It is important to pay attention in class to understand a topic.

But it is even more important to go home and study it yourself to retain all that knowledge. This is why self-study is extremely crucial for students of all ages.

Most students are usually confused about how to self-study.

If this sounds like you, do not worry! These tips will help you study efficiently, all by yourself!

Create a study plan:

Divide your syllabus into parts and set some study goals for yourself to achieve. For example, if you want to finish all chapters by the end of week you should schedule your study sessions accordingly.

Set reminders:

Decide a time for your study sessions and set an alarm to remind yourself to study to make sure you stick to your schedule.

Make notes:

Every time you come across an important topic, make sure to take notes and write all important points down.  You are more likely to remember those points in your own handwriting and it will also make it easier for you to write them during your exams as you have already written them before.

Test yourself:

After you have finished a topic, ask yourself some questions using SeekoG diagnostic tests. Remember those notes you made? Refer to those if you get stuck at any question.

Relate studies to real life:

You can make your subject more exciting by relating your study topic to a situation in your day-to-day life. Not only will this help you get excited about the subject, it will also help you understand it better.

Study in regular intervals:

It is proven that studying for a long time period without taking breaks has a negative impact on attention span. It is best to study in 30-40 minute sessions and then taking a 10-15 minute break.

If at any point you are stuck with a topic, remember to ask for help! SeekoG offers 1:1 tuitions for students having trouble.
