Western’s Wellness Education Center to make your study time the most productive possible.
Tip #1
Use the 50:10 cycle. 50 minutes of studying, then a 10-minute break (see Tip #5).
Tip #2
Study the most difficult material when you are most awake and alert (for most students, this is in the morning).
Tip #3
Sleep! Your brain needs rest to remember all the information you’ve learned. Try these 10 tips to sleep well.
Tip #4
Try different methods of studying: reading, making notes, quizzing a study buddy.
Tip #5
Take active breaks. Get fresh air in between study sessions.
Tip #6
Find a study space that is productive and calming for you.
Tip #7
Try relaxation techniques that use all your senses.
Always remember, you are much more than your exam scores! They do not define you as a person.
