Study Methods That Actually Work
Want to make your revision sessions way more effective? Try the Pomodoro method - study for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break. After three rounds, reward yourself with a 15-minute break!
The blurting method is brilliant for testing what you actually remember. Read your notes, then write down everything you can recall without looking. Use a different coloured pen to add what you missed and keep repeating until it's perfect.
Flashcards might seem old-school, but they're genuinely one of the best ways to memorise information quickly. They work because they force your brain to actively recall facts rather than just reading them.
Quick tip: Mix up your study methods to keep things interesting and help information stick better in your memory.
Smashing Your Homework Game
Get your homework done as soon as possible, then check it over the next day with fresh eyes. This simple approach stops you rushing at the last minute and helps you spot mistakes you might have missed.
For group projects, create a group chat straight away and find times when everyone's free to contribute. Don't be tempted to do all the work yourself - these projects are designed to test teamwork, not just your individual effort.
If your project involves making something physical, buy your materials immediately and plan exactly when you'll work on it. Running out of time because you couldn't find clay or cardboard is easily avoidable!
Remember: Do your best in group work, but don't stress if others don't pull their weight - that's not your responsibility.
Taking Notes Like a Pro
Create clear subtitles for everything and focus on writing down the most important points rather than copying everything word-for-word. Your notes should capture key information, not be a novel!
Always draw a square around definitions to make them stand out, and include diagrams whenever possible - your brain loves visual information. Keep your handwriting neat and legible, because messy notes are useless notes.
Use a colour-coding system to organise different types of information. Try red for dates, blue for opinions, green for quotes, and yellow for key events. This makes revision much easier later on.
Pro tip: Your notes are your personal study tool, so make them work for you - develop a system that makes sense to your brain.
Staying Focused When It Matters
If you genuinely struggle with conditions like ADHD or ADD, speak to a doctor about getting proper support or medication. Don't suffer in silence when help is available.
Remove all distractions from your study space by putting your phone, TV remote, gaming devices, and anything else you're not using in another room. Ask someone to hide them if you need extra willpower!
Try listening to non-lyrical music while studying - artists like Lukrembo or Chillpeach are perfect. Lyrics can distract your brain from processing the information you're trying to learn.
Focus hack: Your environment massively affects your concentration, so take control of it rather than hoping for the best.
Fuel Your Brain Properly
Water-based vegetables like cucumber and tomatoes in salads are brilliant brain food that keeps you alert without making you sluggish. For when you need something sweet, make homemade trail mix with nuts, seeds, popcorn, and a bit of chocolate.
Coffee or matcha can really help with focus and memory, whether you prefer it hot or iced. Just don't go overboard with the caffeine - too much will make you jittery rather than focused.
Hot chocolate is also lovely for studying, but remember that water is the most important drink for keeping your brain working properly. Dehydration kills concentration faster than anything else.
Brain fuel: What you eat and drink directly affects how well you can study, so choose wisely!
