Target Your Weakest Areas00:00:27
Focus on the subjects, chapters, or topics you struggle with the most. Use flashcards for quick and easy revision, as they are more efficient than rewriting lengthy notes.
Maximize Available Time00:01:17
Wake up earlier to gain extra study time. For example, if you normally wake up at 7 AM, try waking up at 6 AM. Avoid staying up late as it can hinder memory and lead to less effective studying. Utilize any available time, such as arriving at a study location earlier.

Prioritize Sleep and Limit Caffeine00:05:31
