Overview

Studying for an examination looks different for many students. As you grow through your academic journey, you pick up habits and learn what works for you and what doesn't. What is best for one student may not be what their peer needs in order for them to best absorb the same material in a way that sticks.

Relevant Legislation

Many students have found it helpful to create a stable, structured pattern flow to their weekly study routine. This consists of studying at the same time, on the same days of the week, and in the same trusted space and environment that they have decided works best for them to stay focused. Do you have a specific time of the day your brain seems to focus best? Do you notice it's easier to sit down and study on a Saturday evening, or a Wednesday morning? Depending on your personal schedule, we recommend choosing days that you know your mind will be able to stay on task and schedule it in advance. In terms of time, while some may find it easier to stay focused following an afternoon walk, others may do better scheduling their studying early in the morning, or late at night. It really comes down to what you know works best for you. The key is in planning them out and sticking to this same schedule, no matter what needs to be studied. Your brain will begin to expect this routine each week, letting it work better in your favor. 

Key Points
