study tips?

The best tip I got was to study days or even weeks before the teacher starts discussing the topic. Most students tend to study only one night before the exams. They may be able to score high on the exam but only a portion of what they've read will be retained. The cycle goes on and they end up absorbing less than what they ought to study in the first place.

thanks for the topic, really needed some tips too :)

hi tsuktsak here is a nice article to help you a lot happy mylotting When it comes to enhancing memory there are many approaches one can take with varying benefit. Looking for powerful ways to boost your brain doesn't have to be complicated. With advances in modern medicine and our understanding of how the brain works, we are armed with greater knowledge of what an individual can do to strengthen their brain while enhancing memory. There are some obvious things one can do, whether you're enhancing short term memory or long term. The most basic step is usage. The old adage of "use it or loose it" does apply when talking about enhancing memory. The more you perform tasks or projects that require you to actively work your memory the stronger that part of your brain becomes. Studies have shown that adults that actively work word or memory puzzles into their later years continue to have better recall than those who don't actively work their memory. Exercise, both physical and mental is a memory enhancing necessity. Exercise promotes blood circulation which provides much needed oxygen to the brain keeping it functioning well. Mental exercise, not just the regular usage mentioned above, but continuing to stretch your mind, learn new things, read difficult books, etc. all help to stimulate the brain and keep it healthy. Enhancing memory requires that you continuously work on improving your overall thinking skills and cognitive function. Enhancing short term memory may also require basic repetition. It is not without reason that we tend to repeat phone numbers, etc. many times over after we hear them. It is part of the natural way that our brains help retain the information and eventually move it to longer term memory. Memory enhancing may also benefit from some less well known help. One of the increasingly popular and beneficial ways that people are enhancing memory is by the use of brain focused supplements. With the increase in our understanding of how the brain works and the growth of the natural supplement industry many manufacturers are making supplements that target specific factors of brain health. The key ingredients in supplements of quality by enhancing short term memory and long term memory by supporting brain health, increasing blood flow and boosting cellular functioning in the brain. Supplements that focus on memory enhancing will contain key ingredients like: B complex vitamins which help the body provide energy to cells and supports nervous system cell health, compounds like Phosphatidyl Choline which helps the body produce acetylcholine a neurotransmitter that allows nerve cells to function and herbs such as Ginkgo Biloba and Ginseng which improves blood flow to the brain and antioxidant protection of cells. When looking for supplements for enhancing memory it is important that they contain these ingredients at a minimum. Look also for companies with a solid history, using pure ingredients. Supplements have become safer and more effective as research has allowed manufacturers to refine their products. However, as with anything that relates to your health it may be wise to consult with a doctor familiar with natural supplements when considering what to add to your diet. Enhancing short term memory through active use of your memory, exercise and the use of brain focused supplements will put you well on your way to securing your memory and mental ability. J.

Its better to have an advance reading before going to class. Then while your professor is discussing your subject close your books and just listen and pay attention on what he is saying while taking down notes, especially if they emphasize on a certain topic. Because it's surely be included in your exams.

You naturally remember things when you enjoy them. That's why you can learn the lyrics of a song after the second time you listen to it. Anyway, try to make your learning enviornment more fun for you. Make it worth while. If you can find some way to connect what your learning to something you like. That's what I do and I don't have to study that much because my method seems to work for me.

the first thing i'll ensure that my surrounding is quiet.. then, i'll make a cup of coffee and start studying when i'm sure that i'm already calm.. then, while 'm reading, i'll try my best not to let my mind gets carried away with other things or problems.

I remember things by making stupid sentences where each word begins with a word that has the same letter as the word I have to remember. Lets make example. I had to learn to count up to ten on Latin not so long ago. (I'm not sure if I'm writing it correctly) They are mono, di, tri, tetra, penta, hexa, hepta, octa and deca. That could be like: Mom drove to Thailand and put her hand on a door. It's my way to remember things.

hmmm... when i study i usually listen to classical music.. like Mozart, Pachabel... especially those slow and calming songs... they help me concentrate and it also helps me not to panic. Try it!

1. eat a balanced diet. 2. exercise regularly. 3. sleep well. 4. read books regularly. don't stop enhancing your knowledge. 5. have time for leisure. 6. take down notes. listen to the teacher. 7. pray always. GOD BLESS!!

Concentration goes a long way in deciding how well and how much you retain of what you read. For me the best way to enhance concentration is to have a healthy, regular habit of reading story books, or for that matter anything under the sun. That keeps the mind glued to texts on pages. Apart from that, i refresh my mind through listening to music. That helps me to keep calm in tough times.
