Recommended Tips To Study For Long Hours With Ease.

Picking up a book to study is as simple as ABC. Studying it for long hours is a little bit difficult. But, to study long for hours without losing concentration? That is where the big problem lies.

This has been a cause for alarm for many students and even the working-class guys. Some persons go as far as taking all sort of drugs just to study for a long time without sleeping off or getting tired. Most times, these drugs exacerbate the issue rather than ameliorating it.

It is no news that many students cannot study up to two hours at a go. Some lose concentration after 40 minutes of study.

The effect of the above-mentioned challenges is the continuous increase in the failure rate of students in both internal and external examinations. This is a major cause for alarm and requires urgent attention.

The quest for solution has further generated both philosophical and analytical questions.

Some of the questions I am bombarded with daily by students with regard to studying for long hours are:

How can I study for a long time?
I lose concentration few minutes into study, is it normal?
How can I combine academic with my work?
How to do I study late at night without sleeping?
I am preparing for exams but sleep is really distraction me.
How do I study to pass Waec and Jamb?
Why do I always feel like sleeping of while studying?
How do I remember everything I read.

Wondering if this article can solve your problem? I think so. But, you must understand that you cannot get help until you take steps.

Success requires some process. With constant and conscious effort, studying for long hours and without loosing concentration won’t be a problem to you anymore.

The question now is, “how do I study for long, and how do I study for long without losing attention”? It is very simple. I will try my best to answer that as simple as I can in this article.

Proven Tips To Study For Long Hours And Pass Your Exams

1. Relax First:

To study when you are stressed out is the beginning of casualty. Take time to rest and regain some level of energy before you stylishly go into another serious mental process. There is no way you can concentrate or study for long hours when you are tired. Rest is important. If you do not relax, you will collapse. Rest first!

2. Eat well:

A hungry man will definitely get angry. You need a simple diet before embarking on the journey of serious study.

In fact, hunger is a major factor that makes every course boring. Even the pen you are using becomes boring to you as well. Just try to eat something light before study. OK?

3. Create A Reading Map:

Map out the areas you wish to cover for that day. Say to yourself, “I must finish this part before I stop”. Setting goals increase your study rate by ten fold (It is a rocket loader).

4. Choose a Niche:

Don’t be told. Choose the environment best conducive for you. It might be in your room, in the library or at the market. Just make sure you are ok with it.

5. Encourage the subject:

When the subject or course is boring, there is chance that you cannot study it for long hours. But there are ways you can make the course interesting. There are ways you can actually make boring course interesting; some of the ways are:

Looking for the interesting part in the subject no matter how little it may be.
Taking short breaks and coming back to continue the topic fresh.
Using simple memory games (mnemonic devices) to remember difficult parts of the course.
Study the course with a friend.
Create a group chat to discuss the subject.

6. Be Totally Engaged:

Nothing makes you study for long hours like engagement. As much as you can, pay serious attention to what you are reading. Try to keep yourself engaged by jotting down points, explaining the subject to yourself, Solving problems and saying no to external distractions for a while.

7. Entertain Yourself:

When it seems you are about to sleep off or the course seems boring again, entertain yourself in any of the following ways:

Reply your messages.
Play your favorite song
Quickly play game.
Watch a short video/movie

Then, go back to work. This strategy works wonders.

8. Group Study:

Studying in group not only make you remember 80% of everything you read, but also makes you read for a longer time.

9. Switch Location:

Walking round even as you study can put distractions aside and make you study for a very long time. Try this and let me know if it works for you…

10. Forget the Heart-Break:

If someone broke your heart or you have any other thing bordering you, make you to put them aside and focus on your study. Thinking about the events that occurred will really make you lose concentration. After studies, you can go back to that.

Recommended Ways To Study For Long Hours At Night

January 5, 2020 By Innoswagzy Pera Leave a Comment

Recommended Ways To Study For Long Hours At Night.

One of the major challenges of students all over the world is the ability to study for long hours at night without sleeping off. So many students cannot even study up to 10 minutes at night before they doze off.

I understand that it is not easy to wake up and study for long hours at night. After all, you are trapped all day with a series of engagements. The night is a golden opportunity for you to rest.

However, late-night studies are something you have to do. Especially when you combine work with academics and need to cover up some topics as fast as possible.

There is always a way out. You can train yourself to control the night. I decide when to sleeping while studying at night. This is as a result of personal training and discipline. I don’t sleep off while studying at night. In this article, I will share the secrets of studying long at night with your eyes open.

10 Tips To Study Long At Night Without Crashing

1. Develop A Positive Mindset:

Like I always say, your mindset is what determines your life-set. Wanting is caught up in the stream of determinism and it is what you continually accommodate in your mind that your body eventually responds to.

If you must cultivate the habit of studying at night, then you need to start developing it from your mind. Tell yourself, “I will study very long this night and nothing will make me sleep off”. This may not solve the problem, however, it is the beginning of the solution.

2. Watch Your Health Set:

Having developed a positive mindset set, the next thing is to check whether your health is set. By health set, I mean being physically and mentally sound to study at night.

There is nothing you can do to stay long at night if your health says no. Always ensure that you are fine. If otherwise, take the necessary medications.

Malaria makes you feel sleepy all the time. Ensure to treat malaria when you feel the symptoms. One thing about malaria is that it can be in the body for a long time. You sometimes don’t know it is Malaria.

The conclusion of the matter is that you should ensure to be healthy. If you pamper sickness, it will hammer you in turn.

3. Watch Your Diet:

It is true that the kind of food you eat is an important factor that determines whether you can stay longer at night to study. However, I cannot recommend any food. Just follow what works for you.

If eating a heavy diet before night studies makes you sleep, quit. On the other hand, if it makes you stay longer than taking light meat, stick to. The bottom line is that you must tell yourself the truth. Telling Yourself the truth is honesty but telling others is integrity.

4. Take Time To Rest First:

Like I said earlier, you are trapped every day with a series of engagements. This will make you come back home tired. Such a situation is understandable. At least blood runs in your vain.

Therefore, take at least two hours to rest or sleep before you begin night reading. This will make you wake up stronger and healthier. Exercise your body for about 5 minutes and then begin your studies.

With this, you should be able to stay awake for a longer time.

5. Be Active While Reading:

Everywhere is quiet. The atmosphere at night tends to trigger sleep the more. Only active reading will make your eyes open to study long.

When I talk about active reading, I mean a reading habit whereby you are 100% involved. The following are ways to be active while reading:

Get a jotter and pen to put down important points.
After every topic, write down what you can remember without looking at the book. This will initiate a serious mental and calculation process strong enough to keep you awake.
Recite and explain the points to yourself.
Be with a calculator to solve calculation problems when it applies.
Move around a little when your brain is getting saturated when the field of sleep is getting strong.
If sleep persists, play music while solving problems. You may want to get an earpiece to drive sleep once in a while. This will work like magic.

All of these would help.

6. Sit Down While Studying At Night:

The closer you are to the bed, the more the temptation to sleep. You need to sit on a chair while studying so that the signal to sleep will not continue to run in your brain.

When you begin to hear ministrations like, “just sleep for 5 minutes and then wake up… “; understand that the power of your foam is at work. Quickly overcome it. 5 minutes’ sleep may become 5 hours sleeping and you will wake up the next day.

7. Good Light Condition:

This is very important as well. Ensure to study under a bright light at night. Research shows that students tend to sleep off earlier when they study under a dull light. Dull lightening conditions may also affect your eyes.

8. Group Reading:

Interactive reading at night pays. When you study with one or two persons at night, it becomes easier for you to study for long hours in the middle of the night without Sleeping. This is an advanced form of active reading.

9. Miscellaneous:

There are minor activities that can help you while away time. This includes chatting, updating status, replying to emails, doing your assignment and preparing your materials for the next class or exam.

Recommended Steps To Take When You Have Poor Performance In External Exams

January 4, 2020 By Innoswagzy Pera Leave a Comment

Recommended Steps To Take When You Have Poor Performance In External Exams.

It is very easy to write or sit for an examination. But avoiding poor performance? That one is strong. Just a few years ago, you were in primary school and the concern about the poor performance wasn’t an issue for you.

Now, you have started writing competitive examinations, avoiding poor performance has become a ‘must’. For the past six years, the rate at which students perform poorly in exams has grown exponentially.

This trend can be seen in results released by:

Various departments in the University.
The West African Examination Council (WAEC).
Joint Admission And Matriculation Board (JAMB).
National Examination Council (NECO) and
Various entrance examination bodies.

To scale through in all these exams, you will agree that avoiding poor performance is the key. It goes back to the first sentence: Avoiding poor performance is much tougher.

Yet for all these scenarios we have seen, many students still fail to fight poor performance by all means.

Reasons For Poor Performance In Exams

1. Your writing is too poor:

Writing is the most important element. It is the first thing people see. You need to give examiners the impression that you understand what you are doing or risk losing his attention.

Your writing sets an expectation for the reader. He believes. “when I go through this beautiful writing, I will be able to see something meaningful” Low and behold, he sees disaster.

Great writing can be a positive or negative sentiment, but above all is that it is not very easy to ignore. Make your writing more readable. Let there be little spaces between words. Make the sentences short and simple as well. This tip will help you overcome poor performance in school.

2. You write out of point:

Avoiding poor performance is the way. Yes, you want to impress the examiner-but there’s no excuse for writing off the point.

You were asked to list 10 parts of the body, but you drew and labeled. I really commend your effort, but it was not necessary. That was not what you were asked to do. You may be telling people that you “killed” the exam. In reality, the exam “killed you”.

Go straight to the point. Write something that separates you from competitors and helps you stand out. I think this is a good way to avoid poor performance.

3. You are too slow:

One of the major factors sponsoring poor performance in examinations is the time factor. I have been in a situation where I had to attempt 100 “mighty” questions in about forty minutes. Before I knew what was going on, they had already started collecting scripts. That was when I realized that it is not just about being a “9jajointlearner”, but attempting questions in “jointstyle”.

Learn through practice. Time yourself while practicing likely exam questions. You may want to start with 5 minutes per question. As time goes on, reduce it to about 40 or 20 seconds as the case may be. It is time to start solving in seconds so as to overcome the guy called poor performance.

4. You never crossed checked:

Don’t submit your answers immediately. Cross-check it multiple times for all possible sources of error.

For example, you may have forgotten to include the S.I units. And for those writing exams with multiple-choice questions, check if the answer you picked has the correct unit.

You will be amazed by the mistakes you correct when you try to cross-check. As a matter of fact, you are not perfect. So, there is need to cross-check your work.

You see students say things like, “I wrote the exam very well, yet poor performance”. Some claim that the examiner deliberately failed them. Well, I don’t know why any examiner would want to intentionally fail you.

5. You never prepared well:

The old idea that reading only begins a night to the exam has been thoroughly debunked. You won’t become a magician overnight.

The exam you didn’t prepare well for will gladly present you with poor performance. No matter the nature of the exam, never overlook or under-rate it. The course may carry only one unit but, it is capable of making you carry-over.

I have written many articles that will help you prepare better for exams. Check some of them out here

6. You did not understand the questions:

The key to answering questions correctly is the ability to understand the questions. Before you attempt the question, do a thorough analysis. Know:

What you are asked to do.
The method you are required to adopt
What you are not asked to do.
Why you arrived at your answer.
Why you think other answers are wrong.
The focus keyword in the question.

Just understand the questions and as well use the right approach.

7. You never used the recommended texts:

Until you begin to use the recommended texts, your performance will not be recommended.

Questions always come out from recommended texts. You were using the textbooks that never represented your scheme of work. This resulted to your poor performance.

Advice: Always use the right and recommended materials to prepare for exams. You can as well have other good ones. If you find the recommended text difficult to understand, then you may want to read the ultimate guide to understanding student.txt.

8. Your poor performance resulted from y our CTRL+C and CTRL+V attitude:

You always copy and paste people’s work. How are you sure that they are correct? Who told you that the answer they will text to you in the next JAMB is correct?. Work hard and say no to examination malpractice.

9. Your performance is poor because you forgot 90% of what you read:

This is a very important factor responsible for poor academic performance. If this is the case, then you don’t have to worry. I have solved the problem in my previous article. You may want to read how to remember 90% of what you read in the link above (No 5).

10. You don’t have a strategy:

You should be able to develop personal exam answering strategies (PEAS). This will help cover up for your weaknesses.

Remember, You do not have anyone to blame for your poor performance in Exams. share

Best Regards!

10 THINGS YOU SHOULD REALLY ASK A UNIVERSITY

January 4, 2020 By Innoswagzy Pera Leave a Comment

Not sure what to ask a university? Don’t waste this opportunity! Below are some things you really should inquire about when deciding where to study abroad…

As you may know, you can ask a university any questions which you have about them by clicking on the ‘Contact institution’ button whenever you see it on our site. This way you can begin a conversation with them; let them get to know you, and obtain all the information you need to make an informed decision about where you study.

But what should you ask?

It can be easy to simply ask about the scholarship opportunities they offer. However institutions receive hundreds of such inquiries, so your message won’t stand out. The more unique or personalized your question or inquiry, the more likely it will resonate with the university staff member who reads it; it will be something different from what they see normally.

There are a lot of other things you should be asking. Just think of everything which you would want to know about a university you might be studying at (especially one in a completely different country from your own).

Here are some ideas to get you thinking about what you may ask…

‘Where can I live?’

Do you know what accommodation the institution offers? Is this accommodation on or off-campus? How expensive is this accommodation and what’s included? Are you guaranteed a place in on-campus accommodation in your first year? What support is there to find accommodation off-campus?

‘What’s the international student body like?’

What proportion of students currently enrolled are from overseas? What countries do these students come from? Are there many students from your own country? If so, are there any specific clubs or societies which are tailored to students from here?

‘How is the course taught?’

Is the course taught through lectures, lab work or seminars? How many students are in these classes? What is the structure of a normal lecture/seminar? Will you work independently, or with one or more students as part of group-work? How many hours can you expect to spend on campus each week? Does this include face-time with your professors in their office hours?

‘What would you study specifically on a course?’

Can you get some specific details on the material you’ll be studying i.e. specific authors or cases? How much depth would you go into? Do you get to choose the modules you take? Or is there a core curriculum which is mandatory for everyone?

‘What have previous graduates on this course gone on to do?’

Does the university have any notable alumni in your field? Perhaps someone famous who you look up to? What companies or organizations are these alumni now working for which you might be able to apply to later too? Could you get work experience with one of these companies or alongside one of these individuals? Are there any unusual paths in which graduates have gone down which might not be obvious?

‘What should I study if I want to study at a higher level later?’

If you have aspirations to study at the postgraduate level or a further study level, what should you study before that (i.e. at the undergraduate level)? What courses does the university offer which you could study which would allow you to make this progression? Are there pathways or pre-masters courses available?

‘Can you confirm the application deadlines?’

When are these deadlines? Are there different deadlines for students from different countries? What are the deadlines for scholarship applications for these courses? What do you need to provide by this date?

‘What’s the local area like?’

Why should you study in that region? What are the main attractions? Is there much of a nightlife? How easy is it to get around by public transport? Is it a major student town, or a mix of ages and backgrounds?

‘How can the university help me find employment after I complete my course?’

Does the university have links to local, national or international industries or organizations? Are any of these in the same field as you’re studying? Is there a careers department or service on campus? Are there are opportunities to complete work experience or practical work as part of your course?

And if you really must, ask about scholarships (but ask the right way)…

Universities will respond to inquiries about scholarships; but only if they’re specific and indicate that the student is passionate about studying at that institution.
