Frequently asked questions

Develop an effective note-taking system that works for you. This could involve using different colors for key points, dates, and definitions, or creating visual aids like mind maps and diagrams to make information more memorable. Practice active listening and pay attention to the teacher’s emphasis to identify what’s important.

Create a study schedule and stick to it. Find a quiet, well-lit place at home where you can focus without distractions. Break down large tasks into smaller, manageable chunks and set achievable goals. Use the Pomodoro technique, which involves studying for 25 minutes, then taking a short break, to stay focused and productive.

Before diving into a new chapter, skim through it first. Look at the headings, subheadings, bolded words, and summary to get an overview of the content. This helps you understand the context and makes it easier to absorb information as you read further. Take notes directly onto the textbook by highlighting important passages and writing marginal notes.

Break down complex topics into simpler parts. Start with the basics and build your understanding step-by-step. Use analogies and relate concepts to real-life examples to make them easier to grasp. Don’t be afraid to ask for help from teachers or classmates when needed.

Set short-term and long-term goals, such as improving your grade in a particular subject or developing better study habits. Reward yourself when you achieve these goals. Stay organized by using planners or apps to keep track of assignments and deadlines. Maintain a positive attitude and surround yourself with like-minded peers who encourage and inspire you.
