Study Less, Score More: 8 Smart Tips to Boost Your Grades

1. Use Active Recall: Test yourself instead of just rereading notes—this strengthens memory faster.

2. Study in Short Bursts (Pomodoro Technique): 25-minute focused sessions followed by 5-minute breaks beat long study hours.

3. Focus on High-Impact Topics: Use the 80/20 rule—focus on the 20% of material that gives 80% of the results.

4. Teach What You Learn: Explaining concepts to someone else helps cement your understanding.

5. Use Mind Maps or Diagrams: Visual learning improves retention and reduces study time.

6. Avoid Multitasking: Study one topic at a time to stay focused and boost comprehension.

7. Sleep Well Before Exams: Sleep helps consolidate learning—don’t trade rest for last-minute cramming.

8. Review Regularly, Not Repeatedly: Spaced repetition beats re-reading. Review key points over days/weeks.
