own words.
¢ Write what you remember on a rough sheet.
* Quiz yourself (MCQs, flashcards, previous
year questions)
Use the “Feynman technique
Explain the topic as if you're teaching a 12-
year-old. If you can’t explain it simply—>
revise that part again.

¢ Past exam papers
° Sample papers
¢ Chapter-wise questions
Use spaced repetiition
Don't revise a chapter once and forget. ae

all your notes dealing with these topics.

words. 2+2=4 is repeated while
jumping. 3+3=6 is repeated
while jogging in place.
Repeating facts, with the same
movements, to memorize.
VISUAL
See the facts or lines repeatedly
by writing them on windows or
mirrors. (With special
markers.) Print facts off on
paper and hang in the car.
Include pictures whenever
possible.
LOGICAL /
MATHEMATICAL
Focus on the order. Type or
handwrite out the words, then
cut them out into individual
pieces. To work on
memorizing, put the parts into
the correct order.
VERBAL
Instead of simply repeating out
loud, work on saying every
other word. Go back and forth
with every other word, or fact,
with a partner.
MUSICAL /
AUDITORY
Put words to tunes that are
easy Lo remember and
common. Think nursery
rhymes and songs.How To Survive

8 THINGS TO DO
BEFORE STUDYING:
Clean your study space and hide your phone - create a
distraction-free zone where only your study materials
exist
Do 2 minutes of jumping jacks - physical activity primes
your brain for better focus and retention
Set a specific goal for this session - "| will understand
chapter 3 and solve 5 practice problems"
Prepare water and a light snack - hunger and thirst are
focus killers, but heavy meals make you sleepy
Write down 3 questions you want to answer in this study
session - gives your mind clear targets
Open windows for fresh air or use a fan - optimal
temperature and oxygen boost brain performance
Layout only the essential materials you'll need - remove
everything else from your desk
Set a timer for focused work - start with 25 minutes,
knowing when you'll finish helps you start
Your study session quality depends on your preparation.
Which one will you start with?.
