Gute Gewohnheiten erfolgreicher Schüler

1. Create a Study Plan

• This seems like a complete no-brainer but top students never fail to
• properly plan their future success. If you are feeling over-whelmed with
• the amount of work you have on your plate, a clear and balanced study
• plan will boost your motivation when you tick a task as complete and
• reduce stress by focusing on one piece of the puzzle at a time.
• GoConqr’s Online Calendar will help you create, manage and
• track tasks related to your study. The online calendar allows you to
• create events related to your academic life and associate them with your
• GoConqr subjects.

2. Take Study Breaks

• Does this study tip surprise you? Many students think they can cram a
• lot of information into their heads by sitting down and learning
• straight for a few hours. However, your ability to learn reduces the
• more time you spend staring at your books.
• Use that break time wisely
• and take a walk to boost your brain activity further, here’s the proof:

4. Get Enough Sleep 5. Ask Questions

• Exhaustion is the enemy of the elite. Here’s why sleep is important;
• when you properly rest, your brain strengthens the knowledge you have
• learned during the day by assimilating information so the better you
• sleep, the better you learn.
• The relationship between sleeping and
• learning is often disregarded by busy students but those at the top know
• the importance of this essential element of the learning process.
• Instead of passively sitting in lectures absorbing what’s going on, have
• you noticed what the top performing students are doing? They are
• engaging in the learning experience by asking questions, striking up a
• conversation with the lecturer and getting involved in their learning.
• Of course, you don’t want to be the one to put your hand up but it
• doesn’t mean you should not question what you are studying.
• Always ask
• why, it’s a big question for a small word!

6. Test yourself Regularly

• Cramming doesn’t even enter the mind of a top student.
• Reviewing
• material in regular bursts ensures that information is stored in the
• memory over the long-term, extending the learning experience beyond the
• test.
• Many top students use the spaced-repetition concept
• to optimise learning by systematically reviewing notes to embed
• knowledge in the brain.
• Flashcards can be used to integrate this technique into the study
• routine as you can quickly review theory and only include material you
• don’t know to save time.
• Creating practice quizzes is another way to
• regularly engage your mind.
• 

7. Learn based on Mistakes

• If you want to build good habits into your study routine, you should
• start at where you are right now. Take a look back at your recent marks
• and review where and why you missed the correct answer.
• Whether it’s a
• question they answered incorrectly in class or a grade from a pop quiz,
• top students always analyse their mistakes to build on their learning.
• 

8. Practice Under Test Conditions

• The number one way high-achievers ensure they reach their target grades
• is by preparing for tests in the way that they will sit the real thing.
• This means a certain amount of dedication will need to be demonstrated
• by setting a timer, putting your books away and answering questions to
• put your brain to work.
• Online quizzes are an ideal way to easily create
• exam-like conditions and put your knowledge to the test.

9. Apply Learning to Real-life

• Top students recognise that acquiring skills is critical for the
• challenges faced in life. Learning is not about studying for a test and
• getting good grades, it’s about understanding knowledge and what you can
• do with that knowledge.
• During the deeper learning process, students
• take ownership of their learning by applying core academic skills to
• real-life situations.
• 

10. Follow What you Love

• Those students you admire are passionate about what they are
• learning. They have the drive to develop their learning further based on
• their love of what they are discovering. This may not always be the
• case and is often unavoidable but if you follow what interests you and
• cultivate a curiosity of this area, your motivation to learn will
• thrive.
• Not every student is the same and many top students don’t follow the
• status quo. The best way to create good habits for students is to try a
• variety of techniques and figure out what works for you.
