Hie there! First of all, do you actually understand what you're studying about? It's no use if you study and memorise something without understanding what the subject matter is about. Food and drinks help to improve the efficiency of your brain, but if the process itself is inefficient, then no amount of eating will help you. In most cases, try to do a lot of exercises regarding your subjects before you sit for the exams. In Maths, doing plenty of exercises help you prepare. For literature, they train your mind to think outside of the usual interpretations. If all fails, join a study group. They'll be able to tutor you and help you with your weak subjects. I hope that helps!

There are some tricks in studying For example if you are studying a important and interesting topic.... Read line to line and understand it now prepare some small questions on that part and answer it = You will never forget that concept. At the same time you will come to know how the questions to be framed and how the answer should be for the question. So 75% of the job is over... Also if you are studying a non interesting topic then make one of your friend or teacher or elder to mark the important lines in the topic then it is easy for you to remember those lines simply memorising it for a short period. Also get help to make it explained by someone = You can frame your own sentences as answer

Well we are all different in our own ways, but I hope that I can help! I usually study last minute! That I find is the best way for me to pass a test. If I have until the end of the week to study then I would start by Friday. I am taking online classes so that is why I have a week to accomplish all my required assignments. Don’t get me wrong I don’t wait till the last minute for it all, I just basically skim through my books before I lay to sleep and often write about the things I have read the night before. I use the MS Word as a journal for me to keep all my thoughts about the subjects I need to learn, it really helps! Then at the last minute I would study from my journal and it is easier for me to learn because it if from my perspective. At this point my GPA is 3.07 Well Good Luck!

hmp... there are strengths and weaknesses in every student... i know there's a subject where you get good greades... all you have to do is to keep on achieving goals... you may start on having a list of tasks to do and check every task that you complete. then... you do advance studying like a week before exam... then review it all a day before... hmp... you should also have a dream to achieve that could make your energy go up on studying and could give you inspiration on achieving higher... never be contented on having fair grades.. that could make you fail... hahaha.. be a leader on your self... have the confidence that you can have whatever you want and you can hit the red apple of your target... i wish yo luck on your studies
