5 Study Tips Every Student Must Know

 

1. Use Active Recall

Instead of just re-reading notes, test yourself. Try to recall the information from memory—it strengthens neural connections and improves retention.

Tip: Use flashcards or quiz yourself after each chapter.


2. Practice Spaced Repetition

Spread out your studying over days or weeks rather than cramming. Reviewing material over time helps move knowledge into long-term memory.

Tip: Use apps like Anki or Quizlet to automate spaced reviews.


3. Teach What You Learn

If you can explain a concept in your own words (as if teaching someone else), you understand it well.

Tip: Teach a friend or even your pet—it still works! 


4. Eliminate Distractions

Find a quiet space and put your phone on Do Not Disturb or use apps like Forest or Focus Keeper to stay on task.

Tip: Study in 25-minute blocks with 5-minute breaks (Pomodoro Technique).


5. Stay Consistent, Not Perfect

It’s better to study for 30 minutes a day consistently than pull all-nighters. Build a routine that you can stick with.

Tip: Set realistic daily goals like “Review 2 chapters” or “Study for 1 hour.”
