2. Ask your teachers for help: Students must ask their doubts from their teachers as and
when they face any difficulty in any subject. If you don’t ask questions regarding
topics, then you would not be able to understand properly and your chances of getting
good marks in test are risked.
3. Don’t be dependent on others: Students should always do their homework themselves.
In case, they find any difficulty in any subject, then they can seek help from others. But,
they should never ask their parents, siblings or their friends to do their assignments or
work. Also, they must never copy their homework or assignments from their classmates.
4. Do your homework on time: Not doing homework is a common issue with the
students. They do not take their homework seriously, but rather as an obligation /
burden on themselves. Homework not only helps you in learning better, but you also
get marks for them as well as perform well in tests.
5. Effective seading and learning: Generally, students while reading lessons do not pay
attention to the information and facts properly and just hastily complete it. This way,
they do not get any strong learning.
6. Don’t mug up for tests: Most students have a habit of mugging up to pare for the
exam. This way, students think they are learning better and will score better in exams,
but what students do not realise in that by mugging up information they are not
learning anything. If you understand and learn, then you can write answers even if the
questions are modified in exams as you have an understanding of the concept.
7. Make schedule and don’t delay: You should always do your tasks on time and never
postpone your work for afterwards. Prepare a timetable for every subject and follow
this schedule and also include recreational activities in your daily routine to keep your
mind refreshed for better learning.
8. Keep your study desk organised: Students should make a separate room for studies or
a peaceful space in their home so that they can study without distractions. Also, keep
your study area decluttered by removing unnecessary things. Arrange your books and
stationery in order as per your requirement so that you don’t have to leave your desk
or room to get them while you are studying.
Students need not strain themeselves to study hard for good marks, but few adjustments
like doing homework, plan and time management, organising skills, effective learning and
raising doubts to their teachers can help them study better and hence, score well in exams.
