and mechanics.
Underline the Key Points
This is one among the best known study tips. The act of underlining something means you are engaging with
certain key aspects of the text. Highlight one key sentence per paragraph and few important phrases here and
there. Highlighting the most significant parts of what you’re reading helps you to brief up the whole chapter so
that the next time when you are going to revise the chapter or topic, you don’t need to scroll down the whole
page but you will recall every concept just by having a look of the underlined sentence.
Prepare your Own Study Notes
Taking notes is one of the most widespread study skills. Preparing the notes help to summarise the lectures or
articles in your own words including all the key info, so that you can easily remember the ideas.
Make a Study Plan and Stay Organized
It is also one of the most effective study skills. A well organized study plan helps you to be clear with what you
need and when you need. Create a study timetable to stick to it to achieve your goal. It can help you to remind
what to learn and when. It not only helps you get organized but makes the most of your time. It’ll also put your
mind at ease that nasty you get when you walk into an exam knowing that you’re not at all prepared.
Collaborate with Study Partners
To break the monotony of sitting alone with your nose in the books all day, select a couple of study partners who
you know you work well with and are motivated to achieve good grades. Group studying helps you to engage and
process the information more deeply. If you are not clear with some topic or concept, you can discuss it with your
friends. Actively engaging the information with someone else not only helps you to learn, but makes studying
more enjoyable.
Take Regular Study Break
Your brain is like a muscle which can also get tired if you overwork it. Once it gets tired you really can’t
concentrate on your work. So it’s important to realise the length of your concentration span and help yourself to
give some rest from the work you’ve put in. Taking regular short breaks not only improve your focus they can
boost your productivity too.
