Introduction

Learning how to study helps you avoid anxiety, fatigue, and frustration when you are preparing for an examination. You are more likely to do well and be less stressed if you have enough time to properly go through the material. Most students think that reading is all they require, but, in the real sense, studying is the way to go.

So, studying is definitely wider than learning, and you need to understand and master various study skills. Mastering effective study habits aids you to get better grades in their area of specialization. Learning how to study effectively is an important life skill. It will enable you to observe the language and respect every aspect of it. At each level of academic progress, for instance, university-level, you will realize that learning becomes more independent.  At this level, you need to master various study skills in order to be successful.

As a student, you require various techniques on how to be successful, and some of them include; note-taking, listening and reading. By mastering these skills, you will be successful. Understanding how to study effectively enables you to spend less time studying because you have a clue on how to go about it. Most students waste time reading for long hours, and in the end, they don’t understand what they have learned. This because they have not mastered various study skills that will help them be successful. The question which each student should answer is how long do l study for a test? By answering this question, you will be in a position to understand that it’s not how long you study but how effective your studying is!

You will soon discover some of the steps you must master in order to be effective in studying. When you are able to master these procedures, you will be aggressive enough. Also, through following these steps, you will be in a position to do away with guesswork study. Students who rely on guesswork end up being ineffective, especially in their arguments concerning particular subjects.

We shall also cover the various methods that enable students to be successful in their studies. Students normally use different study techniques in order to achieve success, but unless they understand them, their efforts will bear no fruit. Most students end up working hard instead of working smart. Students who understand how to work smart are in a position to do research in an effective way. Some of the note-taking methods discussed in this guide will require a few more procedures. But each step will help and provide you with an estimated preparation time for adequate note-taking. By doing so, guesswork will be avoided completely, and we will ensure adequate preparation is done.

Chapter 1: 7 Easy Steps to Study Effectively

Let’s get right into it! In this chapter we are presenting the skills that enable you to study and learn efficiently. This is a vital set of transferable life skills. These are study skills appropriate to learners across all disciplines and in various life circumstances. These 7 steps are applicable to full and part-time scholars.

Step 1 - Get Organized

Being organized is ensuring that you carry out a regular homework planner. All your assignments, projects, tests, and homework must be done without fail. You must also set aside some time for effective studying.

When getting prepared to study, you should consider key issues like where and when to study. It is also proper to develop a network of contacts that can be of help when the need is required. By being organized, you need to consider behavioral issues since they are signs of disorganization. It’s important to create an effective process, but the challenging part will be turning it into a habit.

Organization demands writing down a schedule of activities. This helps you figure out how to do each task and what is required to achieve it. Procrastinating should be avoided because the longer you wait to do something, the more difficult it becomes to do it. You need to purpose to complete all the tasks in your schedule. Students should always ensure that they set rules for themselves. Rules will help students stop the act of procrastinating.

Having a routine will facilitate you to be consistent in whatever they do, and this will enable the student to be successful. So always write down a schedule that includes weekly duties to be carried out. Even if it is not possible to stick to the schedule, 100% make sure that at least half of it is completed. Avoid multitasking. The fallacy is that performing two tasks at the same time is working hard twice. The reality is that both tasks will either remain incomplete or be done recklessly.

The main limitation of multitasking is that the results are not perfect, and sometimes the task is not completed. So as to achieve this goal of being organized, always set specific goals. These goals will enable you to remain focused and engaged with whatever he or she is doing. It is proper to have a back-up for everything you are doing. If you are using electronic devices to store important information, ensure you have back up devices, for instance, hard drive or cloud storage site. These are essential because by having a back-up it will enable you to retrieve information in case your files are lost.

Ensure you have a balanced lifestyle. It is through this that you will get help to be more organized; you carry out your duties and responsibilities. Balanced lifestyle eliminates fatigue; thus, you are in a position to figure out how to utilize time well.

Furthermore, important to look for something that inspires or builds you so that you can maintain a positive attitude. Some of the ways you stay inspired include; having a notebook, a themed calendar, playing music in the background, a good night's sleep, eating healthy, and lastly, finding a study partner who motivates you.

Step 2 - Pay Attention in Class

To avoid distractions in the classroom, train yourself to focus on what the teacher is saying. You can do so by using various listening skills like being attentive, relaxing, having an open mind, and not interrupting. You can also take notes to improve your attentiveness. By listening keenly and taking notes, you become occupied, and you are able to ignore distractions. You can also deal with physical distractions by removing them from the classroom where possible.

Focusing on the present is the best way to keep your brain from distractions. Ensure that your mind is fully occupied in doing something constructive and worth-while, and this will aid one to be fully focused. One has to manually learn how to redirect your attention since this will enable one to be attentive during lectures. In case you deviate away from the lecture room, always ensure that you try as much as possible to refocus immediately. This also can be done by rebuilding or reconstructing your focus and also making sure you are active and vibrant in class.

Find out what motivates you. It is easier to remain focused when you are motivated. Use your creativity and find something interesting or appealing concerning the subject you are learning. Note-taking is another way to get motivated; it allows you to be
