Tip 1
Have you ever wondered what time of day is best for
studying?
Some people say it is better to study in the early
morning. And some say you should study at night
before retiring.
I can tell you from my experience that if you require
memorizing a subject you should study at night
before retiring. Because in that case your brain will
get rest after learning a new subject and recall will be
better.
But when you are stuck suppose with a mathematical
problem. You should try to solve it in the earlymorning. Because then your brain will be fresh from
sound sleep. And throw new ideas your way. But you
should note that having sound sleep the night before
is very important here.
Tip 2
Do not take heavy meal before study. Taking heavy
meal makes you feel sleepy (not an ideal state to
-

continue study). Because then blood circulates more
towards your stomach than your brain.
Tip 3
Reading while you stand on your feet makes your
reading faster. You can use this technique when time
is short.
Tip 4
After studying or learning something involving
physical activity go directly to bed and sleep do notdo anything in-between.
Tip 5
If possible, at times read aloud. Reading aloudmakes your reading speed slower. But you benefit
from it because more area of your brain gets involved
when you read aloud. While reading aloud you hear

yourself and the part of your brain assigned with task
of hearing gets activated. And records what you read.
Tip 6
Using multimedia in your study will also help you to
utilize more of your brain. You can use recorded
audio. You can get some video based course on your
subject. Students of some subjects can even play
some games which will increase their efficiency. For
example there are certain games which if played by
medical surgeons (or any body for that matter) make
their hand-eye coordination better, which is very
important for precision surgery.
These days highway drivers, pilots get trained usingsimulators to minimize the loss of life and property.
Computer network engineers use affordable software
to analyze, model, debug computer networks.
So, possibilities are endless and very much affordable
(specially if two three student or enthusiasts join
together). You should just be aware of the
possibilities of using multiple media (i.e. multimedia)that your subject offers.

Tip 7
If possible you should take training of public
speaking. It will destroy your tense feeling before agroup. And it will also teach you to think promptly
and on your feet.
A worth checking course http://pwrinfo.com/sun/spkpublic
Tip 8
Take time for relaxing. Do not keep reading for hours
together. Take 15 -20 minutes break every hour.
Take break when you feel stuck with your topic.
When you read again after relaxing, you will findnew insight and be able to move on.
Tip 9
Do some kind of exercise regularly. It need not besomething heavy, even light exercise for 20 minutes
will do. You require this because a healthy mind
needs a healthy body to live.

You can join some dance class. Age is no bar here.
Beauty of dance is it is a good form of exercise and at
the same time a pure source of joy.
Do love yourself and accept yourself. Doingsomething good (even as simple as getting good
grade) may be very tough if you do not love and
accept yourself. But here I do not mean that you
should be blind to your negative qualities. You
should just be aware of the negatives and try to get
rid of those (wherever possible) but you should not
despise or hate yourself for that. We are all human
beings; coexistence of negative with positive is the
norm of our society.
Tip 10
Read the lesson to be covered in class beforehand,
even if you do not understand everything. You will
be able to ask better questions to understand the
subject fully. And believe me you will be way ahead
of anybody else.

Tip 11
If you need to present some topic related to your
subject (or any subject for that matter) before yourclass or any other forum first prepare your
presentation then practice delivering it before a
mirror. It will make your actual presentation lively.
Tip 12
In your residence if you need to study in a group see
that group is not having more than three members.
Preferably you should study alone in a distraction
free, well lit and well ventilated room.
Tip 13
Do not study when you are tired. When you' re tired
your brain will not work properly. In that case you
may have difficulty in understanding your subjectand this way you may form a wrong idea about the
difficulty level of the topic. Plan and manage your
time properly. If you read this book fully and apply

the principles laid out you will never require studying
when you are tired!
Tip 14
If you use computer for your study or project work
make sure your posture is correct.
Take regular backup of your files if you keep your
notes, reference materials etc in your computers Disk.
You should be overly cautious if you depend on your
computer for your study because computer failure
before exam can prove costly.
Tip 15
When you read or write, position yourself in such a
way that light comes over your left shoulder. This
way when you write your writing hands shadow will
not annoy you.(Here it has been assumed that you are right hander.
If you are not you should make appropriate change).

Tip 16
Avoid reading in moving vehicle. Your eyes will find
it difficult to focus and will get tired fast. If youreally want to utilize your travel time think of
recording your lesson. You can do it using your own
voice. Or you can use various software available in
the market like TextAloudMP3 or ReadPleasePLUS.
Then you can use any portable MP3 player and carry
the sound around.
Tip 17
To master a flowing writing style, just copy for 10
minutes daily, a masterpiece of a good modern writerin your notebook. Note if you read the masterpiece
you are not going to improve your style of writing.
You must copy the work of a good writer in your
notebook for acquiring good writing style.
Tip 18
Revise regularly.

When you learn something, new neural connections
are created. But these connections or pathways are
not permanent. Revision makes these pathways
strong and helps you to retain the learned subject foryears in your memory.
Tip 19
Keep a notebook and write salient points while you
study. Research shows you will retain more of the
material studied if you do this (even if you do not
touch the notebook again).
Tip 20
Practice building vocabulary. A rich vocabulary will
also facilitate speed reading. Keep good dictionaries
of various subjects in your collection (like dictionary
of computer terms, dictionary of geological terms
etc). If you can spare some time every week reading
these topical dictionaries your vocabulary will grow
with your general knowledge.

Tip 21
Remember paying close attention to the subject is not
enough. You should make logical association withyour existing knowledge base and experience.
Tip 22
Before reading a book, read the contents section first.
And after that read the detailed content section and
start reading the book only after that. In this way you
will form a general idea of the matter that is covered
in the book. This will improve your comprehension
of the subject matter.
Tip 23
When writing examinations make sure lines are
having enough space in between. This simple thing
will make your written answers more legible even ifyour handwriting is still the same. And more legible
answer means better grade.

Tip 24
Use a method of notebook numbering which willfacilitate management of notebooks. Frequently it has
been seen that notebooks have a tendency to misplace
themselves so follow a system to keep notebooks
organized.
Tip 25
Memory can be divided into two general categories.
Short-term memory and long-term memory. Here I
explain for you how this affects your study.
As you commit something to your memory for future
recall you need to have certain ideas about memory
functioning.
When you first learn something it gets recorded in
your short-term memory. And unless you revise the
lesson with a short period of time (usually around 15-
20 days) it goes out of your memory. If you try to
revise after that period of time everything will appear
almost new to you. But if you revise that within 15
20 days it gets recorded to your long-term memory.Once recorded in your long-term memory it stays
there for years.

Tip 26
For good outcome of your study efforts make the firstimpression very carefully. Here I explain what does
that mean.
If your first impression is wrong then no amount of
revision will help you. Revisions will strengthen the
wrong conception.
To avoid this you should keep in touch with your
teacher or some expert of your subject.
And if your subject provides opportunity of
application of learned principles (if you study Physics
you can solve problems, if you are learning computer
programming you can write a program and run it) by
all means take it.
Tip 27
If you' re working with material which you need to
retain for a long time just write everything afterreading. Writing makes you rethink the subject. And
more neural pathways are created as writing requires
coordinated action of many part of your body.

If you can not write without opening the book write
with your book open in front of you.
Tip 28
How you distribute your revision exercise is also
important. You should schedule your 1st revision
within 3 weeks and 2nd
revision within 3months.
Tip 29
Do not avoid practical aspects. If your subject gives
you an option of practical by all means do all thepractical. If you read history go to various places of
historic importance (preferably related to your
syllabus). You get the point.
Tip 30
If you study physics or chemistry solve various
numeric problems of the subject other than regular

lab work. If you study electronics do solve various
circuit problems on paper in addition to lab projects.
Being a student of Electronics I can not
overemphasize this. Solving practical problems onpaper is very important.
Tip 31
Having difficulty in recalling something? Deep
Breathing may come to your rescue. Here I discuss
why & how.
Deep breathing helps by supplying extra oxygen to
your brain and body tissues. Deep breathing relaxes
your whole being.
It is a very simple process and produces almostinstantaneous result. All you have to do is taking
20 slow and deep breaths to feel the magic.
Whenever you feel tense, overpowered by situation
use it. When you find difficulty in recalling
something use it.
For example you are speaking to a gathering and you
never have done so before you will almost certainlybe tense and forget your lines. Using this technique
will see you through in such situation.
Many people have successfully used this technique
before a difficult examination.

Tip 32
In this tip I give you a super power strategy to handle
difficult to comprehend subject.
First go through the study material. Just don' t try to
understand anything. After finishing that, read the
material attentively.
When I came to know about this small technique
from one of our teacher I tried this on the very same
day and it worked like magic. It works best when
used with 2 to 3 paragraphs at a time. First read two
or three paragraphs without concentrating on the
details at all. The less you concentrate the better.
Then read the paragraphs with concentration. You
will have almost no difficulty to understand the
material. Though others may find the sameparagraphs difficult to understand.
After finishing with the 1st set of paragraphs you
can read other paragraphs of your book employing
same technique.
See you need nothing more than your book (whatever
be your subject) to test this technique. Why dont you
do it right now?

Tip 33
Learn speed reading. You will be doing more reading
within much less time (we all can increase ourreading speed). And at the same time your power of
comprehension will grow. Because while speed
reading you will automatically ignore various small
distractions. Speed reading enhances your memory.
So your benefit is manifold.
Following speed reading courses are worth checking.

Tip 34
If I was asked to give you simply one secret in this
book I' ll give you the following sentence.
Consider, think a certain task is easy and it becomes
easy. Read the above sentence as many times as you
can because if you can commit it to your memory and
do as it says it will change your life.
Start applying it from this very moment as nothing
more is required to use it than your desire.

Tip 35
When studying or working on an assignment try to be
in a happy mindset. You are more intelligent andeffective when you' re happy.Yes! You better believe
it.
Tip 36
Learning to simulate happy mindset will help you in
your effort to learn new things. Here I give you the
techniques for simulating happy mindset whenever
you need.
Think of a time from your past when you were really
happy. It can be any thing like your birthday party oflast year or your latest visit to local zoo. Picture
those happy moments and you will be filled with joy
and happiness.
Your task is to practice reliving those happy
moments and be happy. After you practice it for few
weeks you will not require the elaborate process.
Then you can be in happy mindset whenever yourequire, bypassing conscious thought about past
happy moments.
When you reach this state, use this happy mindset
before starting your study session.

Tip 37
A small creative visualization session before starting
your study can help you a lot. Here I explain what
visualization is and how to use it for your benefit.
You can use creative visualization to get whatever
you want and that includes better grade in school and
college, super learning power for learning new things
for your business or professional life. Or whatever
your heart desires.
Visualization is a technique which is nowadays being
used by top athletes, professional managers andmedical practitioners. It helps one to utilize full
power of his or her mind.
How this technique works nobody knows fully but it
is fact that if it is used, it works.
Before going farther I will ask you to open your mindand throw away your disbeliefs.

How visualization works is a real mystery. But doing
it and getting result is very simple even a four-year-
old can do it.
The process can be summed up in just two words
Relax and Picture.
Thats it.
By Relax I mean to do visualization you have to relax
your body and mind.
And by Picture I mean in your minds eye you need to
see the picture of your future as you like it to be. You
require to do this in your relaxed state.
For example if you want to lose weight you can view
yourself in your minds eye to have normal bodyweight. You can imagine yourself taking part in
various sporting activity which requires physical
fitness.
If you want to increase your learning ability, you can
visualize yourself doing very good in your class, in
your business or in your professional life. You canvisualize that you are being praised by your peers.
Others are coming to you for your suggestion for
your guidance etc.

I think you get the point.
In context of doing visualization, I would like to give
you some tips.
One. Though there is so right or wrong time for
doing visualization. You will get better result if you
visualize before going to bed at night.
Two. Cast away your doubts. Do this ritual every
night before going to bed. And you will see the
difference.
Three. Do not think over how it works. Because
nobody knows exactly how it works. All I can tell
you it does work.
If you want to know more there are various good
books and courses which you may find useful.
Tip 38
Do not avoid any apparent tough topic of your
subject. Some area may appear tough if you do not
learn the prerequisites. Take care to learn the
prerequisites. The tough area will dissolve

automatically. If you cannot find the prerequisites
yourself consult your teacher or an expert of your
subject.
Tip 39
Never bypass lessons or chapters. Habit of bypassing
lessons and moving on can be very costly as future
lessons may appear very tough. And then you may
not have time to come back and read the bypassed
lessons. And finding which bypassed topic exactly
you need to read and learn may be even more
difficult.
Tip 40
Everybody is not alike. There are people who learn
better visually and at the same time there are people
who learn better through auditory path or tactile path.
These are known as modalities. The main modalitiesare Visual, Auditory and Tactile.
Here I discuss how knowing your modality can help
you to learn new things.

Brought to you by Tapan Sarkar page26
If you are made aware about your strongest modality,
you will be able to organize your study efforts around
your strongest modality. And if you do that your
return will be sizeable.Here is a simple test to find out your modality. If now
I ask you to remember what you did yesterday
morning at around 7 Oclock. You start remembering
various things. Just observe how many visual pictures
cross your mind. How many sound you can hear. And
how many tactile experience your memory consists
of. If visual images outweigh other two then you are
a visual person and will learn things better using
visual stimuli. If your memory is formed mostly with
sounds then your auditory modality is strong and you
can expect better result if you utilize your strong
auditory capability. And so on.
If your auditory modality is strong then you will getbenefit from recording and listening to your lesson.
You will also get good result from discussing your
subject with your teacher and fellow students.
If you are of visual type then getting a video course
(if available) on your subject in addition to reading
your text book will give good return.
And if your tactile modality outweighs other two youwill do better where there is ample scope of doing
things hands-on.

Tip 41
Never hesitate to ask for help. Ask for help from your
teachers, fellow students. You can get a newunderstanding of the topic at hand from your
discussion with others.
Tip 42
Be fully involved and enjoy the process of learning.
You should have clear reason for learning. That
reason should be something you desire and not
something your parents, neighbors or your spouse
want.
Tip 43
Give full attention to the diagrams, figures of the
book. Do not ignore them. Many people do this
costly mistake and end up with wrong or ill formedidea of the subject matter.
At times ignoring an attached diagram can make a
topic impossible to understand. Beware of this
common mistake.

Tip 44
Whenever possible create your own diagram,
flowchart, Venn diagram, pie chart in your scratchpad or note book.
This will make your learning process very easy and
make you more involved in the process of learning.
Tip 45
Be interested in the subject matter. To generate
interest do following things.
Approach the subject from various angles not through
the text book only. Read other related books, journals
etc. Become a member of a society of professionalsrelating to your subject. Attend meetings, seminars
on your topic of interest.
Tip 46
Maintain the practice of learning new things. Do not
stop learning after your college days are over.
Learning new things regularly will keep your mind
sharp.

Tip 47
Surround yourself with people who are more
successful, more efficient than you. Spend less timewith people with lesser abilities than you. It may
require great effort on your part but let me tell you
the returns will be even greater.
Tip 48
While trying to master a new subject you may face
overwhelm at the thought of vastness of the subject.
This overwhelm stops many from setting highly
achievable goals and working towards it.
This specially happens to the people who have leftcollege for 4 5 years or more. The following
strategy will certainly help you big way,
Just stay with the subject, do not think of its vastness.
With time passing familiarity will grow and you will
master it at the end. Do not forget the magic mantra
Thinking a task to be easy makes it easy.
