STUDY TIPS
  Combination of Subjects
Study a combination of subjects during a day i. e. after studying 2Ò3 hrs of mathematics shift to
any theoretical subject for 2 horrs. When we study a subject like math, a particular part of the
brain is working more than rest of the brain. When we shift to a theoretical subject, practically the
other part of the brain would become active and the part studying maths will go for rest.
 
  Revision
Always refresh your memory by revising the matter learned. At the end of the day you must revise
whatever youÌve learnt during that day (or revise the previous days work before starting studies
the next day). On an average brain is able to retain the newly learned information 80% only for 12
hours, after that the forgetting cycle begins. After this revision, now the brain is able to hold the
matter for 7 days. So next revision should be after 7 days (sundays could be kept for just
revision). This ways you will get rid of the problem of forgetting what you study and save a lot of
time in restudying that topic. 
 
  Use All Your Senses 
Whatever you read, try to convert that into picture and visualize it. Our eye memory is many times
stronger than our ear memory since the nerves connecting brain to eye are many times stronger
than nerves connecting brain to ear. So instead of trying to mug up by repeating it loudly try to
see it while reapeating (loudly or in your mind). This is applicable in theoritical subjects. Try to use
all your senses while learning a subject matter. On an average we remember 25% of what we
read, 35% of what we hear, 50% of what we say, 75% of what we see, 95% of what we read,
hear, say and see.
 
  Breathing and Relaxation
Take special care of your breathing. Deep breaths are very important for relaxing your mind and
hence in your concentration. Pranayam can do wonders to your concentration, relaxation and
sharpening your mined (by supplying oxygen to it). Aerobic exercises like skipping, jogging,
swimming and cycling are also very helpful.
