What's Success
2.1.1 Have a goal in mind
It is always helpful to have a clear objective in mind, for the studies that a student is pursuing. These objectives can be different for students of different levels or categories. Some of these might be:
To have the basic education without which one cannot be recognized by the society as an educated person.
2.1.1 Have a goal in mind
To acquire a higher
learning in a subject of
special interest, such as
International Relations
or Applied Chemistry.
To enable one to take
up the profession of
one’s choice and liking.
To move higher in one’s
career.
2.1.2 Know the syllabus
Many students do not know exactly what
topics are included in the course.
In such a situation, they might be wasting
their time on what is not expected from
them.
it is, therefore, important that a student
should acquire a copy of the syllabus.

2.1.3 Acquire books and other
necessities
Besides the prescribed textbooks, often other related books are also recommended.
Acquire them wherever possible. Books too costly or not available in the market may be borrowed from friends or libraries.
Also, collect past years question papers.
Get a good dictionary and other necessary items like paper, pen, pencil and folders.
2.1.4 Ascertain important areas
Important portions of the course from which
questions might be expected to be asked in
the examination, are often indicated by the
teachers.
In addition, the student too can work out
himself such parts by studying thoroughly
the past years’ question papers.
The student should work harder on these
portions of the course.
2.2 Preferred environment and
modes of study
Methods of study largely depend on an individual’s nature and circumstances.
Methods of study also differ from subject to subject. The methods suitable for the study of Political Science, for example, are not likely to be the same as those for Information Technology.
2.2 Preferred environment and
modes of study
Yet there are certain
aspects which are
common and certain rules
that apply in most cases.
Some of these are detailed
here.
2.2.1 Place of study
One can always try to re-locate or re-arrange his or her place of study so as to bring it as close to the ideal one as possible.
It is better not to change your place of study every now and then.
Stick to one place.
A good place of study is a quiet private room, well-lit and properly furnished. Some of the essential requirements of the room are:
2.2.1 Place of study
Table and chair.
Bookshelves and a notice-board.
Lights.
Cooling and fresh air.
2.2.2 Preferred posture.
A person studies with
his mind. But what
should he do with his
body along all that?
A very comfortable
chair with thick
cushions might turn
create drowsiness.
2.3 Joint studies
Such an arrangement can prove to be fruitful only if the two partners happen to be of comparable intelligence and understanding of the subject as well as being equally serious in the pursuit of their studies.
2.4 Fighting distractions
During studies most of the significant distractions, except noise, are internal—created by one’s own mind. These include:
Indecision
Daydreams
Personal problems
Anxiety due to unrealistic goals
2.5 Preparing Plans and
Timetables
After acquiring information about the syllabus, key areas and the trends in question papers, the next step is to prepare a plan an a timetable for studies.
Usually, a plan covers a longer period of time and indicates only broadly the intended scheme of studies.
It will show what topics or subjects are to be taken up first, which areas are to be given more time and also that what proportion of time one would give to rest, recreation and sleep.

2.5.2 Timetables
On the other hand,
timetables cover a
shorter period, a week
or a day, and give
more exact details.
A daily timetable will
indicate the exact
timings and duration
of various activities.
2.5.2 Timetables
A weekly timetable consists of such schedules for every day of the week which may or may not be repeated over the following weeks.
The under mentioned points should be kept in mind while preparing timetables:
2.5.2 Timetables
Study hours : The best hours for study are in the morning when the mind is fresh and it is easy to concentrate. Find your best study hours under your own circumstances.
Periods of study: The periods of study may stretch from one to three hours.
Concentration and efficiency tend to dwindle after about an hour’s study.
2.5.2 Timetables
Give more daylight hours to study: It has been established by research one hour’s study during the day equals one and a half hour’s study at night.
Difficult parts: The most difficult part of the course should be studied during hours found best for studies. Find your prime time.
Revision: Each day’s study session should be started with a revision of the previous day’s work. This would re-enforce the previous day’s work and would also serve as a warm up process for this day’s session.
2.5.2 Timetables
Relaxation, exercise and sleep: The timetable must allocate sufficient time for sleep and adequate periods for relaxation and exercise.
Synchronize his period of relaxation and recreation with those of others in the family..
Good meals: Well-balanced meals should be taken at the proper time. Greasy or low protein food is not advisable. Deficiencies in the diet lead to weariness and lack of enthusiasm for work.

3.1.1 Examining a book-
This is called skimming. One just
glances through a book to find out its
scope and contents.
This kind of ‘reading’ is undertaken when
one has to examine if a particular book
would be useful for his studies or not.
3.1.2 Locating an important
point or topic
It involves going through the pages of a book rapidly to locate a certain point or topic which is now required to be consulted.
This is called scanning.
A student often needs to scan books and periodicals during his studies to re-locate a point which he might have already gone through earlier.
3.1.3 Serious reading
This is reading for a study. One goes through the pages of the book slowly and often repeatedly. The object is to understand and digest fully what has been said in those pages.
A hardworking student would usually write the passage himself in his own words to check if he has understood the text correctly and fully.
3.2 What is a good reading
speed ?
Although there are people who can read
much faster, a speed of 250-300 words
per minute is good enough.
Reading speed problem, if it exists, can
be over come by enlarging one’s
vocabulary and mastering the difficult
words that come across frequently
3.3 Concentration
Some of the techniques
that can help secure
concentration are
given below:
No room for other thoughts
Thinking about future
Every thing should be handy
Ignoring unavoidable noises
Understanding
Construct a word diagram or concept map.
The various steps for this process are as under:
The concerned passage should be read thoroughly and its meaning be understood as much as possible.
Find out the central idea and other points should be linked to this.
Understanding
The passage should be read again to find out other key ideas. These should be listed on a separate sheet of paper.
The key words should now be written on the paper carrying the most important or main idea, so as to show their relationship with each other and also with the main idea.
Understanding
Lines should be drawn among them and these lines should be labeled with words indicating the relationship.
The diagram should now be reviewed to find out if some other information is required to be added, or if some other arrangement would be better.
More passages can be summarized in this manner.
Methods of remembering
The text should be read several times so as to be understood fully.
If it is lengthy, break up in to convenient pieces.
When it is felt that the gist of the text can now be recalled easily, it should be written in one’s own words and compared with the original to check if it has been accurately reproduced.
Methods of remembering
A convenient method of remembering things is to associate them with a word or phrase which could be easily remembered.
VIBGYOR. Here V stands for violet, I for indigo, B blue, G for green, Y for yellow, O for orange and R for Red.
Listening
Listening is distinctly different from
hearing.
Listening is a conscious act.
One must be fully attentive to it.
So in a classroom, one is not just
hearing but listening to the teacher or the
lecturer
Notes Taking
Notes taking is a skill and
needs to be developed for
success in one’s studies.
Some techniques of taking
accurate and meaningful
notes at a reasonably fast
speed are described here.
The techniques are:
Revision-Importance
It’s a bridge between what you have
studied, learnt and remembered and
what you are going to attempt.
Method of Revision
While carrying out a revision of studies, it is advisable to observe the following:
Consult the notes
New material to be avoided:
Recalling is more effective than just reading:
Revision sessions:
Major revision:
The bulk of the revision should be completed about one week ahead of the examination. Last minute rush with late night sittings often produce fatigue and confusion.
Anxiety and Stress
