Effective Study tips (I think!)

Hey Guys!
So It's getting to the end of the 1st term and the end-of-term exams are coming up (in New Zealand), and I am currently studying as to not fail my exams!
I have picked up a few helpful study hints that I want to share with you. Comment if you find them useful ! :)
1. Use a diary or a calendar-
just something visual for you to see when the exam dates are and how long you have to prepare for them. This helps you to
2. Set a target-
set yourself deadlines to when you have to memorise the periodic table by, etc. By setting yourself a target, it's easier to see how far you have come, and is also helpful for
3. Bribing yourself- 
after you have achieved one of your goals or targets, award yourself for coming this far. Trust me, it's way easier to learn things if you know that you earn yourself a chocolate bar if you do!
4.  Be realistic-
okay, you're not going to have to know all the names of the stars in the sky- just the main ones. Don't waste your time on pointless things or things that you don't have to know. Also, don't overload on the information in one day! (Remember point 2)
5. Don't stay hunched over your textbooks all day-
it's way too difficult to have to study all day every day! It's been proved that after a few hours of studying, it helps to get out and about for an hour again to "digest" all the information you have learnt. Think of you brain like your stomach- it's vital to feed it on a regular basis, but over feeding can be bad too!
6. Dream of your life after the exams-
you have a life after exams too (if you haven't forgotten!). After your last test, you will be all free, and ready to shut off for two weeks during the holidays! If point 3 doesn't help drive away the pain, just think of the freedom after your final test!
I hope theses tips really helped your studying, and I hope your exams go well!
Stay faithful,
Faith xox
