8 smart study techniques

Time for school and it's no surprise that many of us are determined to study smarter instead of longer. But which study tips and tricks actually work scientifically, and can help you get those perfect scores.

Here are smart tricks:

First step: 

Research shows that study sessions are most effective in small short chunks. Instead of cramming in a ten-hour study session, it's much more effective to spread it out into 20-30 minutes sessions over a few weeks. This is because your brain is better at encoding information into the synapses in short repeated sessions as opposed to one large one. This is why, even learning different skills, whether it's swimming, cycling, or a singing lesson often follows the same format. Mostly, cramming and pulling all-nighters may be a ritual in many of the students which turns out the reason for the lowest grades. After prolonged study sessions, reasoning and memorizing; may be negatively affected after whole days.

Step Two:

Instead, setting up specific times in a day, or during the week, just to study primes your brain by creating a routine and overtime studying actually becomes easier, as your brain is trained to learn in those moments.

Step three:

Many of us spend hours passively re-reading our notes or highlighting a textbook. Studies have shown this to be ineffective. It doesn't improve your understanding of topics nor does it link key concepts together. It can even be detrimental, as it draws your attention to less important information. Flashcards, on the other hand, are proven to be excellent memory reinforcement tools whether, during your scheduled study times, or during off times like a bus ride to home.

Step four:

It also helps to have a specific goal for each study session. Pick one aspect you're focused on whether it's balancing chemical equations or learning how to conjugate french birds. If you can't explain it simply, then you don't understand it well enough.

Step Five:

If students in the individual were asked to learn a passage and then half were told they will be tested on the material, while the other half were told they would have to teach it to other students participants. Expecting to teach it, did much better on understanding. When you're expected to teach, your brain organizes the information in a more logical coherent structure of course, so practice well!

Step Six:

Practice not only do practice tests for your brains in your environment but even if you make mistakes, they help identify gaps in your knowledge. Practice tests have also been proofed to increase confidence, then by leading to better performance. So where should you be studying?

Step Seven:
