How to make my study plan

To make an effective study plan, you need to work smarter, not harder. You just need right tools, right strategies at right time for the right tasks. And this fact should be adopted in daily life especially in the life of students who has rather been a part of competition or suffering to get through.

 When I say “work smarter’, what does it actually mean?

It means you need to really plan your approach, make your mindset about things you’re going to tackle, cook up some solid plan to get things done and then make them happen actually. In simple words, when you are having a hard time getting through some work, then first you need to find your weakness, then let yourself know whether or not you can get over it, if yes, then what procedure do you need to put in. Once you recognize yourself and succeed in creating a kind of pattern for your work, just stick to your plan and do not give in until you’re home. In contrary to it, if you come across a kind of task or duty that seems like a hard pill to swallow, then I recommend you to get back to the drawing board, analyze some old works related to your field to see what specific steps you could take. Though this procedure might not give perfection to your work, I mean any port in a storm.

As my topic is confined to students’ plan their studies and timetable and especially those who are a kind of chickened out of their exams, have no idea where and how to start final exams preparations. For those students, I recommend them to make use of old papers of last 5 years if not more than that because it has been seen that questions often remains the same with the possibility of around 60%. Now you might wonder what if things do not get repeated, do you? The answer is quite simple, it is better to have something rather than nothing, as you’d almost given up.

Steps for Smarter Work in final exams

Collect Old Papers

Collect old papers of the relevant subject. You can do it online or offline depending on your region and let me tell you don’t forget to give importance to old papers of regions that are close to yours because exam board usually keep interchanging questions.

Analyze and ignore low-priority items

Once you’ve collected them, just sit tight and analyze them. Start creating your study plan by elimination method. Make a list of important chapters or to be more precise, a list of topics.

Work around your Study Plan

You’ll surely see a clear pattern of questions that give you an idea of important and least important chapters. For example, in mathematics papers of grade 9^th and 10^th, first two long questions always come from first four chapters. Now let me tell you what you need to do to move on.

As you see that pattern giving you a message that you need to spend more time on just first four chapters. If you’ve done them well, there is no way you can fail in the exam as every question, having 2 parts, contains 8 marks. That’s an essential method to prepare for your finals if you’ve not been good right through the year. In our pattern of papers, you’re supposed to do 3 long question where the third one belongs to theorems in the case of mathematics. Here you can prepare just one chapter of theorems as old papers also help you create a study plan for them too, I’m damn sure about it and this is the best way to study for a test and get ready for finals.

Now apart from long questions, there are three sections of short ones. And every chapter of mathematics contributes usually 2, at times 3, questions in a paper. If you cannot figure out conceptual ones, then you don’t need to worry yet, every section contains three to four definitions that you obviously learn by heart, I’m sure you would love to.

Make Study Timetable

 Now when you’ve everything in your hand, just create a kind of habit in the form of study plan and force yourself to commit the action on your plan every day. I call it the habit because if you keep working on your study timetable for around 30 days, it becomes a habit. To create a study plan, you can take help from various websites online as there are tons of data over it.

Above, I restricted myself to Mathematics study plan only, it’s just an example and you can try this method for other subjects too. My purpose is just to give an idea to work around things rather than spending hours on them, just work smarter and cook up some solid study plans which could make you feel better at the end of the day.

Test tips for you exams

A lot of students usually find it hard to cook up some plan to start studying for their final exams and generally Maths has always been a tension for a large number of students but the fewer. One who are really badass at learning things love doing maths as they are lucky to have a natural ease with the numbers. Other spend hours studying it yet not successful to solve questions in exams. Problem with most of the guys is that they understand what teacher teaches them in class, being careless; they believe they can do that later but at the eleventh hour, they end up with nothing. In short, students need to put a lot of time and focus to get better at maths that demands you to remember many formulas and theorems. The bottom line is; the more you practice, the better you’ll become. If you’re weak then you need to work smartly rather than sitting for hours. I’ll discuss that soon in my next post.

Now lets us discuss some test tips to do Maths test that may work wonder for you.

• Before entering into exam hall, make sure to do some physical exercise so that blood could run appropriately through your brain cells.
• When you get a paper in front of you, my tip for you is just take a deep breath, read that carefully and don’t let the tension overcome you.
• Select questions that are quite easy and separate those whose margin of error is comparatively large.
• Go for the easy questions first to spend more time on difficult ones.
• Just give your best shot to questions carrying more marks. Don’t mess with questions where margin of error is quite a high.
• Draw figures in lengthy questions so that things look cool. Figures also help you to remember things in case you forget on the way.
• If you get stuck on a way solving any question, don’t erase or cross that, just leave some space and head over to next question until you remember what you’ve forgotten. Here you need to be alert. When you leave any question half done, just mark it on your question paper so that you could not forget getting back to it. In short, don’t spend much time on any question more than requisite.
• You want your answer sheet to look beautiful and easy to understand to teacher who is gonna check and give you marks, isn’t it? Therefore, always make sure to write clearly, draw a margin line and show your rough work that makes easier for teacher to understand your process.
• When you’re done solving required questions, go through your answer sheet before handing it in to examiner.

Here’s a problem that a most of the students create for themselves after exam: they start beating themselves for not doing things the way they dreamed about or could have done. This is a big mistake as this thing can do just damage because taking tension and worrying for things that are no more in your control is useless. Now stats cannot be changed but your habit can create a kind of barrier in preparation for your next exam. So in short, just take things easy, follow some of these test tips and always cool up some solid pan to approach your paper as smart work has always been a better option than hard work. God bless you!!!

Pi Day Celebration

Pi Day Celebrations by physics professor

Today, 14 March, Pi day is being celebrated by the people related to science and especially to physics. Pi Day is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant π (pi). But question is; why is it celebrated on this day? First let me remind you the numerical value of π, that’s equal to 3.14. Now if we consider date in format month/day, then this day, March 14 has got a sequence of numbers found in value of π that are 3,1,4 three significant figures.

We all know π is mostly used whenever we’re to deal to curves and circular shapes and most of us are totally unaware of where this number actually came from, oops!!!

It came from circle, but how, let me show you. 

Suppose we’ve a circle of certain radius. Now if a line segment starts from one edge of a circle, travels directly through the centre and stops at the other edge of the circle then it is called “Diameter” of the circle. 

Now to find π, we take this diameter out of circle and put it on side as shown. Imagine we put some pressure on left and right sides of the diameter; we are actually doing kind of bending it as a result it adopts the shape of curve. And our goal in doing this is to create a curve that could fit nicely along the circumference of the circle. Once we are done with bending, we’ve an arc of length equal to length of the diameter. 

Now if we take and put this arc on the outside of the circle, so what we are trying to do here is we’re trying to figure out how many diameters does it take to cover the entire circumference of the circle one time. So if we keep taking these diameters and bending them around the circle then what we will find out that it takes exactly 3.14159….. , and whole bunch of extra numbers that follow, times to get around the circle to cover the entire circumference.

It has been shown that it takes three whole diameters plus .14159 portion of another diameter to entirely cover a circle. So essentially π tells the amount of times that the diameter will have to be kind of wrapped around the circumference of a circle to cover circumference exactly one time.

I hope this explanation would help readers to get through the question if it ever
