Keep calm and study smart

By Nurazreen Basar

We have only less than three weeks to final examination. For now, most of us are still struggling to do assignments or reports to meet the deadline for submission or even preparing for presentation. Some may have a good time management where they did the assignments earlier but some who did not know how to manage their time, they are keeping the assignments to the last minute where it will definitely be a burden.

Do not give up and do submit all your assignments and reports on time!

Lets talk about the smart way to study for final examination. There are several ways which some of the students might already know about that. The first one is using image and word association which means relate the words you study with the images. For example, if a term in your textbook sounds like an object you already know, picture that object in your head every time you say or read that word.

The next one is using acronyms. This is the common ways most students use. An acronym is a combination of letters that can be used to help you memorise a term or concept. You can combine the first letter of each word of a compound term to spell a word that is easy to recall. For example, one of the most common acronyms people use nowadays is ASAP, which stands for as soon as possible.

Another way that can be used is story-telling or teach it back to others. You can create stories based on the topic you study and relate it. Also, teach the topic to your friends and most of my friends suggested this way, it will increase your memory well.

Other than that, write on sticky notes all the important terms and paste it in your wall or board. You can look at it whenever and whatever you are doing. Apart from that, using repetition way where it involves reviewing information again and again until you have grasped the concept.

Try different methods for different kinds of courses. Well, different people have different way of study. It all depends on your creativity and capability. Whatever your method of study is, try to gain knowledge as much as you can because wherever you go, it will require your knowledge and your level of intelligence.

All the best for final examinations!
