The 10 mandatory student tasks for study

A few days before the end of the course, a large number of students are going to face the final exams, or the new university entrance exams (PAU), the old selectivity. For students who find themselves in this situation, the author of the essaywriter review has consulted the expert teachers of Master.D, who have written a decalogue of advice that will help them in the hard work.

1. Unhook yourself from the net, turn off your I-phone, tablet, or computer

Don't be fooled, no hacker has stolen your test questions to post on Twitter. All you need is the notes, a table and a chair in a light and quiet place. Everything else, if there is motivation, is expendable. If you're one of those who can't find the motivation until the day before the exam: try sitting in front of the notes every day at the same time, at least you'll get inspiration ready. Besides, routine helps concentration.

2. Do a first in-depth reading of the subject so that you know what you are dealing with

3. Divide the matter among the available time

Includes intermediate summaries if the subject matter is broad and a final in-depth review. When you do, be realistic, you know yourself better than anyone else. Write your schedule in a calendar and post it on a wall in front of your study place.

4. Do a second reading, underlining

The main concepts and making sure you are understanding all the ideas you need to memorize. It helps to use colors in the underlining.

5. Make outlines

It will force you to analyze all the ideas in the text and, more importantly, to classify and relate them to each other. It is advisable to make a general outline on a sheet and auxiliary sub-schemes to have a comprehensive view of the whole matter.

6. Memorize

If you haven't succeeded with the readings, with the underlining and the outlines, make summaries, read them aloud, use mnemonic rules, transform the "items" you have to memorize into images that relate to each other, write everything down, again and again, repetition is the only way.

7. Evaluate your knowledge, self-examine

If you have them, take the tests from previous years on the same subject and see where you failed and why. Then re-study what you haven't learned well. If there were failures in study or comprehension that prevented memorization, correct them now.

8. Do the final review, one last in-depth reading of all the material if possible

If this is not possible, read carefully the elaborated outlines or summaries.

9. Eve of the exam

You are already prepared intellectually, prepare yourself psychologically and physically for it: eat healthily and normally, relax, if you can take a walk and sleep well.

10. During the exam, first read all the questions carefully and start answering the ones that score highest

If they all score the same, start with the ones you know best, and leave a blank space at the end of each one in case you remember something new later. Check the writing, make sure there are no grammatical mistakes or style errors and remember: answer only what you are asked.
