1. Make Notes-

2. Water on Study table :
Bring water to your study table and keep drinking it in every short break you take from the study.
Water makes up about 80 percent of the brain and is essential in neurological transmissions. Poor hydration affects mental performance and learning ability by reducing the brain’s ability to transmit and receive information.
Studies show that once thirst is felt, mental performance including memory, attention and concentration decreases by as much as 10 percent. Increased dehydration will cause even greater loss of mental performance.
3. Time Management-
Use time at your hand wisely and avoid procrastination.
Do you study for hours without taking a break? Break out of this habit. It is the wrong strategy.
Strike a balance between your studies and your time off. Do not let it become monotonous. Do not get too pressurized. It will deteriorate your performance. Whenever you feel mentally exhausted, close your books and enjoy. Watch television, go out, and refresh yourself to tackle the next set of studies.
Another simple tip is to complete the difficult tasks in the beginning. You will feel confident and an easy task would seem like a piece of cake, thereafter.
Have you ever tried to break lengthy assignments or papers into smaller parts? Start doing it. Complete each small section as an individual section and notice the difference.
It will improve your concentration level tremendously.
4. Magic of the Textbook-
If you do not study from the textbook, it needs to change. They are an essential source of information and provided for a referral to help you to understand intricate work easily. Go through the chapters thoroughly, note down the important points, and make a summary of the chapter so that you know it well.
5. Do not hesitate-
Are you often silent during the class?
Do you hesitate to clarify concepts that you do not understand? Quit this habit.
Communicate your confusion to your tutor.
It is extremely important to clear your notions. Ask repeatedly until you are satisfied. No teacher will refuse to help you with your studies. An inquisitive student who shows interest in their work is appreciated by all teachers.
6. Test Practice-

9. Every paper has a place-
Organize all your test papers, your homework, your study material methodically and keep them in a proper place. If they are in an orderly manner, studying becomes easy.
