1. Make a study schedule. And stick to it, study schedules can make using your time effective much easier.
2. Make flashcards. Flashcards can be a really helpful way to retain information and they can be used again and again with other people to make sure you know the facts.
3. Do past papers. Past papers put your mind into that position where you are tested on real examples and then there is the mark scheme to talk you through anything you couldn't do and prepare you for the real exam.
4. Get enough sleep. Don't stay up late revising because it doesn't help much just make sure you get your normal amount of sleep each night.
5. Use earphones. Study playlists and music can really help you focus but don't use music that you want to sing too, as this will only distract you.
6. Colour code your notes. Colour coding helps highlight key information to focus on.
7. Eat breakfast. Breakfast is very important to start of day and give you energy to study.
8. Don't leave it till the last minute. Last minute cramming isn't an effective studying method.
9. Take short breaks. Studying for more than an hour without a break becomes unproductive.
10. Study in blocks. Blocks require focus and set amounts of working time.
11. Ask for help. If you need support don't be afraid to ask teachers or friends for it.
12. Exercise. Exercise can really help you clear your mind and can improve efficiency of studying.
13. Record yourself. If you are trying to remember something specifically or a passage this can be effective.
14. Good lighting. If a room is well lit it becomes a more positive space and easier to see your notes.
15. Try to start studying early. Having more time means you won't be as stressed trying to fit in all the content towards the end.
16. Eat healthy food. Healthy food genuinely makes you feel better and less uncomfortable.
17. Use mind maps. This is especially effective for visual learners and can be stuck on walls and can be very helpful.
