Hello. Yes, here to do a random post once again. MUAHAHA. N-level Prelims are nearing & so are the Os. Scary huh. I know, "Time is a limiting factor." But nonetheless, I shan't let it bother me.
Take note of these few things:
You MUST have an aim!
If you have an aim, you will at least have something to achieve. Don't put your targets as something you know you will be able to get. Do you think that athlete's practise just to maintain their record time, or to improve their current record. Here are my targets for Prelims, it may seem close to impossible...but I will try to work on it:
B3 - English
A1 - Emaths
A2 - Amaths
A2 - Malay
B3 - C.Humanities
B4 - Physics
A2 - Chemistry
B4 - Biology
L1R5 - 13
Spend a MINIMUM of 2 hours for study
Yes, 2 LONG DREADFUL hours at least! This DOES NOT include the time you spent studying in school. For me, the most ideal study schedule has both Maths & C.Humanities/Science in it. It may be late to start a habit, but you MUST motivate yourself.
Another thing I realised is that you should refrain yourself from sleeping in the afternoon. This may not be the same for everyone but...in my opinion, afternoon is the BEST time to study as nobody is at home. You will have a peaceful house all to yourself. & later at night, you need not have to force yourself to stay awake. :D However, if you are used to studying late at night or at 3am in the morning, follow what you are used to. But, you MUST leave 2 hours everyday for studying, at least.
Take care of your health.
Drink a lot of water. Have a box of raisins or cut some fruits which you can chew on when you are studying. :D Give your brain and body a treat! Take breaks once in a while to freshen up.
Also, if there is time...do some light exercises when you are free. Go for a slow jog, do some jumping jacks, sit-ups...anything to get your adrenaline pumping. In my opinion, it's true that a healthy body = a healthy mind. :D
Final words...
This is a simple guide to follow. You may have already applied them to your daily life. Work hard, persevere... :D WE CAN DO IT! I wish everyone all the best. GOODNIGHT.
