Stay Hydrated: Psychologists have found that just 300ml of water can boost attention by almost 25 percent. Studies show that students who keep hydrated perform significantly better than those who do not.
Rest Well: Researchers believe that sleep affects learning and memory in two ways: Lack of sleep impairs a person’s ability to focus and learn efficiently. Sleep is necessary to consolidate a memory (make it stick) so that it can be recalled in the future.
Have a Consistent Schedule: Cramming places significant stress onto the brain. When the brain is overworked too much, too often, it increases feelings of anxiety, frustration, fatigue and even confusion. Like the human body, the brain needs time to breathe, relax and refocus.
Take Short Breaks While Studying: Research suggests that students should take 5 minute breaks every 30 minutes, give or take, for effective studying. Studies show that short breaks can positively affect focus, attention, and retention.
Study in a Group: Studying in groups can prevent procrastination, increase motivation, be time efficient, and expose students to alternative, effective study skills.
Take Practice Tests Periodically: When studying for a significant, impending exam, such as the SAT, CLEP, or Regents exams, it is important to take practice tests periodically. Students should study for their exam throughout the week while taking practice tests every Sunday morning, for example.
