Study HARD or study SMART?

Most students prepared to study the hard way through memorization of facts and drilling of exercises. Sometimes, it is bad to study hard because you will try to cramp everything in your brain and it tires not only your mind but your emotional and physical as well. Imagine if you are trying to absorb everything, you will sometimes stay up till late at night and when you cannot remember the facts and you will feel disappointed with yourself. 

That is why, you should study smart.

Plan ahead what to study and set time to study. Do not try to absorb everything at once. Chill and relax. Study every day, I mean provide time to study at least 2 hours a day and this will prevent you to study last minute, usually the night before examinations. This is bad because you will go blur as you are trying to memorize everything. Make notes after class, better is to sketch mind maps as it will make it easier for you to remember everything in just a piece of paper.

Make it nice and colourful as it will motivate you to read it. Keep all your mind maps and notes in a file so that you know where to look when you forget something. It is good when you have files for every subjects. Organize them nicely. Be a smart students and I am sure you will find learning is not bad or difficult at all. It is you who make it hard. Make sure to have fun too. Do not just sit and study for hours and still get nothing. Talk to your friends, discuss with your lecturers and ask your seniors when you do not know something.

Start study smart now instead of study hard!

Apart from choosing your favourite university, bear in mind that the most important thing is to choose the right course. The questions to ask yourself are:

•  What are the things you like to do?
•  What is it that you like to be / become?
•  What is your ambition?
•  What are your favourite subjects?
• What subjects are you good at?

Then, it is all come down to your result. Make sure that your result is good enough to pass the entry requirements set by the university and the Ministry of Higher Education before you apply.

If you choose course such as Education, Music, Arts and Designs, Architecture or any course with interview and test, be well prepared because you will be judged by the panels or the interviewers whether  you are right for such course. Be confident and be prepared.
