Looks like the pandemic is fizzling out and we are back to normal. This means that schools and colleges will be continuing offline. This announcement comes with a lot of mixed feelings. On one hand, children are happy to finally get out of the house and on the other hand, comes a lot of anxiety about exams and studying.
Students have lost touch with their studies. Even students with proper technological and financial support to continue online school have faced difficulties in studying in an online school.
There is a lack of connection in online mode, teachers and students don't have the same interactions they have in offline mode. It is very hard for students to concentrate on their studies with a million things to distract them at the house. Lack of peer support during these times has also affected children, with no one to share their problems with.
Students barely remember what "regular" school is like after over 24 months of homeschooling. Getting every child back to school in India is a monumental endeavor that necessitates thorough planning. New rules for social separation and extra attention will be implemented in schools in order to preserve a sanitary environment.
You would think that after facing so many difficulties in online mode students would be happy to continue offline now. But, most of the students are skeptical about starting school again. They have lost touch with their studies and it would be very difficult to catch up now. To add to the anxiety, many schools and colleges are conducting offline exams too.
So here are some tips to help you get back on track and ace your exams
Get rganized
After two years of online classes, you might not have a hold of your study material, syllabus, and other stationery. So, the first step is to ensure that you have all of the necessary study materials, stationery, and guides in one place. Staying organized gives you a boost of energy and puts you in the mood to study.
Start Small
It can be overwhelming to start a lot after you've done basically nothing for two years. So, to make sure you don't exhaust yourself, start small. If you have a large assignment due soon, such as a research paper, keep yourself motivated by completing a section of the project every few days. Each night, write one paragraph. Alternatively, work on 5 algebra problems at a time from your problem set and then take a rest.
It is never too late
Don't focus on the past. What's done is done. You need to focus on your future. It doesn't matter how much time you have wasted or how much course you have to cover up. What matters is that you are starting now. Don't focus on the topics you have left, start with what the school is doing now and you can cover up the rest later. Move one step at a time, and it will all become easy.
Make it interesting
Our attention span has been reduced to that of a goldfish. We find it difficult to concentrate on one page without getting distracted by our phones. How are we supposed to cover the whole syllabus? Make it interesting. Making flashcards, taking notes ahead of time, and discovering content course guides are all good ways to make studying more fun. The concept is swiftly grasped by your sensory glands, and you will remember it for a long time.
Make connections
After two years of binging content, studies might seem too boring and bland. It is easier to remember the character of every marvel character to ever exist than to learn those trigonometry formulas. So, all you need to do is make connections.
Make connections between what you're reading and what you're doing. Try to make connections between your daily life and your subject. Instead of memorizing facts, try to comprehend what they signify. It is always preferable to apply the information to your own life. You'll remember more when you're tested this way.
Allow yourself to take breaks
If you've been working hard for a long time, it's probably time to take a break. Take a walk, listen to music, have a healthy snack, or meditate. Allow yourself some time to recuperate before returning to your studies to improve your concentration.
Keep switching places
You get tired sitting in one place the whole day. You need to move around and have a change of space. A well-stocked desk in a peaceful area at home is essential, but variety is also necessary. Coffee shops, libraries, parks, or even simply going to the kitchen table will provide a change of scenery that will help your brain retain knowledge more effectively.
