10 Mistakes When Studying
1. âI Donât Know where to Begin.â
Make a list of all the things you have to do. Break your workload down ito manageable chunks. Prioritize. Schedule your time realistically. Begin studying early, with an hour or two per day, and slowly build as the exam approaches.
2. âIâve Got So Much to StudyâŠAnd so Little Time"
Preview. Survey your syllabus, reading material, and notes. Identify the most important topics emphasized, and areas still not understood. Previewing saves time, by helping you organize and focus in on the main topics.
3. âThis Stuff is so Dry, I canât Even Stay Awake Reading Itâ
Get actively involved with the text as you read. Ask yourself, âWhat is important to remember about this section?â Take notes or underline key concepts. Discuss the material with others in your class. Stay on the offensive.
4. âI Read It. I Understand It. But I Just Canât Get it To Sink Inâ
Elaborate. We remember best the things that are most meaningful to us. As you are reading, try to elaborate upon new information with your own examples. Try to integrate what youâre studying with what you already know. You will be able to remember new material better if you can link it to something thatâs already meaningful to you.
Chunking: Example: to remember the colors in the visible spectrum, Rog G.Biv â> reduce the information the three âchunksâ.
Mnemonics: Associate new information with something familiar.
5. âI Guess I Understand Itâ
Test yourself. Make up questions about key sections in notes or reading. Examine the relationships between concepts and sections. Often, imply by changing section headings you can generate many effective questions.
6. âThereâs Too Much to Rememberâ
Organize. Information is recalled better if it is represented in an organized framework that will make retrieval more systematic.
Write chapter outlines of summaries; emphasize relationships between sections.
Group information into categories or hierarchies, where possible.
Information Mapping. Draw up a matrix to organize and interrelate material.
7. âI Knew It A Minute Agoâ
Review. After reading a section, try to recall the information contained in it. Try answering the questions you made up for that section. If you cannot recall enough, re-read portions you had trouble remembering. The more time you spend studying, the more you tend to recall. Even after the point where information can be perfectly recalled, further study makes the material less likely to be forgotten entirely. How you organize and integrate new information is still more important than how much time you spend studying.

Itâs still in progress but itâs getting there, hereâs my first resource page :)
oh my god I think Iâm actually in love with you! Thank you so much! Itâs so hard to find danish resources haha :)
Aww haha no problem love :D another good resource is yours truly, if you ever wanna practice with me hit me up! :)
Thereâs some resources in my Danish resource tag that you might want to add to the list! This is a great idea btw, itâll be great to have so many resources all in one place. :)
Awesome! Iâll take a look later tonight :)
my self care pages! theyre a little messy and unplanned but thats life!! activities to help soothe sore spirits:
light candles
sit out in the sun
stim
pull a blanket or big scarf tight around your shoulders for deep, soothing pressure
stretch! stretch yourself as big as possible and then curl yourself as tiny as possible. breathe
make a list of the things that bring you the most comfort. put them all together in a big box.
write down everything you need to get done. plan out the coming week. vaguely. in detail. whatever you need
sit in a coffee shop and people watch! make up stories for them. who are they? what do they do? where do they come from?
make a big, hot, sweet cup of tea
or hot chocolate with marshmallows and cream
change into some fresh clean clothes - or alternatively: some cozy pyjamas
take a walk for some fresh air. take pictures of anything that catches your eye
write out everything on your mind into a journal or on a piece of paper. scribble out all the words after.
bake something sweet. something not. make up some dough for bread and beat the air out of it. release all your pent up anger, sorrow, frustration. angry kneading = good bread also, my (personal) morning self care checklist:
water first, then coffee or tea
light lovely candle(s)
go through routine with softs (blanket over knees, bunny to hand, soft hoodie)
plan outfit night before, get dressed last.
eat something, anything (even if its tiny)
This mornings breakfast, planning and peppermint tea âïž
If youâre serious about change, you have to go thru uncomfortable situations & stop trying to dodge the process. Itâs the only way to grow.
I admire disciplined people so much. I admire people who can do what they need to do with a focused mind and unwavering commitment, not letting themselves get distracted and refusing to make excuses for themselves. I admire the kind of people whose eyes are on the prize, even if itâs far away, and who are determined, diligent and adaptive. I look up to the kind of people who refuse to succumb to any obstacle or challenge and transcend above the millions of things that stood against them and their goals. I admire those kind of people so much and I aspire to be like that so much more.
Iâm reaching the point in life where all I want is a large castle out in the countryside, full of books.
I actually live in a large castle in the countryside full of books now :)
Words to replace said, except this actually helps
I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they werenât sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.

Some helpful study/revision tips x
HOW TO WRITE A STRONG ESSAY
I recently got an ask about how to write an introductory paragraph for an essay so I thought Iâd do a post about how to write a good essay.
** Important Points ** For essays in high school, use third person unless the teacher specifically tells you not too. Itâs more academic and professional while first person sounds really informal. Iâve heard that in college itâs different but again, it depends on the class. Stay on the safe side and use third person unless otherwise specified. Also, try to be as sophisticated and mature as you can. This makes the essay sound smarter and makes it easier to read.
1) INTRODUCTION
Try to think of an upside down pyramid here. You start off broad and end off tapered to a point (specific). The formula for writing a good intro is this: hook, background info, introduce topic of discussion, and thesis. In the pyramid example, the hook is the broad and the thesis is the narrow. The intro is usually around 8 sentences long.
Hook: Unlike what youâve probably been told through out high school, the hook is not necessarily a wow statement. Itâs typically a broad idea that relates to the topic of discussion. I usually use historical facts or common wisdom and go from there. I then follow it up with a sentence that elaborates on my hook and a sentence that connects my hook with the background info.
Background Info: Here you give the reader some context as to what you will be discussing in your essay. It sets the scene for the topic youâre discussing. Try to be concise.
Introduce the Topic of Discussion: Here you give a brief summary of the points youâre arguing/discussing. It should be one sentence per body paragraph and again, be clear and concise and avoid merely summarizing the plot. This part should cover the gist of your ideas.
Thesis: This should be a longer complex sentence that summarizes your point of view and ideas. This is one of the most important parts of the essay so crafting a good thesis is crucial.
I did a more detailed post about the introduction with an example introduction paragraph HERE.
2) BODY PARAGRAPHS
The meat of your essay. Here is where you state your arguments and defend them with supporting evidence from literature, articles, or even your personal experience. I would generally limit one argument per body paragraph. Which reminds me, most likely you have been taught the canned five paragraph essay. Some people write all their essays in five paragraph format because they thing that is the only way to go. Really, you can do four+ body paragraphs with the common numbers being four and six. It depends on the essay. When writing your body paragraph you need this structure: topic sentence, three points, three examples of supporting evidence, conclusion. Body paragraphs typically fall between 8 -15 sentences.
Topic Sentence: This is similar to a thesis. Here youâre stating the argument that you are proving in a clear and concise sentence.
Three Points: Thereâs a rule of thumb that you generally want to have three points about each argument and have a piece of supporting evidence for each point. Iâm going to start with the three points first. Basically, you want three ideas about your argument that show why itâs valid. For example if youâre trying to argue that cheese is dairy, your three points are itâs made of milk, itâs featured in the dairy section of the grocery store, and the FDA labels it as dairy.
Three Examples of Supporting Evidence: These are usually quotes from other sources or the piece of literature youâre analyzing that support the three points of your argument. To use the really bad cheese example from above, for the milk point youâd use an ingredients label from a package of cheese, for the grocery store point youâd get a sheet with the department labels and the produce in those departments, and for the FDA point youâd find a quote from their website.
Conclusion: This is a sentence or two that wraps up your body paragraph. It should briefly summarize the points you discussed or the topic sentence and help transition into the next paragraph.
2) a. COUNTER ARGUMENT PARAGRAPHSÂ
This paragraph is NOT necessary for most essays. However, some do require them so itâs important to know how to approach them. Depending on whom you ask, theyâll either tell you that the counter argument paragraph goes in the middle of your body paragraphs, or at the end. Personally I prefer the end but the middle is more correct. Placing it in the middle allows you to end on a strong note but I think itâs a matter of personal preference. The counter argument is used to present an opposing view point and say why itâs wrong. This can strengthen your argument if itâs done properly but ruin it if itâs done wrong so tread carefully. The only thing different from the body paragraph structure is the topic sentence.
Topic Sentence: Here you need a specific template to start the paragraph properly. I usually use: It may be argued that _______________ but there is sufficient evidence to show that _______________. The first blank is filled with the opposing argument and the last blank is your argument. There are different ways to structure this sentence but this is the one I use.
The rest of the paragraph is the same as the body paragraph: you get three points as to why the counter argument is wrong and three points to support it. Then you end with a typical concluding sentence.
3) CONCLUSION
This is where you wrap up your arguments and finish strong. It has three components: a restatement of your thesis, summary of your arguments, and general statement to wrap it up. Think of the right side up pyramid this time. The pointy end is the thesis and the bottom is the general statement that closes your essay. A conclusion is typically 5 sentences long.
Restatement of Thesis: This is pretty self explanatory; you restate the thesis using different language than you used in your intro.
Summary of Arguments: Here you briefly touch upon the arguments you covered in your essay. Again, clear and concise, and whatever you do, DO NOT introduce new information. It can ruin the amazing essay you worked so hard on.
General Statement: A general statement is a broad idea that you use to tie your entire essay together. Itâs kind of like the hook but should be more relevant to your essay.
And that is how you write a killer essay. I use this technique whenever I write and it has never failed me. Hopefully if will help you improve your writing! If you have any questions, feel free to hit up my ask box.
