Don’t forget to review the material you learn while studying. Review of material is one of the most crucial factors in retention – there’s no sense studying things if you’re not going to remember them!
“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelict.”
-Calvin Coolidge
Disconnect when you are studying!
Log off social media and turn off your cell phone. Remember that the less distractions in front of you while you are studying, the better!
“The men who succeed are the efficient few. They are the few who have the ambition and willpower to develop themselves.”
-Herbert N. Casson, Canadian Journalist and Author
Stick to a schedule.
Be consistent each day in your studying, and try not to miss any planned days! This will help you create positive study habits, and meet your study goals.
Set your own stage for studying.
Eliminate distractions by surrounding yourself with only necessary study items. Use this setup each time you study, so that you always study in the optimal environment.
“The greatest mathematicians, as Archimedes, Newton, and Gauss, always united theory and applications in equal measure.”
-Felix Klein, German Mathematician
Stay organized, and set goals.
This helps you stay in control of the study process, and meet your own deadlines. Remember that every goal you meet is a step closer to your ultimate goal – passing the exam with flying colors!
Eliminate distractions while studying!
Whether it’s the TV in the background, or your cellphone buzzing, distractions will prevent you from studying as effectively as you can. Remember that studying deserves, and requires, your full attention.
