now that it\u2019s midterm season, everyone is hunkering down and hitting the books. but in order to succeed at studying, there are a few crucial mistakes that everyone must avoid.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
aka procrastinating. you tell yourself you\u2019ll just check facebook for a few minutes before you start working, but that can quickly turn into an hour. just start studying right away and only take breaks when you\u2019ve truly earned them. you\u2019ll have earned a break when you complete an important task, or when you\u2019ve worked for at least 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
simply reading over information is not enough to get it to actually stick in your head. you\u2019ll likely start mindlessly reading the words without understanding what they mean. even copying down notes is better than reading. but best of all is asking yourself questions about the information so that you can prepare for the actual test scenario.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
although it seems like a no-brainer, it\u2019s hard to do in practice. it\u2019s so tempting to study with a fun group of people, but in reality, you probably won\u2019t get much done. if you really want to do well on the test, you need to prioritize working over socializing.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
waiting until the night before is always a bad plan. you\u2019ll save yourself a lot of stress and get a better grade if you split the studying up over the course of several nights. why pull an all-nighter when you don\u2019t need to?<\/p>\n
