Switching between tasks, like texting or watching videos, divides attention. This reduces focus, making it harder to understand and remember what you study.

Studying for hours without breaks tires your brain. Short breaks every 45–60 minutes help refresh your mind, improve focus, and boost memory retention.
Trying to learn everything in one night overwhelms your brain. Studying a little every day strengthens understanding and helps recall during exams.

Marking large sections of text does not help retention. Instead, summarising key ideas in your own words improves understanding and recall.

Reading notes repeatedly feels productive but does not reinforce learning. Testing yourself or explaining concepts aloud helps retain information better.

Your brain links your bed with sleep, making it harder to stay alert. Studying at a desk with good lighting improves concentration and productivity.

Skipping sleep for extra study time weakens memory and focus. A well-rested brain processes information faster and performs better in exams.

Copying notes word for word without thinking leads to poor understanding. Writing summaries and making connections improves learning.

Music with lyrics competes for your brain’s attention. Soft instrumental music or a quiet space helps you concentrate better while studying.
Struggling alone slows progress. Asking teachers or classmates for explanations clears doubts and strengthens understanding of difficult topics.
