    Try and figure out what sort of learner you are; visual, audial or kinetic. This will help you find exacts techniques that will suite your learning style best.
    For me there were a few fundamental processes that I used to achieve the best that I could:

    1. Try and write your notes as much as possible. The more you go over that information the better. If you take a class which has large amounts of notes etc. start to break them down into smaller sections and pick out the key parts from each section then re-write this out. It may use up a lot fo paper but the more times the information is shifted through your brain the easier it is to remember. I used to take notes in class, go home and re-write, then a few weeks later create a good copy typed version, then to study I would use the typed version to revise and read over.

    2. Eliminate all distractions. Just unplug everything and hide your phone. Trust me, it helps so much.

    3. Use different methods to recall information. This will just make it more interesting to study. For example, use a minds map to recall different functions of a cell, then do practise questions for your maths study, and maybe trying flashcards for anatomy.

    4. Try and plan as early as possible so you can start study earlier. This way you won't be procrastinating for as long.

    5. Always ask for help. If there is ever a concept that you don't understand I'm sure your teacher will more than happy to help. If not, you can try looking online or asking a friend. It will help you iron out any issues well in advance and eliminate stress from not understanding something.

    There are quite a few more but I think these are the main, most useful ones.

    1. Focus. Do not have music on in the background, turn off the TV, close all tabs not related to the subject you're studying. Put your phone away. I find that sitting alone in my room with the door shut works the best.

    2. Get in the mindset of wanting to study. Trust me, it really works better if you want to do it. Have a good attitude about it!

    3. Get online and research! If you don't understand something, get on YouTube and watch videos about it! Watch them all! Keep at it until you understand it so well you could explain it to your friends.

    4. And most importantly, get enough sleep each night. It does no good to be sitting at your desk and falling asleep while in front of your book.

    There's a lot more but those are the ones that stand out to me the most. :)

    Goodness, there's so many tips! I'll just give you a few ;) Lol.

    1) Try to get into a quiet enviorment, this will definitely help you concentrate
    2) Take your time on your work and DON"T RUSH! Truley absorb the information that the work is giving you.
    3) Try saying the problems (Or what ever you are working on) outloud to yourself. You will see that this helps you think deeper and come with an answer more quickly. It really works!

    These are just general and can be esaily morphed into any specific study style that works for you, personally I'm an audial learner.

    1.) Set up an area (preferably a whole room but if not, a desk or cubical, a blanket fort that you've make, a specific corner of your room, etc) that is specifically for studying. Trust me, you'll get shit done in that area.

    2.) Study for 15 minutes, veg out for 10 minutes, and then study another 15 starting with a quick review over the last 15 minutes: repeat this cycle. You'll reward yourself and the veg time allows for things to sink into your brain.

    3.) DO NOT USE FOOD AS A REWARD. IT DOESN'T HELP.

    4.) Chew gum during the session, preferably something minty or cinnamon but anything will do you better than nothing. Or, as a replacement for gum, drink a hot coffee or tea.

    Each student has his own characteristics. This is why the advice we receive doesn't always work as well as it's supposed to. I always try to do written assignments myself. But I realized that sometimes it’s worth reconsidering your principles and making my life easier. If I understand that one of my tasks is difficult for me, then I go to a professional service for help - https://www.affordablepapers.com/ Pay attention to their price. These guys take on all types of academic assignments.

    these are my writing Tips:
    a. Start with a captivating introduction that hooks the reader and introduces your research topic.
    b. Organize your proposal into clear sections with headings, making it easy to follow.
    c. Be clear and straightforward in your language, avoiding unnecessary jargon.
    d. Justify your research design choices, explaining why they are suitable for your study.
    e. Address potential limitations and how you plan to overcome them.
    f. Seek feedback from peers or mentors to improve the quality of your proposal.
    g. Edit and revise your proposal carefully for clarity and coherence.

    From my experience I can say that writing an essay can be time-consuming, especially for complex topics or assignments with tight deadlines. Using an essay writing service allows students to save time and focus on other important tasks or studies. I found service to write my essay EssayHave online at high level. It is useful if someone need paper writing help. Their experts are pro in writing and proofreading.
