Best Study Tips for Students to Score High Marks

Every student we have taught at Kothari Classes in Jalgaon has one question on day one: 'Sir, how do I study better?' Here are the same tips we share in our orientation session — simple, tested, and followed by our toppers.

1. Master time management

High scorers protect their time like money. Use the 'block method' — divide your day into 90-minute blocks, each dedicated to one subject. No switching. No phone. No TV.

2. Switch to active learning

• Teach the concept out loud as if teaching a younger sibling.
• Create your own flashcards after each chapter.
• Solve, don't just read — practice beats passive notes every time.
• Draw mind-maps for Biology and History.

3. Build a revision cycle

Revision within 24 hours and then again within 7 days multiplies retention by 4-5x. Mark your revision dates on a wall calendar the moment you finish a chapter.

4. Shut down distractions

• Phone on silent, face-down, in another room.
• Use a simple Pomodoro timer — 25 minutes study, 5 minute break.
• Keep a 'distraction journal' — write the thought, return to study, address it later.
