Study Tips

Study Tips for students

Know ‘sweet sections’ of the syllabus
This is the killer tactic that’ll help you score more marks in exams with less effort! Sweet section means portions of a subject that carry more marks. One may find such sweet sections by referring previous years’ question papers.
 Analyze each subject using this way and arrive upon the sweet sections. Make sure that you prepare them well at any cost. Prepare them in such a way that you’ll be able to solve those problems/answer those questions even after waking up from deep sleep!
 Usually, most papers have a collection of questions that are usually derived from these ‘sweet sections’. So, preparing them well will help you get like 40% marks right away.
Know ‘regular questions’ and prepare accordingly
Just like sweet section, most papers also have the ‘usual suspects’, which are some questions that are asked almost each time! Go through previous years’ question papers and find such questions that are notorious for being asked repeatedly in each semester’s paper.
 Hangout with the studious folks
Hanging out with the studious friends has benefits of its own! They have plenty of useful resources like- notes, personal study materials, information about questions likely to be asked etc, which you may want to have access to!
 You may have access to those resources too, if you manage to get into their friend group! Also, it is nice to be around such folks for they also may help you clear your doubts and even teach you!
Also, by teaching them, I used to get more and more revision. Because, teaching others was like going through the stuff I had learned again and again- revision that is!
