Tomorrow is an exam and you didn't prepare for it because you didn't have time or you put off studying until later? You can prepare for the exam in one day if you are disciplined and attentive. It is better to prepare in advance, for example, a week before the exam, but there are situations when this cannot be done. In this article, we will tell you how to prepare for the exam in one day.
Steps
Environment
- Study somewhere quiet and peaceful, such as a private room or a library.
-
Prepare everything you need. Before you begin to study the material, prepare everything you may need, such as textbooks, notes, markers, a computer, a light snack and water.
- Remove everything that will distract you.
-
Turn off your phone. If you don’t need your smartphone to study, turn it off so that it doesn’t distract you from studying the subject. So you can focus solely on the material being studied.
Consider whether you should study on your own or in a group. Since time is limited, it's probably best to study on your own, but sometimes it's helpful to study the material in a small group to better understand the concepts and terms. If you decide to work in a group, make sure that it consists of people who are as prepared as you are; otherwise, the efficiency of work in the group will not be very high.
Learn to work effectively with a textbook. You will not remember the material if you just read the textbook (especially if your time is limited). When reading a textbook, pay special attention to summary chapters and key information in bold type.
- Find the questions that are given after each chapter (or at the end of the textbook). Try to answer these questions to test yourself and understand what you should learn.
-
Create tutorial. It will allow you to better understand the material and quickly review it on the day of the exam. In the study guide, fill in the most important concepts, terms, dates, and formulas and try to state the main concepts in your own words. Self-formulation of concepts and writing them down on paper will allow you to better understand and remember the material.
- If you don't have time to create a study guide, ask a friend or classmate for one. But it will be better if you create your own study guide, as stating and writing down the main concepts will help you remember the information better.
-
Prepare for the appropriate exam format. If you are pressed for time, be sure to keep the format in mind when preparing for the exam. Ask your teacher about the format of the exam or look in the curriculum, or ask your classmates.
Find a suitable place to practice. Nothing and no one should distract you - neither friends, nor any objects in your bedroom. Find a study area where you can focus on the material you are learning.
Lesson plan
Create a lesson plan. Include material that will definitely be on the exam, such as important dates, certain scientific concepts, math formulas or equations. If you don't know what will be asked on the exam, ask your classmates. To pass the exam successfully, it is important to know what material you need to learn (especially when time is limited).
Create a class schedule. Schedule the whole day leading up to the exam and determine the hours that you will devote to studying the material. Don't forget to make time for sleep.
Create a list of topics to study. Review the textbook, study guide and notes and write down the topics that will be present on the exam.
The anecdote that a student can learn Chinese overnight became a boyan almost under our great-grandfathers. And although not all students, when preparing for exams, choose the sprint strategy, it is still the image of the poor fellow, squeezing a textbook into his skull on the night before the exam, that dominates the mass perception of the session.
Getting ready overnight is an act of student prowess, an act of bravado. It's like eating a pot of pasta without sauce and oil. The student must be hungry and remember the exam on the eve of it! In fact, of course, student life is not so extreme, but there are enough sprinters at any faculty.
Where do they come from? A significant part of the sprinters are idlers and freeloaders. But there are also many born sprinters-deadline workers who manage to pass exams with excellent marks. Psychologists say that these homo sapiens have a strong impulsive component of temperament. They are spurred on by an adrenaline rush.
By the way, if the sprint strategy for preparing for the exam is already good (with all its many shortcomings), it’s because you don’t need to specifically work on motivation, like or. And so the adrenaline through the roof.
So, how can you optimize your exam preparation process if you are a born (or forced to become) sprinter? How to prepare for the exam in a day? Per day? Or even overnight?
16 Exam Preparation Tips for the Incorrigible Sprinter
- Need to sleep! Sounds ridiculous, especially if you're going to sit through textbooks and lectures all night. However, we are absolutely serious. If you remembered the exam not at midnight before it, but a little earlier, prepare for the sprint with a quality rest. After returning from a party, preparing for an exam is much more difficult.
Do not forget also that it is sleep that is our main assistant in fixing information in long-term memory. Surely you have heard about the sign - they say, you need to fall asleep before the exam with a textbook under your pillow. This sign has a powerful psychological basis. Therefore, it is best to prepare for the exam during the day, and sleep at night and consolidate what you have learned.
If you are still preparing for the exam at night, sleep in the morning for 1.5 or 3 hours. This will help activate the processes of "tamping", assimilation of information. Why exactly 1.5 or 3 hours? Because . Wake up easier, better rest.
- An equally important task is not to fall asleep! In preparation. Coffee, dark chocolate are the classics of nightly pre-exam vigils. Interestingly, cappuccino, latte or regular coffee with milk or condensed milk work even better than espresso, as they are stimulated not only by caffeine, but also by a powerful dose of carbohydrates.
Try not to abuse energy drinks, after all, these redbulls are harmful to the body. But if you decide to spur yourself on energy drinks, then don’t drink coffee, just one thing. The same goes for Coca-Cola: by mixing it with coffee, you run the risk of having a heart attack in the hospital, and not at the examiner's appointment. Or or.
Is it worth stimulating the brain medicines? Is that eleutherococcus, ginseng and safe nootropics ("Glycine", "Piracetam", which are sold in pharmacies without a prescription). But the problem is that these funds need to be taken in courses, the effect will be noticeable after 2-3 weeks. On the Internet, you can find such advice: they say, if you decide to prepare for the exam in 1 day or overnight, gobble up a couple of Glycine tablets. So, if you have never taken this drug before, you should not experiment. You can get the opposite effect:
- What to eat during the sprint preparation for the exam? Nuts are the best refueling. A great snack for a student immersed in learning is a sandwich of whole grain bread, honey and nuts. Salmon and avocado sandwiches are good for snacking. Another option is sandwiches with noble cheese (with mold), honey and pear / grapes.
If you are preparing for an exam in the afternoon, be sure to start the day with a healthy energy breakfast (this will start metabolic processes and make the brain work more efficiently). Lunches and dinner should give energy, but not be dense and greasy: otherwise it will make you sleepy.
- Rest! Yes, yes, you need to give yourself a little rest, even if you only have 8 to 12 hours to prepare for the exam. During each hour, set aside 5 to 10 minutes for rest:
- Meditation, breathing exercises are excellent methods for relieving stress and increasing concentration.
- Stretching and / or a full-fledged physical workout - this will help relieve tension in the muscles, activate blood flow to the brain.
- "Resetting the Brain"- five minutes of nothingness (if you are afraid to fall asleep, set an alarm).
- Be sure to hide under the "glass cap". Prepare for the exam in a relaxed atmosphere, exclude external stimuli to the maximum. Naturally, cut down all sorts of Skype, ICQ and the like.
What is the best way to study the material in order to prepare for the exam in a day?
And now let's move on to the methods and technologies of ramming into the gray matter all the knowledge that needed to be crammed there during the semester.
- What questions to learn first?Tactics will have to be chosen taking into account the circumstances:
- If during the semester you have already acquired some knowledge, start learning exam questions about which you already have an idea. This sets the stage for exploring related topics.
- The second option is to progressively move strictly according to the logic of the topics being studied. This principle should be followed in cases where each subsequent topic is based on the previous ones.
- If you are a follower mnemotechnologies "House" ("Palaces of Mind"), it makes sense to learn tickets one after another, “arranging” information in each new room and hanging a sign with the ticket number on the door (“house” may well be a “hotel”).
- It is better to leave the most difficult questions for a snack, be sure to allocate enough time for them, and the easy ones should be learned first.
- However, there is an opposite opinion - the difficult one must be taught first, while concentration and energy are at their peak.
Perhaps the choice of tactics is an individual thing ... The main thing is to be consistent, and not rush from ticket to ticket!
- Do you suspect that you will not have time to learn all the questions? You should not play roulette, hoping that you will get the right ticket. It is more expedient to do this: ideally (well, or at least more or less) learn the first questions of each ticket. And on the second - walk a little. A brisk start will ensure you the goodwill of the teacher. Even if you “swim” in the second question, the chances of passing the exam for a decent grade are very good.
- What to do if you do not have information on some exam tickets? The most important thing is to find out at the very beginning of your sprint race. In this case, there is a chance to find a student lancer who will prepare answers and / or spurs for you in a few hours of nightly vigils. Perhaps the necessary information can be obtained from a classmate who will send it by e-mail. Therefore, start preparing for the exam by reviewing the exam questions and sources of knowledge.
- Limit the flow of information on each issue. It will not be possible to thoroughly delve into the topics being studied, therefore it is very important that all the information being studied be relevant, presented briefly and structured. A short answer instead of a textbook chapter is what a sprinter needs, who has only 10 to 30 minutes to study one question. Where can I get these answers to exam questions? Ask high school students for high-quality spurs, order answers to exam tickets from student lancers.
- Don't get hung up on individual questions. Do not allow yourself to spend 2-3 hours on one question. Set a timer, it mobilizes.
- Your task is understanding, not memorization. Try to understand what you are studying in order to tell in your own words on the exam (and in extreme cases, to speculate). Find logical connections between the studied blocks of information. By the way, the most successful sprinters are erudite and logicians with well-spoken languages, capable of creating a full-fledged answer on a minimal information base.
- Reduce the array of information on each issue to a few theses. Structure and simplify! Create an information "concentrate" on the basis of which you will respond. Each thesis is a package with a “concentrate”, pulling the development of thoughts, associations, logical constructions.
It is the theses that make sense to run through your eyes an hour before the exam. It is in the theses that cheat sheets should be prepared.
One of the thesis technologies for preparing for an exam and in general for any speech is three sentence method. Contain in them the most important thing: the problem, main idea, final conclusion.
- Use mnemonics to remember precise information (dates, formulas, rules, definitions, etc.). The method of associations and the already mentioned method of "House" ("Halls of the Mind") have proven themselves well.
- Arm yourself with a pen. Fine motor skills activate the work of the brain, including memorization processes. In the process of studying the material, build diagrams, chronological lines, neural maps. All this, by the way, can become the basis for compiling cheat sheets.
- When studying the material, focus on your type of memory: visual, auditory or kinetic.
- Get ready for the two of you. Speak topics, explain them to each other.(This technology will not allow you to slip away - of course, if the comrades are also set to study; it is better not to start this enterprise with "saboteurs").
By the way, it was with the help of this method that the author of this article prepared “excellently” for the exam in 8 hours, which he remembered about somewhere around midnight. After the birthday. In the campus. With true friends. With a glass of champagne in one hand, a piece of cake in the other, and a textbook on my lap
There is something to remember!
Ecology of life. Life hack: It’s the end of November, which means that the exam session will begin at universities very soon. University teachers always urge you to prepare for exams from the first of September, and, in general, they are right: if you read all the dregs that they wrote in an extremely chaotic, and sometimes clumsy language, then remembering all this will really take no less several months.
In the courtyard - the end of November, which means that very soon the exam session will begin in universities. University teachers always urge you to prepare for exams from the first of September, and, in general, they are right: if you read all the dregs that they wrote in an extremely chaotic, and sometimes clumsy language, then remembering all this will really take no less several months.
But which of the adequate students teaches all this nonsense all the time - and six months before it is tested? It even happens that you don’t want to study until the last moment, that is, until the very last moment, when there is a day before the exam, or even the last sleepless night, and you don’t want to use “spurs” or don’tknows how. It is these heroes who are not gnawing, but storming the granite of science, and I want to help.
At the same time, it would probably not be superfluous to make a reservation: I have experience in successfully preparing schoolchildren and students according to these methods - specifically in the humanities (social science, law, history, literature). What is going on in biology, mathematics, astronomy and physics with chemistry - I have no idea.
But here in relation to the disciplines of the humanitarian cycle, the recommendations presented work like iron, always with a stamp - and for any acceptable rating, up to "five". True, only if you do not suffer from memory problems, and if you have at least a little developed associative thinking.
Here we take as an example a school textbook on social studies. We look at what sections this very social science includes. We write out the names of these sections on a piece of paper - and memorize them (just the names of the sections). Write out, I emphasize, be sure!
Next, we look through the sections themselves and make sure that they include chapters and paragraphs, on the basis of this we understand what they generally want from us (well, let's say the "economics" section studies production, distribution, exchange and consumption, everything else is derivative).
Next - work on each individual section: we memorize and try to understand the key terms and other information highlighted in bold in the textbook, we generally ignore everything else.
By the way, the main problem of students is that they are trying to learn unnecessary dregs, of which there are usually 95 percent in a textbook. So this mistake should not be repeated, especially many times. "Water" is not worthy of attention.
As a result, you will be surprised that any thick book, being squeezed to the drop, like a lemon, fits in a notebook, four times smaller than even your lecture notebook. And the content required for the "five" in the exam is much more than in your lecture book.
As soon as we turned to social science and to the section "economics", then let's see what we got in this section. And this is what happened: you need to remember what the economy is, what types of economic systems, what are the factors of production, well, and three or four more laws in bold.
With proper concentration, this is an hour, a maximum of one and a half - and you will know it all from the teeth. No one will ask more of you, believe me. Exactly the same - for all other sections. It is highly desirable at the end to leave forty minutes - an hour to speak and settle the written phrases, diagrams and, possibly, some sketches. Everything, you are ready for the exam, go ahead!
Pitfalls can be on subjects of historical and literary sense. There is a lot of information in them, which, it would seem, is difficult to fit into some kind of schematic sketches. Names, plots, dates… All this makes my head swell! There is always a risk of confusing Mamai with Batu, and Bolkonsky with Lensky. Therefore, when memorizing history and literature, a slightly different method works.
If you don’t understand point-blank and don’t see causal relationships between dates, events, names and facts, and even if you confuse one with the other every now and then, then you need to draw a table with a couple of vertical stripes and a lot of horizontal.
Vertical columns- “name of the actor”, “what did you do?” (we write it down literally in a few words), in relation to history - also a “date”, you can allocate a separate plate for some difficult-to-remember peace treaties.
Then horizontally you should get a plot that you understand. As a result, an extremely compact plate emerges for any work that has not been read, but which needs to be forced to know and remember, and for each block historical events(well, there is serfdom, revolutions, world wars, collectivization, "thaw", Gorbachev-Yeltsin democracy and so on in the same spirit).
If confusion still arises, we highlight each horizontal strip with a certain color- and associatively bind this color to a person and an event - within the table. For example, you associate Kolchak with blue, Wrangel with white, and Lenin with red, you can do it the other way around - it’s more convenient for someone to perceive it. The main thing is the principle itself, and it works flawlessly.
Someone may argue that this is a very long time, and you won’t have time the night before the exam. Yes, nothing like that! As soon as you start doing this, you will see that in literature you need to remember only a dozen and a half basic literary works (with a very simple plot, as it turns out), and in history - only a few large blocks of events and facts that are easily depicted and linked schematically.
All these frightening and seemingly disordered dates, plots and names are again compact, exhaustive and, importantly, quickly fit into a small notebook.
Well, again, if you choose the most essential and do not get confused with the unnecessary: for example, in relation to literature, with Pushkin, Gogol, Chekhov, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky and Sholokhov, you will have to strain, and Shalamov, Rubtsov or Vampilov can be completely ignored.
It is necessary to memorize according to the tables-sections - and again, you need to leave forty minutes - an hour to say all this in in general terms and not get confused in the exam. And if you strain yourself for just a few hours, then combat readiness again guaranteed!
I repeat and emphasize: such schemes are guaranteed to be suitable for all humanitarian subjects without exception. And the indicated methods will allow you to memorize and for some time memorize in detail a textbook of any complexity - a maximum of 6-7 hours before the X hour.
That is, a few hours before the exam, he was "zero" and "wooden", and having prepared according to these recommendations, he came - and received "excellent" (or some other maximum score), answering all the tricky questions of a grumpy and picky examiner. I give a tooth, this is more than real! If you, I repeat, do not have pathological problems with memory, and if you do not completely lack associative-figurative thinking.
This will be of interest to you:

At the same time, do not expect that the information learned in this way will linger in your head for more than a month. Your goal is exclusively "five" in the exam, in an honest way, without headphones and "spurs". If you want long-term memory, follow exactly the same scenarios, just give the process not 6-7 hours, but, say, a couple of days - for each relevant item.
And one more moment, and an important moment ... I still would not recommend resorting to forced technologies too often: one, two, three per session is still nothing, but the psyche is really overloaded from such systematic feats. Such intellectual marathons, with all their temporary effectiveness, are permissible only when there is a very great need. And just before the exam, it is highly desirable to get enough sleep.
Good luck with the session! published
You do not know how to prepare for the exam quickly, and most importantly, efficiently?
Having collected my meager life experience and the experience of older generations of students, I have developed my own methodology for passing exams, which allows you to:
1. prepare for any exam in 2 days;
2. do not use the spurs and smart heads of university comrades;
3. pass the exam itself with a “good” or even “excellent” mark.
I myself am a lover of money [hence], a lover of getting an increased scholarship [hence], a lover of passing exams with excellent marks. Moreover, I don’t know what the shank looks like and in general where it should be taken. And let me be the confirmation that this exam preparation strategy works. Yes, yes, modesty is the last quality on my list of virtues.
There are two days left before the exam.
The exam is on the nose, but you didn’t move a finger or convolutions? I won’t scold you, because I myself like to lie down for another hour on the couch. And certainly not with a summary in hand. But you still need to prepare, so let's get started.
2. At the end of the first step, most likely you will find that you do not have answers to all questions. To restore this gap, pick up a textbook or a keyboard with a mouse. And for recording, use notepads like this [see. photograph 2]. Write the answer to the question on one sheet [both sides]. Why exactly? But because it is precisely such a volume of oral and written answers that will satisfy even a picky teacher. And it is to prescribe, and not to print on a computer. Our brain has amazing ability memorize what we write with our own hands. I especially recommend this method to “visuals” [people who perceive information well visually]
So, by the end of the second day, we have the answers to all the questions in writing, which in itself is already wonderful and amazing.
There is only one day left before the exam.
I don’t know about others, but it is on this day that laziness overcomes me especially strongly. So much so that you don’t even want to get up from the couch, and even more so get up, teach, write, get nervous. But we are smart and registered all the questions yesterday. Therefore, putting a cat under one side, and a box of chocolate cookies under the other, we begin to read what we have written. Personally, three readings are enough for me to memorize all the material of a humanitarian subject. Luckily, I don't have any technical experience. On the same day, I advise you to go to bed before 12 o'clock. The information you read will fit into the brain compartments in the right composition and proportions, and you will not become the owner of a morning headache and general lethargy.
Exam day.
Well, here he is. As usual, having a good nerve, the student begins to create a small pile. No, not what you thought, the student is still not a bear. Create a bunch of questions, three of which [the most interesting] I will try to answer.
What to wear?
Like a being belonging to female gender I really love this question. And I won't be surprised by the answer. Get dressed in business style or close to him. She herself watched how the teachers were delighted with a student in a suit. I do not advise girls to lean on short skirts and necklines. This can make the teacher very, very angry. And also ambiguously hint at the lack of knowledge in your head. Also use a minimum of cosmetics and a minimum of perfume [I say “minimum”, not “absence”, because few people are capable of such a sacrifice].
Where to spit, how to shout and what to scratch?
Even the most cynical and pragmatic people during the exam begin to put their heels under their heels, and whisper “catch a freebie”. You can also put notes and textbooks under the pillow overnight, in a dream all the information will be absorbed into your bright and empty head. It is not yet advisable to wash your hair and shave before the exam, you will wash off and scrape off all knowledge. And it’s better to pull the ticket with your left hand, so that it’s closer to your heart, dear. "The effectiveness of these drugs has not been confirmed, not tested on animals."
How and when to speak?
I advise you to enter the exam in the top ten. Teachers have an opinion that only excellent students are the first to answer. That is, you already have one plus for dressing correctly, now we get a second plus for entering among the smart and knowledgeable.
If the exam is written, that's all the advice is over. We write - we sell.
If the exam is oral, everything is just beginning. It's no secret that oral exams are passed either by those who are well prepared or those who speak well. If you neglected the first points of my advice, then we will focus on the second option. Your main task now will be - hang out the teacher for a dialogue. To do this, you must say something for about a couple of minutes. Preferably on topic. Even if you are not sure about the correctness of what you say, say it anyway. Just make your tone more confident and at the same time look the teacher in the eye. Your tone and not being afraid to show shameless eyes [plus a suit and a desire to rush into battle] can give the teacher the confidence that you have been preparing hard, but “you messed up something because you are very nervous.” And he will rightly start asking leading questions, which is exactly what we need. But most importantly, don't overdo it. Cheap one-man theater, not the best the best option for contemplating the already tired of the life and stupidity of the world of the teacher. And lastly, during your monologue, do not try to ask questions to the teacher. Receiving a response is unlikely. But the proposal to take a walk behind the shank will come immediately.
This concludes the list of ways to survive during the session. I'm going to stick the stickers myself, and I wish you good luck in preparing and during the delivery. Hope I helped you in some way.
Break a leg! ;)

We are all different, so our strategies for preparing for the exam will be different. Get away from your individual features. If you are auditory, read textbooks and notes aloud, if you are kinesthetic, write according to your notes and plan your answer.
Another effective method is the mind map. it great way structure information, refresh knowledge and quickly grasp the essence of the subject even after a long time. We talked about how to make mental maps and how to work with them in more detail.
What questions to learn first? If during the semester you have a good understanding of the subject, proceed to the questions about which you have at least some idea.
If each new block cannot be understood without the previous one, then there is only one option: learn everything strictly in order.
It also makes sense to start with difficult questions, allocating enough time to study them. It's best to deal with them before you get tired and lose focus. Save the easy questions for later.
And be consistent. Stick to the chosen strategy, even if you start to panic with the approach of the exam.
Seek understanding, not memorization
Delve into the ticket, and do not try to memorize it. Memorization is a deliberately losing strategy, which also takes more time. Find logical connections in questions, invent associations.
Of course, in each subject there is information that you need to know by heart: dates, formulas, definitions. But even they are easier to remember if you understand the logic.
Do not tell the material in your own words, speculate so that the answer is more detailed.
Method "3-4-5"
A good method when you need to prepare for an exam in a short period of time. It will only take three days, but there is a lot of work to be done. Every day you need to work through all the material, but at a different level, constantly deepening.
On the first day, you read your entire abstract or training manual so that knowledge on the subject, roughly speaking, gets involved. We conditionally believe that you can already pass the exam for a triple.
On the second day, you deal with the same questions, but already from the textbook, in order to learn more details and subtleties. If you prepare diligently, you can already count on the four.
On the last day, you bring your answers to the ideal: repeat, fill in the gaps, remember. After the third day, you are ready to pass the exam with excellent marks.
Two days to study, one to review
The system is very simple: all the material must be divided into two identical parts and learned in two days. The third day is entirely devoted to repetition.
Set a time limit
You can delve into each topic indefinitely, so do not try to remember all the subtleties. From a large chapter in the textbook, highlight the main thoughts: structured material of a small volume is easier to perceive.
In we divided all the tickets between classmates and each prepared a short summary of his part. If your group does not develop mutual assistance, you can ask for materials and cheat sheets from senior students.
Don't get stuck
If you feel like you're sitting on one question for too long, skip it. The best motivator when preparing is a timer. Decide how much time you can spend on one ticket, such as 30 minutes, and when the time expires, move on to the next one. Set aside a few hours before the exam to deal with missed questions.
Make a ticket response plan
Any, even the most extensive question can be described in a few words. Moreover, each thesis should evoke associations.
Such a plan can be quickly reviewed before the exam to tune in to the working mood. There is a well-known method of three sentences: write out for each question a problem, a main idea and a conclusion.
Study depends on the subject
Not only you have individual characteristics, but also the subject under study. For example, the exact sciences - physics - require practice. For the humanities, it is important to be able to process large amounts of information, remember dates, names, definitions.
But, I repeat, the study of any subject must be approached actively: to delve into the issue and strive for understanding.
The format of the exam is also important. If you are preparing for an oral exam, say your future answers out loud. My favorite tactic is to retell the material to someone at home or, when they are not enthusiastic, to myself in front of a mirror. Even better, if someone will not only listen to you, but also ask questions when something is not clear.
If you are preparing for testing, it is worth solving a dozen typical tests, writing out your mistakes, repeating problematic topics and solving everything again.
If the exam is written, you need to think over the structure of the answer in advance.
Prepare for two or three
Write down the most difficult, in your opinion, topics - the collective mind will help you deal with them faster. It is better to cooperate with classmates who are determined to study, otherwise the preparation for the exam can turn into an ordinary pleasant meeting with friendly conversations.
No, this does not mean that joking and relaxing is forbidden. Just remember the main purpose of the meeting.
Viktor Kiryanov/Unsplash.com - Take breaks. This will help you relax and sort out new information.
- Turn off your phone, don't go to social networks, stay away from the TV. If you can't resist the temptation, read up on dealing with distractions.
- Get enough sleep.
- Do not forget about food: it will give extra strength to your body. However, you shouldn't overeat. Usually, after an overly heavy lunch, he begins to sleep, and he doesn’t want to study at all.
- Avoid negativity from other people. The atmosphere during classes should be as favorable as possible.
- Don't rely too much on cheat sheets and cheating. And if you don’t know how to write off well (you must agree, you also need to be able to do this), you shouldn’t even start.
- Arrange a place for classes: bright, comfortable, with all the necessary materials at hand. The bed is not the best option: there is a high probability of falling asleep on a boring topic.
- Make bulleted lists: they are easier to remember.
- Sports will help to relax and stretch the muscles that have become stiff during prolonged sitting. In addition, while running, cycling, or similar physical activity, you can slowly reflect on complex issues.
- If you feel that you are not in the mood to study, start with the topic that seems most interesting to you. This will help you get on track.
- Walk in the evening. During preparation, the nerves are usually on edge, so you need to relax a little.
- Make a clear preparation plan.
