Over time, I\u2019ve found a few simple techniques that help me focus better and understand my work. I wanted to share them here, hoping they might help you prepare for your tests without as much stress.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b> Study in Short Bursts (The Pomodoro Technique)<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sitting down to study for hours at once is tough and usually makes me tired. The Pomodoro Technique breaks study time into short, easy steps:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Focus completely for 25 minutes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Take a quick 5-minute break (stretch or get a glass of water).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Do this four times, then take a longer break of about 20 minutes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This keeps your mind fresh and helps you get more done in less time.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><b> The &#8220;Teach It&#8221; Trick<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sometimes it is believed that something is understood until it is attempted to be explained. A great way to check understanding is to pick a topic being studied and explain it out loud in simple words. If you get stuck or use complicated words, that means that you need to review that part again. Go back to notes and make sure those tricky sections are understood. If the explanation is simple and clear, the subject may be truly understood<\/span><b>!<\/b><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><b> Quiz Yourself frequently<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Just reading notes repeatedly may not effectively stick in memory. It can be useful to force your brain to remember information without looking at the book.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Instead of just reading:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use flashcards to quiz yourself.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Close the book and try to write down everything you remember about a topic.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Answer practice questions or old exam papers.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It may make the brain work harder during study time, but it may make the actual exam much easier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Good luck with your exams, everyone! I hope these strategies help you achieve your goals..<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by: Abdul Rehman Karimi (VI-A) \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 Hello everyone!
