There is a common saying that if GPA were to be airtime, some persons won’t have been able to even flash; left alone place a call.
In fact, some persons would only be able to send “please call me” text. This, most of the time, is not as a result of laziness on the part of the student.
However, It could be traced to the study techniques employed. Good study tips make your result come in “bytes”, not “bits”.
In my recent article, which is currently attracting very high viewership, I explained the 15 CGPA killing mistakes and the possible solutions.
I explained factors like: not completing the scheme, addiction to technology, procrastination and so on.
In addition to that, I outlined their effect on your GPA. Bad study habits can as well cripple your GPA while good study tips boost your GPA.
I think that I am actually in good position to write this post. This is because, my GPA can place international calls and as well be enough to buy good data bundle. In this article, I will be treating the top 10 study tips to boost your GPA.
Take a look at them….
SCIENTIFICALLY VERIFIED STUDY TIPS TO BOOST YOUR GPA
1. REHEARSE VIA WRITING
Some persons actually learn better when they rehearse through writing. Take a look at the information that you need to remember, write them down and copy it over and over in different sheets of paper.
This study tip actually work for most of my friends. Try it out and share your testimony with us.
2. USE MNEMONIC
I, Master Solution, the CEO of Solutionfans and Author of this post uses this technique.
Use abbreviations to remember what you are studying. It could be the letter of each word combined.
For example, when studying stress and strain, PEYMB could be used to remember the various levels of strain. Where P stands for Proportional limit, E stands for Elastic limit and so on.
In fact, Solution Tagline (#1 Source for Educational Information) can be broken down into “iFENS” (i=information, F=For, E=Educational, N=Number one and S=Source).
Is it not easier this way? It is. There are many study tips out there, but this is a must use tip. This is an easy tip to raise your GPA.
3. BREAK IT DOWN
This is an elder brother to the Mnemonic method discussed above. Don’t try to read everything in one sitting, you are not a computer. In fact, computers don’t even do that.
Computers process data in bits. This is why we have 32bits and 64bits computers around. Breaking it down involves breaking information into small chunks and reviewing them consistently over a long period of time.
So don’t try to memorize the entire periodic table in one sitting—instead learn a few rows every day and review each lesson before starting anything new. Use this study tip to raise your GPA this semester.
4. Move around.
I have discovered that studying the same stuff in a different place every day makes us less likely to forget that information.
If the text seem difficult to comprehend, moving around or changing location won’t be a bad idea.
This is a secret of getting good grades in college.
5. SHUFFLE IT
This is one problem of monopoly in business. Work become too routine that you easily lose interest. You keep doing one thing all over again.
Don’t stick to one topic; instead, study a bunch of different material in one sitting. For example, doing a bunch of division problems in a row means every time we approach a problem, we know it’ll require some division.
But doing a series of problems that require multiplication, division, or addition means we have to stop and think about which strategy is best.
6. RECORDING
This is among the study tips you should consider. I do this a lot of time. I record lecture series and listen to them at my leisure time. Once in a while, I record my jotter and as well create slides to aid learning.
7. STUDY IN GROUP
I have touched this topic back to back. From how to remember 90% of what you read to understanding student.txt and GPA killing mistakes. Honestly, it has been a hit back to back. The power of studying in group cannot be over-emphasized. In fact, I have a group called study group. Pick a few studious pals and get together every few days to review the material.
8. PUT YOURSELF TO TEST.
Quizzing ourselves may be one of the best ways to prepare for the real deal. And don’t worry about breaking a sweat while trying to remember the name of the 7th U.S. president. The harder it is to remember a piece of information in practice mode, the more likely we are to remember it in the future. This is one of the best study tips.
9. PLAN
To plan ahead is to use your head. Plan weakly study time table and try to follow it. Don not procrastinate this time around.
10. ASK.COM
Ask questions, ask again, continue to ask until you get answers. Don’t skip that topic.
If your GPA can place a call, Please add your study habits below so that others can learn from you as well.
