What are the smart tips for self studying ? - Toppers Secret

However good the teacher might be, You must invest some time yourself to study and these are some things I keep in mind and ensure to follow them while studying :

1. Studying or any activity doesn’t require some sort of motivation, it requires ‘Discipline’. Keep this in mind.
2. Have proper sleep of 6 to 7 hours, I was in a misconception that sleep less and utilize “those” for studying but that doesn’t work.
3. Early rising is not a prerequisite to ensure good learning, it depends upon you to be a night owl or early riser.
4. Don’t overestimate yourself and prepare a schedule that is way beyond your league. That only hampers your confidence and you won’t be able to study.
5. Track down the process, just briefly write on a stick note about what have you learnt on a topic and stick it somewhere and do this for six days of a week and daily just see them for a small amount of time
6. Sunday or any one of the days must be kept for recreational activities to rejenuvate yourself and use the stick notes you’ve made, your revision of the entire week will be over in just 3 to 4 hrs. Don’t be emotional that a day will be wasted.
7. another important thing I use is a stopwatch during your study hours, This will indirectly help you in studying longer ( Thanks to Akshay Jain, it is his idea to track down no of hours using a stopwatch)
8. concept learning is must, but you’ve to remember and retain it better to express that knowledge during exams. So you must Recall whatever you study constantly and don’t confuse Recalling with Rereading.

Last and most important is to Believe in yourself that you can do it.

All the above points are what I follow, it differs from person to person and I recommend you to experiment yourself for 1 week and you will come to the conclusion regarding a proper plan.

Thank you.

and Best of Luck.
