All students have to devote a lot
of time to your studies but most of you find it impossible
to finish the given task or assignments. From where then
you can find time for study? For this there is no magic
formula but the formation of correct study habits. This
will keep you free from anxiety and give a feeling of
confidence.
Study Conditions
Avoid all distractions: Do not let your mind wander
or be distracted from what you are doing. For this,
select a quiet place.
Keep ready all the materials you might require close
at hand so that you do not waste time and energy looking
for it.
Study under proper light, for poor light tires the
eyes and you lose concentration.
Have proper ventilation, for fresh air keeps the
mind alert.
Make a plan for study
Keep in maid that what you have to study, how much
you have study and time you have. Have a balance between
leisure and study. Organize a timetable in such a way
that you have fun and sufficient time for study. "All
work and no play makes Jack dull boy". Fun is essential
because an exhausted mind cannot absorb what you study.
Decide when to study and what to study. Make a
weekly time table. It is better to have a short frequent
period for each subject than long hours for one. Start
with interesting easy lessons/topics and then go on to
difficult ones unless they are interconnected.
Pay total attention to what you are studying. You
will absorb more and understand better.
Do not study when you are tired. Relax with
something light for short while and come back to
studies. But do not confuse laziness and tiredness.
Understand the material you have to learn as a
whole.
Re-learn and revise previous lessons frequently. If
you have learnt mathematical formula or grammar rules
practice their use for, practice makes it perfect.
Do not try to learn everything by heart. Read the
chapter carefully, understand the ideas and write the
essential points.
Do not learn notes but get the most important points
and put them down in order under headings and
sub-headings.
During the weekend, set aside sometime to go over
the week's work concentrating on points you had not
grasped.
Regularity and Concentration are Key
