A good study tip is to always use the study resources available to you. A lot of people make the mistake of only studying with the notes and handouts given in class, but the thing to remember is that these are only a base, which needs to be built on by you.
Study Tips
All the help you could need for successful study.
Let The Post-Its Take Over
Do any of you, like me, hate it when teachers give you lists of information to memorise? For me, these lists usually consist of different illnesses and their symptoms, the names of various nerves and the areas of the body they innervate, or the latest one, a list of bodily hormones and their functions.
The Sweet Treat Solution
You have an exam coming up and you know you need to study. So go study. But you can’t. You can’t drag yourself off of that comfy sofa, pull yourself away from the telly and get your books out. I know how you feel.
The Sleeping Studier
It has been known for years that taking short naps in between your study sessions can sharpen your memory and hence make it easier to remember class material. But why does sleeping have such an effect on your ability to remember?
Starting Ahead Of Time
One of the sentences you are bound to hear a million times over, whilst a student, is “Don’t leave it to the last minute”.
Lifting The Language Barrier
The one question I get asked a lot by people I’ve just met is “Was it difficult for you to learn the language, when you first moved to Spain?”. The honest answer is yes, it was very hard. It took me two years just to get up the confidence to start a chit-chat conversation with someone. Up until that point I’d been getting by on only talking when I had to; in answer to a question, or to ask something essential.
Talking To An Empty Room
In my opinion, the hardest part of studying is trying to remember all the tiny, little details that accompany the core of the course material. They’re the easiest thing to forget and I find that I often manage to confuse them all in my head, to the point where I associate the wrong details with the wrong topic!
BUT there is a way of making this part of studying a little bit easier.
