Best Study Methods

• Sit in a quiet place with no distractions like TV or noise. Switch off your mobile phone and put it away in another room.
• Sit with your back straight without slouching or bending your neck or shoulders forward. Hold the book up 12 -15" away from your eyes.
• Make sure that there is adequate light available. Use a lamp if needed.
• Make sure you get a minimum of eight hours of sleep. 
• Eat healthy food and avoid too much tea or coffee.
• Your brain works best when:
• It is well rested
• It is hydrated - drinking water is important
• It is drawing energy from enough nutrition.
• It is unstressed - stress hinders learning.
• It has seen the material learnt several times - repeat and write your chapters.
• Take short breaks after 40 -60 minutes of sitting - stretch, walk in fresh air, talk and refresh yourself.
• Make a timetable and stick to it.
• Break down your chapter into smaller portions. 
• Write down points in each portion and learn them- create a link in them to remember.
• Write down the points. Read several times again.
• Write down answers to questions without looking at the book.
• Focus when you read- avoid reading aloud.
