Hmmm... long time since I passed this phase.. but here are some finer points that i can re-collect :

1. Make a good choice of books. I dont know which board you belong to or which stream you've taken. If you're in the science stream, CBSE board, msg back to me ; I'll advice you on that.

2. Make your own notes. Jot down whatever you read into easily comprehensible points. It not only helps in summarising the subject matter given in the text books but also helps you remember much better.

3. Solve a LOT of question banks. You can do without a text-book but NOT without a question bank. Again, I could suggest you some good ones that I'd used if you gimme details. Question banks are often the best way of ensuring that you cover the minutest details in the chapters.

4. Stress on the very short answer type questions. Once you've gone through the very short answer type questions of a good question bank, you have covered almost the entire chapter. This'll help you in answering the subjective questions too.

5. Take breaks in between your study time. Choose your study hour judiciously.. i.e. when your energy level is at its best. Mine used to be 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. :D

All the best.. get back to me on messenger for any details..

Read my tips on how to study better. I am sure it will help

How to Study Better

Studying well takes focus of attention and an excitement for learn the subject, both which may not be present while having to study. So how can you prep yourself for the task?
Steps

1. Get a good night's sleep. Being tired is a distraction.
2. Eat properly. Protein is the proper nutrition to keep carb-addicts from falling asleep. Add vitamins via salad fixings and you can become alert for the work ahead. If you really need to, drink an energy drink before studying.
3. Get in shape. If you are not fit, start getting fit, by just walking, at first, and then continue into strength-building, aerobics and flexibility exercises, such as yoga and pilates. This should be done as suggested, at least 3 times a week, minimum of 30 minutes, but preferably 30-60 minutes a day of alternate physical concentration. After every 30 minutes of mental concentration, get up and do something physical, a few minutes of jumping rope, throwing the ball, standing on your head, whatever.
4. Get comfortable. Find a comfortable place to study and make sure you've eaten, gone to the bathroom, and done anything else you need to do. However, if you are fatigued, be aware of too comfortable an environment, or you may fall asleep.
5. Get rid of the distractions and get yourself immersed in the subject at hand. (Easier said than done, but you can get interested in the subject matter without thinking about your problems, etc., if it is interesting in the first place.) Distractions include cell phones, TV's and radios, the internet (unless absolutely necessary), and people who like to talk to you or around you.
6. Have a deadline. If you don't have one, make one.
7. Give yourself a reward. Sometimes you get the reward first, then do the work that you were supposed to do for that reward. Or wait till you have read a chapter/done a problem/whatever is on your list, then give yourself a reward.
8. Know that this too (the studying) will end and you can then get a life.


Tips

* Everyone has a different studying style and some tips would include highlighting, outlining, making flashcards, taking notes according to categories, and then memorizing those notes and categories, all depending on the subject matter. Review the material through the notes you have made, reading over that which you have forgotten. Taking good notes is essential. You can't rely on your memory. See the How to Get Straight A's notations.
* Studying with a partner who is as serious about the subject as you can be a good motivator to work harder. Organize the study session into parts, review notes outline chapter, discuss concepts (try to teach it to each other so that you are sure you both get it.)
* Try to break formulas and concepts into mnemonics to help you remember the concepts, for example if one wants to remember the notes of the treble clef lines in music the mnemonic Every Good Boy Does Fine= E, G, B, D, F.
* Where a chapter or subject lends itself to 4-6 different catagories of information, write out a 3x5 index card with questions on one side and answers on the other. Put one question from each catagory on one side of the card and the corresponding answer on the other side. Then invite some friends from the class over to play History Trivial Pursuit. Same rules, your index cards.
* Use graphic organizers (GOs) to organise the information that you want to study. Use the concept map, cause and effect diagrams, event organizers depending on what content you want to study. Check out http://www.graphic.org for some useful graphic organizers and how to use them. Print some GOs from http://www.edhelper.com/teachers/graphic_organizers.htm to start you off.
* If you have problems concentrating, talk to your teacher or professor. You may have a deeper issue and he or she can help.
* Do your homework -- you'll remember more.
* Music is ok, but keep it at a low volume.
* Your attitude greatly helps the outcome of your studying: if you're mad at the world, you won't really care much about biology, and likewise, if you're so excited you can't breathe, you are not going to want to sit down and read about the Mesopotamian Era. Think about that and try to regulate your moods when it's time to hit the books (e.g. don't sign on to instant messaging to talk with your friends about that cute new guy ten minutes before you have to study the table of elements).


Warnings

* Studying could get addictive. The more you study successfully, the more you find you would like to and you may never leave school, becoming a perennial student till your dying days.
* Being a perennial student may not be so bad after all, considering that a successful life demands that you be a student of it.
* Watch out for inclinations to procrastinate until the last moment. All your efforts will not lead to success and you'll end up blaming your tools.
* Avoi
