Do you feel more focused in the morning, afternoon or evening? Draw a timetable and stick to a study schedule. Find spaces where you can be the most focused and productive.

Effective note taking can make all the difference. Using highlighters is a good advice from Antonietta Gonzáles Rosas (facebook fan); also, make a habit to review your notes soon after class, and briefly before the next class. At the end of the week, take some time for a longer review. “…I never start writing the answer after reading the questions. My first thing would be breaking down the question into bullet points to make sure I answer all issues raised in the question”.

“Draw a mind map on the topic given and elaborate the points, ask question on the topic you are weak at, (and) prepare a pocket note where you can carry everywhere”.

If you don’t understand the study materials, don’t just re-read it. Try something else. Consult with your teacher, tutors or classmates. 4. FORM A STUDY GROUP
Try studying in a group of 3; divide the chapters into 3 parts and each member is in-charge of one part. Revise the materials
