10 Unique Study Tips for Students during the exam season ๐๐งก
1. Change Your Scenery โ Switching your study location, even within your home, can help your brain associate different spaces with new information.
2. Use โBackward Learningโ โ Start from the exam question or concept you want to understand, then work backward to see how itโs connected.
3. Teach Your Pet or a Plant โ Explaining what youโve learned out loud to someone (or even your dog or a plant) strengthens memory retention.
4. Pair Smells with Topics โ Use a specific scent (like peppermint or citrus) while studying a topic, smell can trigger memory recall during exams.
5. Create a โMini-Disaster Drillโ โ Quiz yourself under timed conditions and mild stress to mimic exam pressure, it improves performance.
6. Use Colour to Encode โ Assign colors to types of information or subjects; your brain remembers color-coded info faster.
7. Write Questions, Not Just Notes โ After reading a page, jot down questions your teacher might ask, rather than just copying facts.
8. Study in Short Bursts with Music Tracks โ Use a specific song or playlist per topic; your brain links the rhythm to what youโve learned.
