Studying longer does not always mean remembering more. How you study matters too

Just Reading
Reading notes again and again doesn't guarantee you'll remember them

No Self-Testing
Close your book and recall what you learned, test yourself often

Studying Too Long
Long sessions can reduce focus. Take short breaks between sessions

Too Much Screen Time
Your phone can quickly break your concentration, keep it away while studying
Too Much At Once
Trying to learn everything together can make studying harder, take one topic at a time

Skipping Revision
Learned something today? Revise it later to help retain it

No Practice
Reading Maths or Science concepts isn't enough, solve questions too

No Study Plan
Start with a simple plan, know what you want to finish before you begin

Study Smarter, Not Longer
Focus on recall, practice, revision, fewer distractions and good sleep
