Study smarter, not harder! ✅💯🧠👩🏼‍🎓 - What is Active Study? 📝 These are study methods that force you to engage with the content, doing some sort of physical or mental process. 🤓 It leads to greater retention of info, understanding, and ability to apply theory! It also means that you can learn SO MUCH MORE in MUCH LESS time. ✅ Examples include: 🧠 Active Recall (e.g. Flashcards, Blurting, Application Questions) 🧠 Mind-Maps & Drawing Diagrams 🧠 Teaching The Material to Others 🧠 Loci Method 🧠 Practice Exams - #studyhacks #studyhack #studywithme #studytok #studysmarter #examready #examtips

The most COMMON reason why students fail their exams 😭 - What is APPLICATION? 🤔 This is where you do practice questions (from the textbook, past year exams, or online resources) to learn how to understand APPLY content rather than simply rote learn it. Why Do We Need It? 🤷🏼‍♀️ You could memorise the entire textbook and every piece of content for your exam, and still not be able to answer a single question. This is because exams often get you to apply the information you’ve learnt to real-life problems, rather than just asking for rote-learned definitions. These examples often change year to year, so you CAN’T memorise every single possible example. Doing application questions is exactly how you can develop this skill, and be able to apply the info you’ve learnt to ANY situation or example that you might encounter on the exam. It will lead to MUCH better performance on your exams, but also in the real world and to real-life problems 💯 - #studytok #studyhacks #studytips #examready #examrevision

Don’t worry, the solutions are simple!! ⬇️✅💯🧠 - 1️⃣ Studying without a plan - without a plan, it’s very easy to get distracted, or to waste time on lower yield content or tasks that you don’t necessarily need to do but find easier. Whilst you might still be getting work done, this doesn’t necessarily mean you’re making the best use of your time, and you may run out of time for the really important stuff 😳 ✅ Solution? ✅ Plan your study sessions before starting 📝 By doing so, you will be able to prioritise what needs to be done, stay focused and on track, and even get additional benefits without more time studying! . 2️⃣ Studying in your room - your brain associates your bedroom with sleep & relaxation, and therefore when you study in your room (especially in your bed), it’ll signal to your body that it’s time to rest, making it extremely hard to study. 😩 . Plus, studying in bed makes it hard to set up appropriately for effective work (eg there’s no solid surface to write on, leaning over will lead to poor posture & back pain etc) 🫣 ✅ Solution? ✅ Have a designated area in the house that is solely for studying 🏡. If you don’t have the luxury of a study room, try to set up a desk in the lounge or dining room & use noise cancelling headphones OR go to a local library/cafe. . 3️⃣ Studying only 1 subject each time - if studying the same subject over a long period of time, it can get quite tedious, wear you out, and cause you to lose focus. It might also cause you to get the concepts muddled up with each other 😭 ✅ Solution? ✅ Use Interleaving 📆 Instead of studying one subject for the entire study session, switch between multple non-related subjects. For example, instead of 3 hours of Math, try 1 hour of Math, 1 hour of English, and 1 hour of Chemistry. Interleaving improves retention of information & exam performance (without need to study any longer). It is thought to do so because it helps you differentiate between what you learnt for each subject. - #studyhacks #studytips #studytok #studentlife #studentproblems
