Summary of How to STUDY so FAST that it feels ILLEGAL😳
Key Strategies for Efficient Studying
- Manage Expectations:
- Approach studying with a positive mindset. Instead of thinking, "This is going to take forever," reframe it to, "This will only take X amount of time."
- This shift in perception can lead to increased focus and efficiency.
- Focus on Weak Points (80/20 Rule):
- Identify and concentrate on the 20% of study material that will yield 80% of the results, especially areas that are weak or heavily tested.
- Avoid spending too much time on strong points, as it does not contribute to new learning.
- Prioritize Past Papers:
- Engage in past paper practice, as it helps familiarize you with exam structures and common questions.
- Learning from mistakes during these practices is more beneficial than traditional studying methods.
- Use a Timer:
- Set a Timer for study sessions to create a sense of urgency and awareness of time spent.
- This encourages efficiency and helps avoid the feeling of endless studying.
- Set Unrealistically Realistic Timeframes:
- Assign shorter, specific time limits to tasks that usually take longer, which can lead to surprising efficiency gains.
