Who loves to study? Do you think anyone loves it?
Wait... I am! Have I ever mentioned that there is one guy who's a damn nerd?

Yes, that's me. *hands in the air

I have my own style of study and you have yours. But I think we will always have this one common style where most of us love studying at the very last minute.
Don't lie to me, I know you always did that. So the question is, last-minute studying, is it helpful or not?
I would say YES. (at least for me)
BUT WHY?
I'm not advising you to always do that because there are some pros and cons that I have observed on myself throughout these years. I can not deny that some of the subjects have too many chapters to be read and memorized and some of them have even more than 150 slides.
First, studying the last minute is really effective. Hell yeah, I always did that especially when I have 2 subsequent tests. One subject is reading and the next one is a calculation subject. Obviously, I focused on the reading subject and neglected the other one.
For me studying last minutes is like a boosting memory that will legit stick on your mind and you just need to pour it out on the test paper. But it will remain there just for some hours then it will disappear from your head. It's more likely to give you a short term memory.
But I need to mention that, when you study for that subject, you must put all your attention on it. Pass all interruption including Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook. It requires 100% focus to at least help you memories things in a short period.
One tip, if you are already late, pick only important concepts instead of all. At this moment, you must ask friends for suggestions to study. They may know more about it.
Lastly, is it still a good idea to study at the last minute?
Tepuk dada, tanya selera. Byeee.

Kalau mate susah study last minit
ReplyDeletetakpe2 ada banyak lagi cara inshaAllah yang penting usaha
DeleteI don't always study last minute especially for finals when all the exams are packed dangerously close together. BUT studying last minute in a way like you said, to revise the really important facts you need for exams work wonders! It sticks a lot better than the revision we did a week or two ago. But you need strong focus powers to make this technique work.
ReplyDeleteYes true. It is very risky to study last minute but it's doable if only we can 100% concentrate on that matters. Socmed distraction will be our first enemy hahaha
Deletesetiap awal sem punya azam nak taknak study last minute, end up last minute jugak setiap sem.. pernah jadi malam sebelum exam baru start bukak buku haha.. it's right that for certain subject is doable to study last minute and more effective in last minute rather than study awal-awal haha
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHA I think that's everyone goal every sem.
