Dream
A recent study found a correlation between students' grades and how much sleep they get. And it's not just about the number of hours, it's also about consistency. Getting a good night's sleep in the weeks leading up to an exam is important.
Change of scenery
Research shows that changing your study environment can improve your memory. Instead of studying at home every day, try going to a different cafe or library every week. Changing your environment improves both your memory and your concentration levels.
Study where you feel comfortable
Find your safe, productive place to study. This is important for reducing stress. This could be your desk at home or a table at your favorite cafe. The goal is to help you study productively in a comfortable environment.
Music
You can listen to any music you like. Classical and instrumental rhythms are considered more suitable for studying. Calm background music helps to focus on the current task. Songs with lyrics can be distracting.
Eliminate distractions
Turn off your phone and distracting background noises like the TV or radio. Make a pact with yourself not to check social media while you study.
Healthy snacks
Coffee and candy will only give you temporary satiation. This is due to the sharp drop in blood sugar. If you want to maintain mental clarity and motivation, choose healthy snacks such as apples or nuts.
