25 STUDY TIPS FROM STUDYIGNS SUBSCRIBERS

01. On the weekends, study in the morning. Your brain is fresh and reenergized when you first wake up, and I
have found myself retaining more, focusing more, and getting a lot more done overall ~ @sophiammeyers

02. Review and revise as much as you can. Keep going over your notes or material often. It doesn't necessarily
mean to memorize them, but just read through them before bed or something. This especially applies to
moments during the end of semesters when the information taught in the beginning of the semester
becomes hazy or hard to remember. If you keep reading your notes every once in awhile, even for things
you have already finished, it will help to recall information better when you need to ~ @med-study

03. Copy and paste essays and graded written work into Google Translate then click the audio button to get it to
read the content back to you with headphones. Its very useful if you're in a library/other quiet place and can't
read work out loud to check for typos and spelling ~ @studylikecharlesxavier

04. When you are studying for a big test or exam, don't feel like there's a certain number of days ahead or an
exact amount of time you should be studying - that's very dependent on how well you retain information and
concepts. Make a list of topics on the exam, evaluate your familiarity with them, and then develop a study
plan based on that ~ @studypunked

05. Have a minimalistic and clear workspace. It's much easier to work when you have the space to spread out
and have very few distractions at arm's reach. Cultivate a workspace where you feel at ease and can focus
~ @studyblr-teablr + @anotations

06. Albert Einstein once said "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." My study tip
operates around this idea. Whenever I'm studying for a test with multiple units or concepts involved, I like to
do small verbal summaries after I finish studying each unit or concept. After you finish the section after, go
back to the first section and try to summarize it again, but make the summary shorter. As you continue to do
this as you finish more sections, you'll be cementing the key concepts in your brain ~ @studyblrholla

07. When I don't feel productive I always go for a quick shower and have a cold glass of water. It always makes
me feel refreshed and ready to fight the battles of work! ~ @hannahbananastudies

08. A study tip that helps me is if you're trying to memorize something, particularly the steps to something, is
come up with motions for each step. Getting your body involved can help you memorize it especially if you're
a kinesthetic learner ~ @gmill2415

09. Study on the go - I can always find an extra few minutes throughout my day when I'm out and about,
whether I'm waiting in line for food or waiting for class to start. I use the Tinycards and Quizlet apps, and I
also keep mini flash cards with a binder ring in my purse/on my keychain ~ @shavhhhstudy + @xblurryfxcex
+ @florencestudies

10. Talk to yourself! Yes, it sounds dumb, but it does work. Once you've finished reading over your notes,
imagine you're repeating them back to someone as a lecturer or making a video about the subject. Try to
make it entertaining and link in some examples from own life (it lets you process things semantically, which
is psychologically the best way to be able to recall information). It helps if you do this a couple of times
because practice makes perfect! ~ @billiestudies

11. Use a browser extension to block distracting websites while doing work on your computer!~ @writtenrain

12. Write down things you have to do! Use a bullet journal or planner if that's your style, but write down the
homework you get when you get it and try to plan your afternoon/evening around what you have to do and
how difficult it is. It makes your homework time a lot less stressful if you know what you have to get done
and when ~ @penguin-emma

13. Keep a bookmark folder of things that motivate you/are the reasons why you're studying so when you're in a
working slump you can browse through the links really quickly and center yourself again. I like to keep mine
small and only things I know will truly motivate me, like a link my dream school's home page, a blog post
about the career I am working towards, a really meaningful quote, etc ~ @codelesstravelled
14. Move while reading your notes. This works when you are getting sleepy at night and there's one more
chapter: a few squats or jumping jacks may keep you awake and alert ~ @lilperfectionist

15. For each test, make a study guide and write it in a single notebook. Make sure to also give examples and of
the information you are going to need for each section. Then when midterms or finals or state exams come,
you have one notebook with all the important information for that subject, instead of rifling through a bunch
of papers and notes from throughout the year ~ @postses + @linmanulmiranda

16. If you have a super important test the next morning that you forgot to study for, instead of cramming all night
and not getting much sleep, go to bed a little earlier than normal. Then get up earlier too. Have a good
breakfast and relax. Then do your studying. Then the information will be fresh in your mind, and you won't
be exhausted ~ @urlocalwannabe

17. Find someone whos willing to spend up to an hour listening to you teach them about a thing, and once you
feel youve mastered the material, teach it to them. I usually do this by going up to a friend/parent/etc and
being like Hey, do you want to hear something interesting? and then explain whatever Im trying to
remember for a test or essay to them. Teaching, Ive found, ensures that the person in question truly
understands the concepts that theyre discussing ~ @cozycanyons

18. In the search bar of google, type in the name of the course youre taking in brackets + the word exams, and
after add edu. This will give you past exams for that course which you could use to study ~ @olivescience

19. If you ever feel like not studying, just try to do at least a little bit, like maybe a paragraph of reading, or one
math problem. Chances are you'll continue, since the hardest part is starting. Most procrastination is in your
head so you just gotta get through that wall! ~ @localtinyplanetexplorer

20. Focus on improving a specific skill that will then boost your performance in multiple classes (writing, speed
reading, mental math, etc.). It's not really studying per se, but is a good way to improve overall grades if you
see that you're doing poorly at one kind of work ~ @robyn

21. If you don't need your electronics (computer, phone, tablet, etc.), PUT IT AWAY. I have a drawer under my
workspace where I can put my computer, and I find that it makes it easier to focus if I have more room on
top of the desk and if I don't see my electronics. You could also put electronics on airplane mode or just turn
off the wi-fi ~ @procrastinator-rehab + @quienlia

22. You can rewrite the first draft of your notes you made in class to remember the topics better. This way, you
can also decorate and color coordinate your notes to help you in revising ~ @herondaleheaven

23. Put sticky notes all over the house on places like the fridge, microwave, and doors with a word/term on
them, so when Im about to open something, I have to say the definition first, which works really well if you
have a ton of vocabulary to remember ~ @saffmaeve

24. One of my tips for studying is to divide up your time when studying and to include your breaks! I personally
write down what subjects i'm going to study and for how long. I also write down when I'm going to take a
break ~ @meaganmabilangan

25. Don't be afraid to ask for help. If your parents can't help you with a math or homework problem, ask your
teacher or tutor. Not only will it help you learn, but also if you tell your teacher, he/she will know you are
trying to do better, thus giving you more attention in helping you. It is better to ask for help than just getting a
bad grade~ @hldominguez
