1. The mnemonic device

Easily remember sequences and key concepts – like BODMAS in Maths or  “i” before “e” except after “c” for english grammar– makes learning a lot simpler.

2. Download free apps to study on the go.

Check out Tables app, IITJEEnius app and Meritnation Study App which  lets you study and review notes instantly . Too much work? thanks to mobile devices you can browse through ready study material and revision notes & formule for quick revision. 

3. Give your notes a makeover.

Creativity is intelligence having fun! Jazz up your notes with colors and visuals, and you’ll be more likely to recall the details when you require the the most.

4. YouTube it.

Channels like CrashCourse , Minute Physic take big topics and break them down into short, easy-to-understand episodes. There’s an episode for just about every subject under the sun.

5. Caffeinate (in breaks!)…

Caffeine helps kick the brain into gear, opt for frequent, small coffee / tea breaks,to remain fresh while you study long hours.

 

6. And ….pop some gum in between.

Studies suggest that chewing gum can boost concentration and focus. (Plus, all that chewing should keep you awake, right?)

8. Get loud.

Read your notes aloud to yourself, or pair up with a friend and read sections to each other. Actually speaking and hearing the words – instead of just silently reading them on paper – will help you memorize quickly!

9. Shift base.

Avoid studying in the same place every day. Changing spaces forces your brain to reform memories every time – and makes you more likely to retain all that new material.

10. Do the reading before the class

Easier said than done (we know!) but it’s also an ideal way to a) get the most out of class, b) reinforce the material twice, and c) impress your teacher with your super on-point questions.Or you can always check out ready study material and NCERT solution to make your life so much more easier.

    The study hacks you shared are really awesome. I personally always follow point 8. that says that “read aloud”.
    The use of chewing gum is also good when reading boring sub’s.
