Adolescent part 6

I studied hard but not getting result

--------------------------------------------------------

The first thing any teen that is performing poorly in spite of hard work needs to know is that they are doing something wrong.  It is a common problem associated with a lot of children particularly if you are preparing for competitive exams. Usually, it does not happen with theory based exams.

Studying effectively is the key to competitive exams. And if you're studying hard but still getting bad results, it's probably that part you're missing. Hard work is excellent but smart hard work is far better and produces greater results.

 In short... Quality is never an accident, it is always the result of Intelligence work.

First find out the reason and it's solution.....

🔴 Wrong goal

      -------------------

You are good at music or English, and wish to be a chartered accountant.... Probably you're in a wrong Field

❇️ Solution: Choose a career or set a goal ....

🔹 Passionate about it

🔹 Know your strong or weak subject and then decide

❇️ Avoid: Always follow your own dream, don't follow...

🔹 Parents wish or family business

🔹 Everyone is doing

🔹 This career guarantees money

 In short... If you want to be successful, set a goal that commands your thought, liberates your energy and inspires your hope.

🔴 Missing study plan

     ---------------------------------

 If you fail to plan, you're planning to fail... Yes, if you don't have a plan to guide your study session, making it hard to know what you should focus on while you're studying.

❇️ Solution :

🔹 Make short term weekly plan

🔹 From above plan, make daily plan as per your need by adding new assignment given today.

 In short... A good intention with bad approach often lead to poor result

🔴 Started late

      --------------------

You procrastinate studying, not leaving yourself enough time to absorb the material

❇️ Solution : 

🔹 Always start with academic session and maintain same speed as your teaching institute

🔹 If your goal is clear say You had decided to be Engineer in class 8th, you can always focus more on Math, Physics & Chemistry compare to other subject.

 In short ... Still better be late than never

🔴 Not studying to understand

      -------------------------------------------

When you study, you only memorize the material rather than understanding the concept.

❇️ Solution : It's important to not just memorize the material, you need to understand it. Think about how the topics you're reviewing are connected to other topics. This will give a deeper understanding of the whole syllabus. 

 In short...No one can achieve the right things in life through the wrong approach.

🔴 Wrong learning method

      ---------------------------------------------

 You are using study methods that doesn't match with the way you learn

❇️ Solution: Read the following method and choose one or two methods according to your choice....

🔹SQR technique

🔹 Review information periodically

🔹 Active recall technique

🔹 Imagination

🔹 Audio visual technique

🔹 Group study

🔹 Associate learning

🔹 Read a fast

🔹 Use mnemonics

🔹 Use diagram

🔹 Use flow chart

🔹 Summarize it

For details, read my blog on How to study? On Facebook... Positive Parenting or watch videos on YouTube... Dr Ashish Agrawal

 In short...It is better to change the technique than to persist in a wrong method

🔴 Trying too much

      ----------------------------

 You study for hours at a time with no break. But spending more time studying doesn't always mean you understand the material any better.

❇️ Solution:

🔹 Study infect anything depends upon time spent × focus.

Read my block Principle of study on Facebook.... Positive Parenting or watch videos on YouTube... Dr Ashish Agrawal

🔹 Instead of studying in a large time block....

# Study for maximum 3 hours at a stretch with minimum 30 to 45 minutes break

# In a 3 hour stretch, study for 40 to 50 minutes with 20 to 10-minute break, then the 2nd round and final round with a long break.

# During a long break, you can finish major routine work like eating or bathing or watch comedy series.

 In short...It's not about how much you studied, it's about how you studied.

🔴 Studying wrong things

       -----------------------------------------------

Your study goes fine but you find different questions compare to your study material

❇️ Solution: 

🔹 Know your exam material properly

🔹 Follow guidelines of your institute rather than using your own brain

🔹 Pay close attention to your class & teachers and follow them

 In short... If you focus on wrong things, you miss the right things

🔴 Perfectionism

     -------------------------

Some students try to make each topic perfect thus missing a few important topics taught late.

❇️ Solution : Try to match up the speed of the institute rather than making one topic perfect.

 In short...Strive for continuous improvement instead of perfection.

🔴 Night session

     -------------------------

If you are studying in night, it is going to cause multiple health problems with poor concentration in teaching session

❇️ Solution: 

🔹 Make sure to have 5 to 8-hour sleep in night as our energy is restored.

🔹 Read blog on Recharge yourself or watch video

 In short... Wake up early and study rather than studying late at night, it helps more.

🔴 Poor revision technique

      -----------------------------------------------

If you does not revise your syllabus properly, it will affect your performance

❇️ Solution:

 In short...Result is not about working hard, it is about creating more impact with proper revision 

🔴 Poor presentation in a exam

      ----------------------------------------------

This aspect is important in theory based exams. Due to poor handwriting or presentation, such students fail to score good percentage

❇️ Solution: 

🔹 Write slowly if you had bad handwriting and go to handwriting class to improve it

🔹 Write point wise even it is short will definitely score more marks 

 In short... Never underestimate the power of poor presentation

🔴 Exam anxiety

      ----------------------

If you feel so nervous that your mind goes blank when you sit down for a test, you could be struggling with test anxiety.

❇️ Solution : Read my blog on Exam anxiety or watch videos on it.
