Study tips for students

                     STUDY SMART (TIP 1)

*TO TAKE NOTE*

This is from an asian student's point of view (my POV) to help you understand this better and I am sure it is more relatable from a student's point of view. I have experienced this firsthand and find is useful. 

TIP 1: 

Organise your notes!!

I cannot place enough enphasis on this tip!! When you revise for your exams, an organised set/pile of notes is of utmost importance as it helps you visualise what you have learnt. If you are the type that doesn't study your notes for the day when you come home from school to refresh your memory, then this tip will help you. If you are in a lecture/lesson and your lecturer/teacher is talking too fast, DO NOT write everything word for word, listen and copy down the key ideas and the important things you need to take note. Jot down your notes in neat paragraphs and if you like to highlight key words when you are writing, do it AFTER the lecture/lesson. 

You can decorate your notebook with quotes and small doodles as it will make you feel more motivated to look through your notes, trust me, I would know. Feel free to add stickers (NOT too many) and add post-its in your notebook. Use colourful markers to section each part on each part that you find most suitable. Use pictures, diagrams and models to help you visualise that concept, this is key for having neat and useful notes, just don't draw too many until your entire page is filled with pictures and they might not deem as useful as a set of notes with some writing.

Just remember, notes exist to help people and not to sit in a backpack or on shelf looking pretty. Your notes can be simple like this:

OR it can be fancy like this:

Both works well as long you use them! It could be a combination of both too! Good luck! I hope you find this tip useful! 

Until next time!!! 💪DON'T GIVE UP!! 👋 Bye!!
