The Study Hub: Your Ultimate Guide to Studying for Exams
Lots of people dread studying. Long hours in the library, boring textbooks, and the pressure of exams all lead to us feeling burned out, exhausted, and just fed up.
When I was in medical school, I spent hours and hours studying, and still struggled to get all of my work done and keep the information in my head. I thought, ‘If I just work harder, if I just study for longer, then it’ll work.’ But I wasn’t making progress I wanted.
So, I decided to try and figure out how I could make studying easier, more enjoyable, and more effective.
And it worked.
The Science of Studying
After researching more about the science of how we learn, I figured out that more hours does not equal more success. You need to find a way to work smarter, not harder, with revision and study techniques that actually work.
Rather than sitting and starting at your books for hours, you can create a study routine that’s actually engaging and enjoyable and genuinely helps you pass your exams.
So, you can boost your grades, ace that final, or pass the bar, all while actually enjoying the rest of your life
