Study for Tests Tips

Preparing for exams?

Give yourself the best chance with these top study tips.

• One. Give yourself enough time to study. Don’t leave it until the last minute. • Two. Organize your study space. Try and get rid of all distractions, and make sure you feel as comfortable and able to focus as possible. • Three. Use flow charts. Visual aids can be really helpful when revising. • Four. Practice on old exams. This helps you get used to the format of the question, and if you time yourself, can also be a good practice for making sure you spend the right amount of time on each section. • Five. Organize study groups with friends. You may have questions they have the answers to and vice versa. • Six. Take regular breaks. Studies have shown that for the long-term retention of knowledge, taking regular breaks really helps. • Seven. Snack on brain food. Keep your body and brain well-fueled by choosing nutritious foods that have been proven to aid concentrations and memory such as fish, nuts, seeds, yogurt, and blueberries. • Eight. Plan your exam day. Check all the rules and requirements and plan your route and journey time. • Nine. Use an environmental “trigger.” Research shows that recreating the study environment as much as possible when testing increases information recall.
