Becoming a more successful student starts with taking a look at your current study skills. Identifying problem areas can help you start addressing any problems.
Finding the best way to study is an ongoing process—and there is no one right answer. But there are some study habits that every successful student must have.
Learning how you can break bad study habits and start building more effective ones to become a more successful student is very important.
Hence, we will be looking at 5 common bad habits and how to fix them
How to fix it: Before you start studying, create a study plan that outlines what you should accomplish in this session.
2. Spending hours studying, but not getting anything done
How to fix it: Learn which part of the day are most productive and do most studying then. For some students, the morning hours are when they are sharpest and ready to learn. For others, studying at night is when they work best.
How to fix it: Turn off the cell phone and sign out of social media accounts. Save checking in on Facebook or sending that text to a friend for a study break—or even better, when you have finished studying for the day.
4.Trying to Cram
How to fix it: Start studying early and study a little bit each night. Reviewing the material over a longer period of time will help you remember information better, and help identify any areas that need some extra review time.
How to fix it: Successful students learn from their mistakes. If you fail an exam , encourage yourself not to give up. Use the experience to figure out where you can still improve and make a plan to do better next time.
By following the above steps, I am sure that your success in your exams is definitely guaranteed.
Dedicated to your Exam Success,
