Last week we gave you 34 study tips to help you be the best student you can be. Today, we give you some more of these tips guaranteed to make you super.
35. Listen to motivating music while studying. Every one has their own favourite types of music. Use them to spice you up.
36. Start to study early in the semester to avoid sudden panic attack, procrastination, and other unexpected events that might cause you to fail exam. Starting early also means you don't have to work a lot in one day like those late starters.
37. Always be efficient so that you put in less energy and time to get better results.
38. Keep things tidy. Tidy places promote productivity.
39. Master time management.
40. Convert long text into short bullet point form for easy memorising.
41. Use highlighter, colour stickers, note pads etc. to manage information.
42. Keep a list of content (with title and subtitle) of a subject. Tick those that you have studied, highlight those that you are weak in. This way you have a "map" to manage and plan your study.
43. Try mind mapping to organise study content.
44. Make complete databases for graphs, diagrams, formulas, definitions etc. With databases you can study essential information easily. You won't like to study things that are scattered about in a textbook.
45. Cover all chapters of a subject instead of focusing only a part of the subject. Go for the big picture and then slowly improve individual parts.
46. Be aware of subjects or chapters that you are weak in. These are spots that will leak water into your ship. Take repair work seriously.
47. Do exercises smartly. Recognise the pattern of answering questions so that you have a formula to solve further questions.
48. Take snapshots of writings on black/white board instead of busy jotting down notes and miss the words coming out of teacher/lecturer's mouth.
49. Master goal setting.
50. Write important information on small cards so that you can bring them anywhere for instant studying.
51. Be street smart and plan strategy for your exam. Things are not straightforward all the time. Prepare to change to adapt to new environment.
52. Find good teachers who are motivating. If your teacher sucks, find a good tuition teacher or mentor.
53. Learn about exam behaviour. Does your teacher give sure win tips? Is your lecturer super strict or lenient? Which subjects have low passing rates? Lay down your strategy according to each subject's exam behaviour.
54. Maintain a good relationship with your teachers/lecturers. They have the power to pass and fail you. However, you don't have to be a sucker to do that.
55. Make friends, a lot of friends. Wide social network is beneficial to your study.
56. Form intelligence network. Pass year papers, exam tips, and other information can be passed around through email and photocopies. Your friends and seniors form such network.
57. Create a study group. Having many brains is better than being a lone wolf. Study groups can act as intelligent network, work in concert for high efficiency, exploit each member's strength, and much more.
58. Do past year papers and learn the questioning pattern. Some questions might repeat themselves.
59. Ask experts on the Internet. Learn from educational websites like wikipedia and Howstuffworks. Watch demo on Youtube and VideoJug.
60. Keep a few information resources. You get info from newspaper and magazine subscriptions, seminars and workshops, websites and blogs, and many more. Make use of them.
61. Train yourself to have good handwriting. It forms good impression to sell your image. Also, you are better at conveying a message when your handwriting is beautiful.
62. Manage your risk. Make sure your risk can be coped by your ability. You don't want to take too many subjects in one semester or choose a too difficult optional subject.
63. Always ask advice and tips from your teacher/lecturer.
64. If everything else fails and you think you might fail in an exam, ask for help from the teacher/lecturer. They might let you pass at borderline, which is better than a big fat FAIL.
65. Avoid being a nerd who studies nine hours a day. Nerds don't prove themselves to be smart. They are both hardworking and inefficient.
66. Learn things and develop new skills outside your course. The real world is more than just what you are studying.
67. Master soft skills. Soft skills are far more important than your school performance once you enter working life. I'm not kidding.
68. Learn to live life. Life is more than studying. You have to learn to be a human and enjoy all aspects of life.
