How to be successful as a student

Hi everyone,

hope you all had a great start into 2020!
The Christmas holidays are over and the learning stress starts again.
The next few weeks will be exhausting and stressful, there are many exams!
But I have prepared well for this busy time.
In the next paragraph, I would like to give you an insight into my learning preparations.

The most important thing is the organization!
First I made a To-Do List, then I wrote it in my pocket calendar. This gives a good overview of the next weeks.
It’s important to start learning in time. Start earlier and don’t get any stress towards the end! Furthermore, divide it up…it’s better to do short, intensive lessons, and plan learning breaks! During this break you should be moving. Go out and meet some friends.
I always learn 1 ½ hours in a row and then I take a 30-40 minutes break.
Before my learning phase begins, I clear my desk, that I can completely concentrate on learning. Besides put your cell phone away.
A study group can also be helpful. I’m very happy with my study group, before an exam we learn the material together and test ourselves. Teaching someone else is the best way to learn!
The day before an exam, you should go to bed early. In bed, you can read the important facts again. So, your brain processes the facts while you’re sleeping.

I hope you can implement the tips, and they will help you as much as me.
& write down your learning preparations in the comments!

Yours
Mary
