Primary and secondary school levels
listen to class attentively, go back home and revise what have been taught. What's the most important thing is to understand what's been taught, not to memorize what's been taught. Try to find real life applications if possible. Otherwise, books you read also helps. If you can remember some details of that book and it has been covered in the textbook, it will help you understand the topic taught.
Tertiary (ITE, JC, Poly and Uni) students attend the tutorials and lectures regularly. Try not to miss anyone of them. If in doubt, ask. Best to read up more books as you are no longer being spoon-fed when you are in primary and secondary school. Understanding is a must, no point memorizing as the information has no end to it. Pick up the main points, find some good examples to support it. You need to understand the examples, so you could explain it well during exams. If not, it's of no use.
As for lifestyle, find the best time to study. Some people work best in the morning, while others at night. Have a good break before you study, eat well and rest well. Before exams, don't burn midnight oil. Learn whatever is possible during the day and learn some again on the exam day. -
for me, there's no other way other than practise practise practise...do your assesment book from head to toe and from toe to head and do it again and again
practise until you get everything in ur head -
Simple, they don't come online to forums and post threads on how to study and prepare for exams.

I am doing my A's this year. The problem with me is that:
1) I am restless and I can't concentrate on studying for long. This means I have a short attention span.
2) I find that what I am doing does not interest me at all.
3) What I am learning has no use to me in my future life. At least that's what I think now.
Is there anyone out there who feel the same way as me? -

i took econs last time one.also find that its of no use but still take cux i like it better than physics i guess.. -
I can't really help with 2) and 3), but for 1)...
Try scheduling short blocks of studying periods? Like half an hour to 45 minutes for a topic or subject, take about 10-15 minutes break, then study again?
I don't think this is advisable for last-minute studying (like your test or exam is six hours later) but it should be fine for everyday revision.
As for no interest in subject... Can't really be helped? Just have to force yourself, I guess. -
Go library with a cup of coffee. Leave when its closing time.Originally posted by Lovelorn?:I don't know if this topic has ever been discussed before, but all comments and advice are welcomed... Thanks... -

Always get yourself started very early in the morning.
Thats where your brain are at most efficient.
Have milk / protien helps your mind to stay alert.
