Studying

Hi, guys.... i'm so sorry we haven't posted in ages. we are studying for our exams now and haven't had much time. We will start posting regularly at the end of June because that is when our exams have finished. We swear that we will keep our word and will post every week. we would appreciate it if you guys gave us some ideas or feedback to see what you guys enjoy or dislike and what you guys need some advice in or if your friend needs some advice.


This blog post is advice about studying and good ways to study. I know..... studying is the last thing people want to hear but we all have to deal with it sometime and this is to help you.

Mindset:
Never think negetavely
Tell yourself that you are almost finished
think of how you will feel when you get good marks in your exam
Don't get distracted from your studying
Don't be ashamed of being that person who studys
think of your future and what you want
make goals
aim for high marks
ask for help if you need any


Good ways to study:
Cue cards
typing up notes 
using color when making notes
highlighting important things
Using trigger words
Make your own tests and exams on the things you have to study and then do those tests overt and over again
Make audio's/record your self reading all your notes and then replay those audios over and over again
use images to understand/study your content
Draw up mindmaps
Make sure you understand something, because if you try memorize something you dont understand you will not get very good marks and it will be much harder to learn
Find worksheets and do them
Get out your text book and start making notes everyday
Study the subjects you find the hardest first and then make it down to the subjects you find easier
Use key words to refocus yourself
Rewrite your notes at homee
try make it interesting
Start studying 1-3 months in advanced depending on how much you have to study 
Go over all your notes and resources over and over again until it is stuck in your head and you know the answer off by heart


Be organised:
File your pieces of paper correctly
Make a study timetable
Use files/books for each subject
Name all your pieces of work and label all your files, books, pages, documents, power point
Make a file on your computer and organise your subjects in different files to make it easier to find your work
Delete or throw away any duplicate pieces of work/ documents/ cue card so you don't get confused
