Start studying for your boards NOW!
Are you that student who procrastinated all semester and dread giving your exams now?
We all are guilty of whiling away time, not acknowledging its utter importance, but we always get a chance to redeem ourselves. The road to mastering a whole year’s worth syllabus in the time frame of a few weeks’ notice is lengthy but not impossible to reach the end.
Having said that, let’s preface this guide with a forewarning: you need to study for this to work. There is absolutely no shortcut to achieving success without ever working hard.
Now follow these steps to study complete syllabus, productively, within a short period of time:
Firstly, DO NOT PANIC.
This will kill your confidence and give you anxiety. Do not think about failing your exams without even trying to attempt them. As soon as you realize the panic settling in, start forming a self – study timetable in your mind.
Activate your Time Management skills.
To make up for all the wasted time, you don’t have to give up on sleep, instead you can plan the rest of your days in a productive manner. Make a physical copy of the timetable you had thought of previously and stick it in a place where you look at every morning immediately after you wake up. This way, you are reminded of it frequently.
Focus your mind.
Set aside a few hours every day not only to implement the act of studying but to actually spend your time learning. Instead of focusing on how much syllabus you can cover per day, try to figure out how much content your mind is able to understand.
Repeat audio-visual learning extensively.
Try to watch as many short, animated videos as you can, which explain difficult topics. Or listen to podcasts that delve deeper into your subject content and give extra information over your textbook material. You can memorize data quicker this way, also in a fun manner.
Lastly, never skip your present-day classes.
You might still have classes going on and your teacher will definitely be covering some important topics, so be very attentive in the classroom. If the content being taught is related to a previous topic, listen to the teacher, make a mental note, then come home and read up the previous topic while recalling what your teacher taught you the present day. Never put current learning on the backburner because it will ultimately only increase your backlogs.
By the end you’ll have caught up on more syllabus in less time due to your discipline and willpower. Rest assured; you don’t have to worry about failing your exams!
