guys take a look at this....my brother gave it to me. His wife is a university lecturer.
Due to some highly reliable research by the University of Armington, the following myths have been busted.
"studying for long periods of time in the week before the hsc will help you on the day" ---false. In actual fact, studying two hours a day or less will allow your brain to absorb information at an accurate level. Any more study will most likely jumble up your short term memory and will have disasterous impacts on your ability to recall information during your examination. It is therefore recommended that no more than two hours of study per day should be undertaken.
"In order to maximise your chances of success, you should have been prepared for the hsc since day one."---false. In actual fact, studying on a regular basis for a long period of time will give the individual slightly more chance of recalling information in an examination situation. however, it has been proven that long term study s not a critical aspect in hsc examination success.
"Cramming information for two hours the night before will reduce my chances of success in an hsc exammination"---false. In actual fact it is undoubtedly evident that a no more than two hour cramming period usually results in the individual accurately retaining 98.43% (on average) of the information.
the moral of the story is....studying your behind off only results in increation levels of stress, a jumbled short term memory and hence a considerably lower examination mark. studying no more than two hours per day is the key to hsc success. Also, regular study does not neccesarily result in a higher mark. Occasional study (every few days) will allow your brain to proccess the information and ultimately increase your chances of success.
