I really love aesthetically pleasing and organised desks, but most of the time mine looks like this. And who cares, as long as you’re getting things done, right? :) Have a nice weekend!

Honestly, figuring out how you study/learn best will affect whether big or small (you decide on that) how you’ll do whenever you have a test or a quiz and the results that come after. I’m pretty sure we all want to perform well on our tests so we find ways to do so.

We have all the resources; the books, the websites, the apps so it’s a matter figuring out the best way for us to study.

I’ve concluded that where you study, how you study, what you use to study and what you listen to when you study will help you perform best. 

1. Find the place most conducive for you to study. 

2. Choose/Use the study method that works for you. If you’re a visual or auditory, reading/writing or kinesthetic kind of learner, I think it will be best for you to use the methods for studying that work best on your type.

some posts you can refer to:

3. If you’re type that likes to use highlighters or coloured pens, find out which colour will help you remember best. The way you can determine this is only by your standards. What works best for me are yellow and green fluorescent  highlighters if the text is printed and accent colours if the text is handwritten. You’ll only really know what will work for you with trial and error so experiment. You probably will have an idea on which colours might work for you already so you can try testing it whenever you have a test or a quiz. Quiz if you aren’t comfortable in doing something what you might think might cost you before a test.

4. Are you the digital type, the printed type or handwritten type? What I’m trying to tell you is to use the means that will help you out most. For digital for example, you remember and understand things if you’re reading your notes from your tablet, ipad or computer. Printed is if typing your notes, then printing them and then reading them will help you out more or reading from the book and lastly handwritten, if you think reviewing what your studying for will require you to rewrite your notes, read from your notebook, make flashcards or make mind maps- that you of course hand-wrote will make you perform best in the test, then use whatever method is necessary for you.

5. Are you a solitary learner or a group learner? Do you study best if you work alone or do you have to have a study group with your friends? Work with whoever will help you whether it’s yourself or somebody else.

6. Listen to the sound perfect for you. Most people would listen to classical music some acoustics and others electronic music. I wouldn’t really recommend lyrical music because you end up thinking of the words sung in the song but if it works for you then go ahead. Like in number 3, You’ll only really know what will work for you with trial and error so experiment. You might already have an idea on which might work on you best so choose the best time for you to test it.

some playlists/playlist masterposts for you:

spotify has a lot playlists so you know pick one that interests you and try it out. Music doesn’t work on all people so experiment as well if you work better without.

That’s all I have to say mostly. Manipulate the circumstances whenever you study so you can be at your best when the exam comes. I hope this will have helped you. This is only part of how well we perform on a test. I’m sure we all know that. We still have to sleep early, stay hydrated and eat to keep us at your peak while we study. How we feel particularly on that day and at those moments before and while we take our test also determine our performance so we manage the aspects that we can. 

I hope you all slay your exams get the grades you wish to get with all your hard work.
