Could you share five study tips? :)
Hi! I hope you find these helpful :D
1. Write (or rewrite) important points and information. Iba pa rin yung sulat-kamay. Write on yellow pad, or index cards, or notebooks, or readings. Basta wag yung itatype mo lang lahat.
2. Organize ideas into mental maps. For term-heavy material, know how many terms you need to know per category and subcategory (and of course, what they mean), and how they relate to one another.
3. Use mnemonics, so that when you forget certain concepts, they'll be easier to retrieve from your long-term memory. Kahit sobrang pilit na, gawa ka pa rin. Minsan, mas matatandaan mo pa yung pilit na mnemonic kasi mas pinaghirapan mo syang gawin. :))
4. Find reasons to study. Kahit anong rason kahit mababaw. Mga halimbawa: para mapansin ni crushie pag maayos sumagot sa recitation, para mataasan si frenemy, para matandaan ka ni prof in a positive way kahit tapos na yung sem, para mahanap ang kabuluhan sa buhay, etc.
5. Sleep before exams. We need sleep to consolidate the information we put into our heads, and if you pull off a legit all-nighter, you risk wasting your study time. I'm sure there are people out there who can choose to not sleep and study instead and perform well, but not all of us are built for that lifestyle. Personally, if I had to choose between two hours of sleep and two hours of studying, assuming I haven't slept yet and the exam is first thing in the morning, I would choose sleep. Aanhin ko yung natapos ko yung coverage kung masyado naman akong sabaw para maalala yun.
^ ayun, my own study tips. You'll probably find other strategies that fit you better, but there. :))
