Some More Detailed Tips

Step 1 is called studying in Chunks.


This techniques says that, you should study for 25 minutes take a 5 minute break and then repeat this 3 times over and then take a long up break. But i don't think 25 minutes will be your perfect chunk of time. So how do you find your chunk of time ?
I would take a book and start reading and the moment I find myself getting distracted or dozing off, i will press that timer and hurrah, that's my perfect chunk of time. Now chances are that when you complete that single chunk of time with could be 25 minutes, for example you haven't totally finish that topic of concept, and that's actually good thing because Now the Zeigarnik effect  will come into play, which states the  human brain tends to remember incomplete and unfinished tasks much better than it does completed tasks. So while you take that 5 minutes break your brain is going to process that unfinished tasks or concept and when you get back to it in the second lot of 25 minutes, you are going to have much more clarity smart study technique.


Step 2 is called 20% Read 80% Recite 


Sometimes I find that we read the entire day we go from one subject to the next but we are either reading from the book or from a laptop, and the brain gets so bored, tyred that it totally stops paying attention.
Now how about this, you read a concept close your book, ask yourself question and try to answer it without opening that book back in your own words. and related back to concept perhaps that you have learned some time back and the perfect smart study tips is 20% read 80% revised, and also try to come up with your own examples to understand every concept and don't forget to go back and check with your teacher that your examples are relevant for that causes.


Step 3 is called spaced repetition 


Now instead of spending the whole day going over one single topic, how about you study one concept and then change the topic. and you come back maybe later for the next day and go over the concept a little bit and then switch to the next concept. so what happen when you repeat that concept over a few days and a few times and that's what we call spaced repetition. Now the Mind learns the concept better when you go for it over and over again. problem spending a large amount of time on a single day trying to attack that concept.
Also varying the topics and even subjects helps the brain sometimes to interlink concepts between topics and subjects and that's a great way also to solidify your understanding.


Step 5 is called notes 


Now one clever way to save your time is to go over your class notes within minutes of the class getting over. And what you need to do is just browse over those notes and put whatever  is still stuck in your head and you haven't been able to write it down put all that information quickly on the paper so when you go back later on an open those notes  will be complete and this is one really really special smart study tip that will help you save a huge amount of time.
