Helloooooooooo!!
Hey guys I've decided to start doing a lot more how to's and things like that on this blog. Today I shall be doing a HOW TO STUDY part 1 (I'll do a part 2 in the near future!). Studying is such a pain in the ass and sometimes it can be really hard to concentrate, so here is 10 ways that will hopefully help US ALL STUDY!!
Tip/ hack 1: GET COLOURFUL!! This helps a lot. When taking down notes, write them in different colours and highlight key points and words (don't highlight the whole page there will be no benefit from this). Also you can categorise things in different colours. eg . Gorge Washington notes in pink pen. Plantation notes in blue.
Tip/ hack 2: TURN OFF PHONES LAPTOPS TVS etc. I know this is realllly hard, but if you text or get distracted by something you'll spend 30 minutes 'studying' but not learning anything.
Tip / hack 3: Use the summery and revision questions. (these are both at the end of most chapters in text books). These are really handy because most of the time a chapter will be 10 pages long butttt... there is hope. Most chapters you can summarise into like 10 or 12 key points, that will probably be the main questions on the test. Also most revision questions are phrased like they will be on the tests!!
Tip/hack 4: Go back over old test. This helps because you can study things you struggled on and will get an idea on what the questions are going to be phrased like on the bigger exams.
Tip/hack 5: Use flashcards for voacb, definitions and even diagrams. Keep the points on your flashcards short and sweet. Stick to the main and most important bits!!
Tip/hack 6: Take breaks. for anywhere between 5-10 minutes. Take breaks after you finished one subject or you have done 30 minutes OF ACTUAL STUDYING AND LEARNING.
Tip/hack 7: Teach others. Teach your friends or even just pretend. This helps you remember things easier and will enable you to self-correct more easily.
Tip/hack 8: DON'T LEAVE EVERYTHING till last MINUTE. I do this all the time leave it till the night before or right before the test or exam. That really has no benefit at all. Start trying to study after you do your homework Pick 2 or 5 subjects a night and go over what you did in class or something you find difficult for 10 to 15 minutes, with 5 minute breaks in between each subject.
Tip/ hack 9: SET GOALS. Set goals for yourself. What grade to you hope to get. What to you hope to know? knowing all these types or questions helps. So you can work towards your goals!!!
Tip/ hack 10: mark important pages with post it notes. Also if you are writing quotes write what page they are on because if you can easily flip back and read over the page.
SIDE NOTE: I know the mocks are coming up (Irish peeps waassup) soon, try not to stress about them to much, just study hard and try your best (cause if you believe in yourself you will kick some ass in those exams). Also please remember your mental health is more important then school or any exam no matter what others say. Always try clear your mind even if its going out for a 10 minute walk or run. I love you guys stay strong. xx
That's all for now,
Over and Out,

PS. STAY STRONG xxxxx
