Work Hard Play Hard

Exam period? The following are my study tips. Hope it improves your efficiency and eventually your grades 🙂

1. Start Early

Never start too late – like 1 week before exams. Plan your study time schedule and make sure you have sufficient time to finish your syllabus.

2. Find Your Absorption Time

Different people have different timing to study. I personally prefer to study from 8pm to 2am because this is the period where i can absorb the most.

3. Take Quick Breaks

For every hour you study, take a 5 minutes break. It will improve your concentration and it is scientifically proven. It may differ from people to people and i personally take a break whenever i feel i’m not absorbing as well.

4. Quick Naps

If you feel tired or drained, take a quick nap. No point studying when your brain is not working at 100% efficiency.

5. Last Minute Can Be Good

For subjects that require a lot of memory work (history, geography, science), it is good to have a last minute scan through before going into the exam room. It will improve your recall ability.
