Study Tips for Managing Multiple Subjects

Introduction

Address stress and being overwhelmed from studying many subjects
Five unique study tips to help manage and study multiple subjects simultaneously

Avoid dedicating an entire day to one subject.
- Studying a subject on one day and not revisiting it until later in the week leads to forgetting material.
Divide subjects into batches:
- For 8 subjects or less: Split into 2 batches.
- For more than 8 subjects: Split into 3 batches.
Alternate study sessions:
- One for learning the topic.
- Another for practice questions.
Mix easier subjects with harder ones:
- Example: Combine history, art, and math.
- Avoid combining history, biology, and math.

Dedicate first 1-2 hours of your day:
- Review previously learned material.
- Prevents forgetting.
Break study time into manageable chunks:
- Morning, afternoon, and night sessions.
- Avoid 5-hour straight study sessions.

Break study sessions into two:
- One session in the morning, another at night.
Active Recall Technique:
- Morning: Write down everything remembered about each subtopic.
- Review and correct notes.
- Night: Repeat the process.
Benefits:
- Cement information in memory.

Avoid studying similar categories together:
- Example: Don’t study biology, history, and geography in one session.
Mix it up:
- Study history, then math, then English.
Keeps mind engaged, reduces boredom.

Highlight key objectives in each chapter:
- Study these first; likely to be on exams.
Master key objectives first:
- Then move on to the rest of the chapter.
Review skipped parts if time allows.

During exam week:
- Focus on most important pages marked earlier.
- Recap corrections from past papers.
- Review topics learned.
Night before the exam:
- Relax, avoid cramming.
- Reduces stress and chance of blanking out.
