Still, most students rely too much on traditional Engineering books. It is okay to study from them. But at the same time, students should also try to learn from online resources.
An excellent place to get started is- YouTube. It has loads of videos showing step by step tutorials related to study material. Why I’m pointing out YouTube in particular, you might ask. It is because it is easy to understand and learn things that come in video format!
2. Teach others, learn even more!
I used to do this thing a lot! And believe me, it really helped me prepare well for my examinations!
I made it a point to teach my roommates, who were weaker in studies. They depended on me to an extent. So, to make sure that I taught them well, I would go on and prepare lessons thoroughly, ready to face questions that they could possibly ask me!
The ‘teaching friends’ part put pressure on me. But it was a kind of ‘positive pressure’. It pushed me to prepare harder.
Also, by teaching them, I used to get more and more revision. Because, teaching others was like going through the stuff I had learned again and again- revision that is!
Before using this method, please make sure that you will be just to your friends. Don’t just go through this process for the sake of your own benefit. Your friends are dependent on you and you must ensure that you teach them well!
3. Know ‘sweet sections’ of the syllabus
This is the killer tactic that will help you score more marks in exams with less effort! Sweet section means portions of a subject that carry more marks. One may find such sweet sections referring previous years’ question papers.
Analyze each subject using this way and arrive upon the sweet sections. Make sure that you prepare them well at any cost. Prepare them in such a way that you’ll be able to solve those problems/answer those questions even after waking up from deep sleep!
Usually, most papers have a collection of questions that are usually derived from these ‘sweet sections’. So, preparing them well will help you get like 40% marks right away.
