🔥 10 Golden Rules of Toppers

✅ Set a Goal: Decide exactly what you want to finish before sitting down.
✅ No Bed Studying: Always use a table and chair. Beds are for sleeping.
✅ Keep Phone Away: Put your phone on silent mode in another room.
✅ Write & Learn: Don't just read; try to write what you learned without looking.
✅ Wake Up Early: The time between 4 AM to 7 AM is the best for focus.
✅ NCERT is Essential: For Board exams, stick to your primary textbooks first.
✅ Teach Your Friends: If you can't explain it to a friend, you haven't understood it.
✅ Drink Water: Drink half a glass of water every hour to keep the brain active.
✅ Revision is Key: It is more important to revise old topics than to learn new ones.
✅ Sleep Well: At least 7 hours of sleep is necessary for memory retention.

Pomodoro Technique

Method: Study for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break.
After 4 cycles, take a long break (20 min). This prevents mental fatigue.

🔁

Spaced Repetition

Method: Instead of cramming, review topics at intervals.
Day 1: Learn, Day 3: Revise, Day 7: Final Revision. This stores info in long-term memory.

Feynman Technique
