The 2021-2022 school year is coming to an end, and that means semester tests are right around the corner. Semester tests can be a very stressful time for many students, and they involve a lot of studying. Here are some studying tips that will allow for a stress-free study session. 

Go to a coffee shop: Coffee shops are a great place to study. They are a quiet place that can help focus your mind on your studies. Normally others are also studying there, so everyone is very mindful. Coffee shops are a good place to study if one wants to be concentrated and not get distracted. Not only are they quiet but one can also get a drink to sip on while studying. Some great coffee shop places in the Sioux Falls area are Scooters, Queen City Bakery and Coffea. 

Studying with friends: Studying is not always an exciting task,  so many people love studying with their friends. Studying topics with others that are in your class can help one ensure that they know the material to the best of their ability. 

Take breaks: If one is studying for hours and hours, then it is a great idea to take 20-25 minute breaks in between. Taking breaks while studying is important to give one’s brain a break.

Go over review sheets and notes: Going over review sheets and notes is a great way to brush up on material from earlier on in the year. Many students are not able to remember everything that they learned at the beginning of the semester so going over notes is helpful for remembering material that will be on the test. 

Do not procrastinate: Studying further in advance than the day before is a rewarding thing to do. It is also not a good idea to study last minute because then one will have to cram everything in at the last minute. If one studies in advance it could also help them remember the material better rather than studying the day before the tests. 

Whatever tips one takes from this article is also important to remember to try your best and go into the test with a positive mindset to ensure the best outcome.
