Timothy Here Again,
With less than 40days to the exams, especially if you are yet to get started with your studies, one of the questions I get asked by students is How do I study continuously effectively for 12 to 14 hours?
In a nutshell:
You’ll have to stick to a study plan, take frequent breaks, and simplify each study session.
If I were you, I would not focus on the number of hours. It won’t guarantee your exam success because just sitting at your desk doesn’t mean you’re learning or memorizing every single minute. The only thing that is more likely to happen is that you’ll end up feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and unmotivated to keep it up.
So, a reliable study plan can include:
#1. Simplifying what you need to do in a single day: The best way to get your mind focused on what’s important to successfully pass your exams is to start the day with a question, “What is the ONE thing I am committed to completing today?”
#2. Taking notes of what’s relevant: Don’t just sit and read the textbook. Taking notes as you read improves your brain’s cognitive skills, makes retention of information easier and boosts memory.
A quick and efficient way to do this is the Cornell Method: writing a list of main points during a lecture, reviewing key concepts, and summarizing in just a few sentences.
#3. Doing the most challenging cognitive task first: Doing complex cognitive tasks first means taking advantage of your peak period — your biological clock that dictates which activities you’re more likely to do best at certain times of the day.
You may want to rethink when you sit down to study if you leave most of the work for nighttime. For most people, your brain’s peak performance is around 2-4 hours after you wake up
#4. Using a timer to study for short periods: For most efficient studying, there’s no need to be sitting at your desk for hours. Use a timer to better manage your study session. To review study material, set the timer to 50-minute increments then take a 10-minute break to maximize concentration.
#5. Eliminating distractions that waste your time: There are ways to put distractions out of your sight and out of mind. Check email and social media apps only 2–3 times a day.
Set expectations with friends and family members by letting them know you won’t be available during study sessions; you can catch up during lunch or in the afternoon.
