How Do I Study

Studying all my heart out and still having failing grades is so frustrating and adding the fact that I do have a perfectionist father that always expects the best from me gives me more pressure. I’m in my first year taking up Bachelor of Science and my grades are always been the same no matter what I do, still I see failing marks. I’m not a nerd or a book worm and I’m starting to give up. I also wanted to have a fun life and I don’t want to get stuck with the four corners of my room studying all day and see no improvements at all with my grades.  I’ve always asked myself what was wrong with me. I’m living a healthy lifestyle and taking up vitamins with brain boosters and memory enhancers. But I don’t think that is enough.

Tutors can be of great help but I don’t want to rely on them forever. So I spoke with my tutor and I told her that I wanted to have passing grades but I want to do it on my own. I’m not a kid anymore and I want to have a sense of independence even with this little thing. My dad was of course reluctant to let go of my tutor but luckily she understood what I was going through. She then told me and my dad this study smarter book that she wanted to buy and hoped we could try it and that it could help me with my studies. What do I expect? My dad believed her and purchased it and so I’m obliged to read and try it. Now that I’m done reading it and have been receiving the mindmaps I am starting to see how I can study smarter with less effort. With all the help I’m getting from practically teaching me how to study with less effort to the strategies I’m learning from this and doing them, I finally get better grades than what I obtain before with the aid of my tutor. Plus, I don’t get to stress myself out to understand and comprehend my lessons and pass the exams. Actually, I’m starting to get high grades on our exams and I’m so happy! College life couldn’t be so much fun!

Every student wants to get great scores in their exams. If you’ve been getting not so good scores lately it’s time to ask yourself, “How do I study?” Are your study techniques good enough?

If you want to ace in your every exam then you should start learning how to study smarter and more effective. You need to know how you can pick the right materials needed to get good scores in your each and every exam. Instead of studying for several days, you’re definitely going to have more valuable time to do other things only if you’ll determine how to study effectively at the first place.

Honestly, I never really did enjoy studying for my exams. There were times that I spent several days and weeks going over a single lesson and in the end I see myself asking if I’m learning enough to get good grades and if these materials are really the right things I need to know.

I had negative thoughts whenever taking tests and had the feeling of failing it because I know the fact that I don’t really know how to study effectively. I’ve always expected that I’ll perform badly on my exams and was not confident enough to rely on my abilities.

However, I learned that some students, who weren’t really the best, don’t spend too much time studying their material but finishes our tests earlier and then got great grades. I tried to know how they were able to do it and the answers I learned modified how I studied for the tests.

In order to achieve high scores in your every exam you must understand these important things and definitely you’ll be on your way to getting high scores!

• Good preparation. During your preparation, don’t forget to review the previous examinations given. Some potential questions might be asked again. You’ll also get an overview of the common type of questions asked and how it is laid. Most lecturers and teachers gives tips and pointers as what topics will be included.

• Focus. When you’ve got this critical information about your upcoming exam in your hands, you’ll know what topics you must be focusing on. Don’t bother to spend so much time learning the topics that aren’t covered and won’t be even asked on the exam

• Study Alone. It is always recommended to study by yourself but don’t hesitate to ask questions if you are confused and or unsure about something. Studying in groups with your friends is not really effective as several research shows.

• Reinforce the information. Take the information and materials covered and read them again and again in order to reinforce the concepts on your mind. This way you’ll be learning the essential topics in less time than before!

These are some essential ways on how to study effectively in less time that you ought to include on your study habits. Again, focus on things that are important and what’s only covered on your exam and do not waste your valuable time learning other not so important things. Once you integrate these key things in your routine, you’ll soon reap what you sow and get that high grades you’ve been aiming for!
