO OTHERS

Personally, this tip helped me a lot in understanding a concept better. Teaching someone in the easiest way possible helps you to understand it better.

some points to keep in mind!

Keep in mind & listen to others' points of view.
Listen and respond to questions.
Avoid talking down to people.
Ask questions to the person to see if she/ he understand the concept well
Focus on benefits, not features.
Compare new concepts to familiar ones.

3. TAKE REGULAR BREAK

Thinking that studying as many hours as possible in a day is the best way to study - then this is not the truth.

for an average person, you can concentrate with full focus up to 90 minutes - 2 hours.

so, take regular breaks.

Use the Promo-doro Technique, you can use the rule,

25-5 [ 25- minutes study and 5-minute break]
35-5 [35-minute study and 5-minute break]
45-5 [45- minute study and 5- minute break]

if you feel that you have the potential for studying up to 2-3 hours, you can use the rule,

1-10/ 1-15
2-10/ 2-15
3-10/ 3-15
