The answer to all your procrastination problems 🤝🏼 - THE TRAFFIC LIGHT METHOD 🚦 1️⃣ Print out a copy of your syllabus/learning guide .
2️⃣ Go through each dot point & colour code them based on your understanding: 🔴 Red - what you have NO idea about 🟠 Orange - what you are OK with, but need more work on 🟢 Green - what you know WELL, and don’t need to revise further . 3️⃣ Focus on the Red topics first, then the Orange topics, until you can make them ALL green!! This method helps you prioritise what you need to study most, helping you get marks in the areas you would have otherwise lost them instead of going through things chronologically and wasting time revising concepts you know well & don’t really need to cover again. - #examready #examseason #exams #finalsweek #studytips #studyhacks

Minimal effort for MAXIMUM results 🧠✅💯🏆 - MINI-MUSTS (shoutout to @Manoj for teaching me this) 📆 Commit to a doing a small task (5-10mins max) that will get you better grades, and do this consistently EVERY DAY. Say for example, your goal is to get Straight As in Math, then your “mini-must” might be to do 5 practice questions every day. This doesn’t seem like much, but if you do 5 questions every day for a year leading up to your exam, that becomes over a THOUSAND practice questions! 👏🏽 This is super effective because we know consistency is king. For studying, this also introduces spaced repetition because you’re revisiting the same subject over and over. It’s perfect for students who want to achieve good grades but can’t bring themselves to do long, tedious study sessions 💻🎒 - #studytips #studyhacks #studentproblems #studywithme #studymotivation

The fact that nobody knows about this is CRAZY 🤯✅💯👩🏼‍🎓 - The Zeigarnik Effect (for studying) 🧠 What is it? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Research shows that you have a tendency to remember incomplete tasks better than completed ones. This is called the Zeigarnik effect. . How can it help me study? 🤔 Essentially through procrastinating, but STRATEGIC procrastinating!! The Zeigarnik effect can be used to help you learn faster/better if you strategically interrupt your study sessions, to create an “unfinished” state in which the material is fresh in your mind. This ultimately leads to better recall because you spend more time on your content (while getting other stuff done), and potentially even better understanding because when you’re not actively thinking of the problem, your brain might be able to process it differently. . How can I apply it to my study routine?? ✍🏼 1️⃣ Dedicated, Unfocused Breaks - plan short, strategic breaks throughout your study sessions to do something unrelated to the material (eg chores, physical activity) 
 2️⃣ Subject Switching - alternate between different subjects or topics 3️⃣ Read then Write - read the question and answer it in your head, before doing something else (eg answer an email or text), then come back and write the answer down

Cut your study time in half and ace ALL your exams with these hacks ✅📚🏆🧠 - The techniques: 1️⃣ Interleaving - instead of revising for one subject for an entire study session, switch between multple non-related subjects. For example, instead of 3 hours of Math, try 1 hour of Math, 1 hour of English, and 1 hour of Chemistry. Stick to the allocated time for each subject. You may need to prioritise & give more time to your weaker subjects, but always try to have a mix. This improves retention of information & exam performance (without need to study any longer) and makes your sessions less tedious 📚 . 2️⃣ Time Blocking - plan out exactly what you’re going to do for that subject and WHEN. By assigning a limited amount of time to each task, you’ll give yourself a sense of urgency, helping you complete the task faster. It will also help you prioritise, and avoid decision fatigue For example: 5-6:30am Gym 7-8am Get ready & have breakfast 8-9am Collect quotes for English Exam 9-11:30am Math Practice Exam 11:30-12pm Mark Practice Exam etc 📝 . 3️⃣ Application - do practice questions (textbook, past year exams, online resources) to apply the content. This is the most EFFICIENT way to prepare for exams because it will help you memorise content, help you learn to apply content (often what is tested on exams), and help you streamline your revision by testing you on what is high-yield/most likely to come up on the exam 🧠 - #gsce2025 #GSCE #finalseason #examseason #examtips
