Studying is something that a lot of people struggle with. With so many different studying techniques, it is difficult to find the perfect one. Here are some proven study tips to help make any test a lot easier.

Studying when sleepy is said to help the information sink into the brain while sleeping. It is supposed to work like bedtime stories do for kids. Glancing over the notes right before going to bed is a good way to retain information.

Spaced repetition is a new learning technique that involves separating information into smaller chunks while studying rather than trying to take in all the information at once. This technique works best if spaced over a few days.

A more unique study shows that learning the same information in a different place everyday can help remembering the information. When moving around, the brain is forced to associate different locations with the same material, there for making what is being studied a stronger memory.

The last study tip, and possibly the most important, is putting the information to the test. Quizzing could possible be one of the best ways to study because of a situation so similar to actually being tested. The harder it is to remember information, the more likely it is to remember it the second time around.
