Best advice I can share; (WARNING😱🥸- Long post)

1. Determine your learning style -🙃🙃🙃 can't stress how important this is. It forms the foundation of how you approach everything and can save you tremendous time and unnecessary expenses.

2. Get organized. Use a planner and a checklist to organize your activities. Falling behind is TABOOOO😳😳😳🥺🥺🥺 and a death sentence!

3. Practice anxiety combating strategies like avoiding studying 3 hours before exams, getting enough rest💤, eating/drinking well, exercise, etc

4. For each test you don’t do well on, do an assessment and write down all the factors that you think contributed to your unsuccess

5. Tackle each of those factors addressing the root cause so you don't repeat the same errors.

How to Make a Study Plan
❤❤❤🖤🖤🖤💚💚💚

List out all your assignments, their due dates and how much each its worth

Determine how many weeks or days you have to do an assignment/test.
Break up your workload across the weeks and schedule them in your planner
This helps you prioritize which ones to focus on in case you are in a real crunch.

Calculate the Assignment time. Use the guide below to calculate how long you should spend on an assignment or preparing for exams. In general, for every 5% worth of assignment/test, you should plan to prepare/study for 2 hours.

5% = 2 hours
10% = 4 hours
15% = 6 hours
​20 % = 8 Hours

25% = 10 hours
30% = 12 hours
35% = 14 hours
40% = 16 hours

Use an ✔️✔️✔️Assignment Tracker ✔️✔️✔️ to break big assignments into smaller, more manageable steps. This same system can be used for test and exam preparation.
