Having
good study habits is essential for success when you’re looking to
study
abroad.
Although students have the habit of procrastinating and completing
assignments at the eleventh hour, having in place a few study habits
will help you long way at university. Even if it’s your finals or
your midterms, good study habits will help you in both situations.
If
you’re looking for a fix to help increase your grades and keep the
GPA up, this article is the right place to be. With a few study tips,
we’re sure that you will have a smooth university experience.
Organised
Organising
your resource material is of crucial importance. Use sticky notes and
highlighters to make classifications regarding the importance of your
notes. Keep your books in an organised manner, which will enable you
to find them with ease. Not just books any other material that you
need should be easily available to you. Making flashcards goes a long
way during exams. Education
abroad
is quite different from that over here. Self-learning is of immense
importance, therefore making flashcards will help you through the
exam process.
Apart
from organising your resource material, what you should also organise
is your calender. Making a list of all your commitments that include
social engagements, work commitments, deadlines to adhere to,
submissions to make will help you organise your month.
Disconnect
yourself
Although,
it sounds quite outrageous in today’s age to expect young adults to
refrain from using social media, it is the need of the hour. During
exams, limit the use of social media, it eats up a large chunk of
your day. Set yourself a target, upon completion of certain hours of
study you can use social media for a said duration. In the
contemporary world a large chunk of knowledge is often attained
through the internet. However, it can also be one of the greatest
mediums of distraction, students often find themselves lost in the
world of internet. Stay alert and don’t lose your focus when
studying.
Make
Notes
Enough
emphasis cannot be put on the importance of notes. Especially when
you’re attaining your education
abroad.
Apart from reference books, lectures are of immense significance.
Making notes of what the professor is saying is immensely critical.
Jotting down the important points during lecture will help you from
missing out on the critical pieces of information professors mention
off-hand during lectures. Making notes, is an art. Students are often
seen jotting nearly everything down, the trick here is to list only
the important things down. Filter what you think is necessary.
Moreover, if you ever think you have missed out on something, meet up
with the professors. They are extremely accommodating to the needs of
students and are ready to help. Apart from this, if permitted by the
lecturer you can record the lectures as well.
Don’t
put studies to the last minute
It
is tempting to put studies off till the last minute. Thinking you can
cram in all the studies you were required to do in a night. Avoid
doing so, it will not only get you overwhelmed but deter you from
putting in all the efforts you should actually be putting. Ease
yourself into the process of studying, not only will this save you
from exhaustion but also increase your chances of retention.
Find
the perfect study environment
Try
different types of environment to see which one works for you the
best. Some students enjoy the silence of the library whilst some
enjoy the bustle of a coffee shop, some also enjoy the sound of music
whilst others enjoy silence. See which works best for you. Apart from
the environment, timings are also crucial. Some students wake up
during the wee hours of the morning whilst others burn the midnight
oil studying. On the other hand, some enjoy studying during the
afternoon. What is good for others may not necessarily be good for
you. Find your mix and adhere to it.
Don’t
pressurize yourself
Time
management is extremely critical when studying overseas. Getting
overwhelmed when studying overseas is quite natural, don’t
pressurize yourself. Give yourself some time-off, take a break once
in a while to relax your mind. During your study sessions take a
break for a few minutes, it will help you stay alert and increase
your retention power.
