In addition to applying recommendations for study techniques<\/strong> to improve your grades, it is also important to work on self-awareness. Exams are a moment to test much more than knowledge of the syllabus presented by students. Implicitly, they are an assessment of students\u2019 skills in moments of pressure, which must be trained.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is important that we are able to detect our emotions in order to recognize and manage them. This is a skill that will help you throughout your life, both personally and professionally.<\/p>\n

Since exams assess knowledge of a specific topic that has been previously studied, the more you know about that subject, the better results you will obtain in the test. That is why prior preparation is essential, because the better prepared you are, the more knowledge and confidence you will have, and thus you will feel more comfortable when it comes time to take the exam.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Unihabit<\/a>, we have spent years sharing the nerves and exam preparations with our community of residents, and for this reason, we want to share some tips or tricks to make it more manageable with you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

Recommendations: the 2 most effective study techniques<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>

The exam begins long before the day of the test. That is why you should be familiar with recommendations for study techniques that will allow you to memorize the content and prepare in an optimal way for taking the exams. Although there are various alternatives to implement, there are two techniques that stand out for their effectiveness: the Pomodoro<\/strong> Technique<\/strong> and the Cornell<\/strong> Method<\/strong>. Among the student community of UNIHABIT residences<\/a>, these are the most widely used and the most effective.<\/p>\n

The Pomodoro Method was created in the late 1980s. This practice consists of carrying out study cycles of 25 minutes, followed by 5 minutes of rest. Once four cycles have been completed, the break should be between 15 and 30 minutes<\/strong>. This can be repeated as many times as the student requires, since after the long break, the Pomodoro method can be started again.<\/p>\n

The Cornell Method was created at Cornell University in 1950 by Walter Pauk, a doctor in psychology and education. It is a note-taking system that helps organize large amounts of information that are related to each other.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

In this way, much more efficient and productive study sessions are promoted. The Cornell Method<\/a> aims to summarize and retain an author\u2019s ideas through an organized note-taking system. The process consists of dividing the page into four distinct areas to facilitate the interpretation of information. These areas are as follows:<\/p>\n
