Study tips and techniques

Want to make the most of their study time and get better grades at school, here are a list of study tips to help you develop a learning strategy to achieve your study goals:

Set study goals
There is lots of credible research suggesting that goal setting can be used as part of a strategy to help people successfully effect positive changes in their lives, so never underestimate the power of identifying to yourself the things you want to achieve.

Just make sure to ask yourself some key questions: Am I setting realistic goals? Will I need to work harder to achieve those goals? If you’re happy with the goals you’ve set then you should aim to develop your study plan with your goals in mind.

Make a study plan
Time is precious. Nobody is more aware of this than the student who hasn’t studied a thing until the night before an exam. By then, of course, it’s too late. The key to breaking the cycle of cramming for tests is to think ahead and create an effective study plan.

Not only will this help you get organised and make the most of your time, it’ll also put your mind at ease and eliminate that nervous feeling you get when you walk into an exam knowing that you’re not at all prepared. As the old saying goes, fail to prepare and be prepared to fail.
