The common mistake that students make is that they start from page 1 of their textbooks and read till the last page. This malpractice is continuously addressed to be avoided as it drains students’ concentration levels. At the beginning the focus level is high but it diminishes as we study for an hour or 2 straight. So if we will waste the time on least important topics, our important topics will get skipped and preparation won’t get as effective as it should be to ace the exams.

Set deadlines for your tasks

Being a procrastinator is a common habit. Even those who used to be well aligned with their time, become sluggish when the period for a particular task increases. So to prevent this, it’s crucial that you set your daily deadlines and goals and try to meet them according to your stamina. Every student has a different stamina. Some can study 5 topics per day but some can only study 2 topics per day. Both are fine as long as you are regular with your tasks and assignments.

Active recall principal

The most effective way to remember something is the active recall of that. And the thing that matters the most is that you always stay in optimum state and with a positive mindset, self doubt is the killer of your thoughts so try to stay motivated and positivity will be attracted to you. When we study a topic for the first time with full concentration, it gets stored in our short-term memory. To get it stored in long-term memory, it is crucial that we effectively recall it whenever we get the time.

Conclusion

Studying for long hours is not important, but start studying effectively with the best strategy is crucial. Once you master this idea, no one can stop you from achieving your goals.
