I HEAR CHOCOLATE HELPS YOUR BRAIN WORK BETTER!!!

Answer 1

First of all know that the brain become pretty much inactive after 20 minutes of sitting. This means whenever you are studying you need to take frequent movement breaks.

Below I have listed an effective study method:

I just graduated college. In college I took a class on learning and memory and we discussed effective studying methods.

Here is some of what I learned:
- Use various methods of studying including writing down questions and answers as well as reading them out loud
- Don't study everything in topics, you need to mix up. This may seem contradictory to common sense but it is better for your memory.
- You absolutely need to use retrieval methods. This means you can't just read it and retain it. You have to use notecards or write out the questions and answer them without looking at the answers at first. You won't retain anything for any period of time without using retrieval.
- Split up your study time. For example if you have only 4 hours to study it is better to study one hour each day than to study all four hours at once or splitting into two sections (although two sections is still better than studying all at once)

Other Tips:
- If you were drinking soda when you study it is best to drink soda when you take the test. If you always sit in the same spot in class, take your test in that spot. This is called state dependent memory.
- Get some sleep and eat breakfast. This honestly helps. It is more brain power.
- Use devices to help you remember. If it's a list of five things you need to know then use the first letter of each item and make a word with it. This helps tremendously.

What I do:
I use notecards. It takes forever (2-4 hours) to write them all out but it is worth it. The time it takes to write them out actually helps you retain the information. Then I mix them up really good.
After that I split them up into sections of ten. I study ten at a time until I have them memorized. Then I study the next ten. Then I'll combine those two and study that twenty. Etc.. until I am finished. This is the first time then after that it usually comes easy and I can just go through the whole batch. This works so well! When I sit down at a test information spues out of me. It's great.

Answer 2

Well, first of all, stay relaxed. Try to study today, but don't study too much so that you end up repeating information to a point where it's just not helping anymore. While you're studying, take occasional breaks, and try to recite information out loud.
If your school allows it, maybe you can chew gum. Get a good night's sleep today. Also, eat breakfast - it's true that a good breakfast helps you to stay focused.

One more thing - don't waste your time on the computer right now.

Good luck!
