My Own Ways of Studying

I know that this post did come abit too late, but I decided to share some of my studying ways with whoever who visits this blog. (I know that this post is abit too long, but just bear with it ;) )

Recently, I kept hearing about friends are working out late in the night or midnight, some even until dawn. I don't think that's the right way to go. The time between 11pm and 3pm is the time that our body and mind (or even soul? rofl) needs to rest. We should be SLEEPING during that hour. Try waking up early in the morning (around 5am), and start your studies by then. You should be able to get some better studying results. Oh yeah, and if you couldn't wake up on time, get an alarm clock or hire a friend to blast your phone ;D

Also, do not crap your head inside the books. Study for 15 minutes, then take a small break for a few minutes. Play your guitar, piano, or just look out of your window; Let your mind have time take in what you had just read, and go back for another 15 minutes. During the 15 minutes, you must have ZERO distraction. Use that time to totally focus on your book. Repeat the process and you'll find it effective in no time.

We should read and go through through what the teacher is going to teach the next day at least one time. That's the main and primary reason why we should bring our textbook home, and not just leave it in school. If you're just lazy, then flip through the book during the time that the teacher is not in the class yet. By doing this, you're able to get an idea what is going to be taught and it'll be easier to remember and recall.

Lastly, MAKE NOTES! Three type of notes. Pre-class notes, In-class notes and EXAM notes. Pre-class notes are made before the teaching period starts, mostly used to get an whole idea about the chapter. In-class notes, everyone knows how to do it. Just copy down whatever you think is important that is wrote on the blackboard. Here comes the most important part; EXAM notes. Just highlight the main points that you had prepared in your pre-class and in-class notes and copy them down. Now you have it, notes to prepare for EXAM!

So did you make it here? I'm proud of myself that I can actually write all the way here. Hope this helps ya' all.


As usual, Hope uAllFaiL Good luck in your exams! ;)

thanks for sharing these tips, i agreed.
it's useless spending the whole sweet night in studies while you're so exhausted and you can't absorb the studies effectively.

anyway, it's good to hear that you actually worked hard in your exams.

so good luck in your future studies :)
