Study Guidelines

Study Methodology

Every student should devote sufficient time to his/her studies. There is no magic formula but adopting the right study habits, will keep you free from anxiety and give you a feeling of confidence. ? Study Conditions.

  •   Avoid all distractions: Do not let your mind wander or be distracted from what you are doing. For this select a quiet place.
  •   Keep ready all the materials you might require close at hand so that you do not waste time and energy looking for them.
  •   Study under proper light, as poor light tires the eyes and you lose concentration.
  • Have proper ventilations, as fresh air keeps the mind alert.

Make a plan for study

  •   Keep in mind what you have to study, how much you have to study and the time you have, at your disposal.
  •   Strike a balance between leisure and study. Organize a timetable in such a way that you have both fun and sufficient time for study. ‘All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy’. Fun is essential because an exhausted mind cannot absorb what it studies.
  •   Decide when to study and what to study. Make a weekly timetable. It is better to have short frequent period of each subject than long hours for one. Start with interesting and easy lessons/topics and then move on to difficult ones.
  •   Render total attention to what you are studying. You will absorb more and understand better. 5. Do not study when you are tired. Relax with something light for a short while and come back to your studies. Do not confuse laziness with tiredness.
  •   Understand the material you have to learn as a whole.
  •   Re-learn and revise previous lessons frequently. If you have learnt mathematical formula or grammar rules, practice their use, for practice makes one perfect.
  •   Do not try to learn anything by heart. Read the chapter carefully, understand the ideas and write the essential points.
  •   Do not learn from notes but get the most important points and put them down in order, under headings and sub-headings.
  • During the weekend, set aside some time to revise the week’s work concentrating on points you haven’t yet grasped. Regularity and concentration are the key words for success.
