Building good study habits early pays off for life. Here's what works:
Time management
Use the Pomodoro technique: 25 minutes focused study, 5 minutes break. After 4 cycles, take a longer break.
Note-taking
Don't copy everything. Summarize in your own words. Use bullet points and diagrams. Review notes within 24 hours.
Revision
Spaced repetition: revise on Day 1, Day 3, Day 7, Day 14. This strengthens long-term memory.
Environment
Find a quiet, well-lit space. Keep phone away. Have water and snacks nearby.
