Time for a helpful Tip!

Hello Readers!
Finals are no longer around the corner, they are here! So here is a tip that might help with some studying techniques. Enjoy :)

Study in areas where you will be alert. Study at time when you will retain the most information. Do not study at times when you are really tired, study only when you are alert and have TONS of enery. Do not study for too much time in one sitting; study for an hour or two then take a short break to give your brain some time to relax. If you find yourself getting tired, eat a snack to wake you up a little, go for a short walk, something that will allow you to relax and get the blood flowing a little more. Study difficult subjects first then move on to the easier and more interesting subjects. And last but not least, DO NOT procrastinate!! Give yourself some more time to retain all the information.

Good Luck on all of your finals Hatters!! :)
