How not to Study?

Hello

So I did my GCSE exams recently (in which thankfully I did well in), and I got a few requests after results day asking if I could make a video providing tips on how to study for exams and the likes, so I thought, why not? Best of luck to all those that are taking any examinations soon, and I hope you guys find my take on how (not?) to study useful :smile:

This is awesome!

So your tips are......

1: Set an alarm at a suitable time, and try your best to wake up
2: Take care of your body: Have breakfast and a shower before you start studying
3: Don't spend too much time trying to find the perfect study environment!
4: Eliminate your distractions
5: Have a timetable, and stick to it
6: Engage with the material. Osmosis doesn't work!
7: Have breaks regularly
8: Never hesitate to ask for help

Finally: Focus on studies, but don't neglect other important things. Have a life outside of your books.

Nice work pal!! How long did it take you to film this?

A-levels going well?

Having a shower before studying for me just drifts me away to sleep, I wouldn't be able to focus.
And yes, when I neglect other things it tends to be quite beneficial for me.
Socialisation for me doesn't really matter, books mean everything to me.

Cool video. I have the same T-shirt as you.
