Study tips from a serial procrastinator….

May 25, 2016 No Comments

Here are some more tips to get you studying hardersmarter.

**1. Use a strange (but still legible) font for your study notes.**

You will have to put more effort into reading them therefore you are less likely to skim and more likely to retain what you’ve read.

2. Teach what you have studied.

You are 50% more likely to remember something that you’ve said as opposed to have read. Take advantage of this by teaching a friend or family member who is new to the topic. You will soon realise what you don’t understand and questions they have can test your knowledge.
