(Estimated reading time: 2 minutes)

We have shared with you some mistakes you may make while studying for your licensure exams. Now, we’re going to tell you the best ways to prepare for these licensure exams. These can help you conquer every milestone strategically and with much less stress.

Find your learning style

You probably already heard this in college, but you need to find your personal learning style. Are you a visual or auditory learner? Can you remember things better if you write them down? Find out which style works best for you and get the right materials to match.

Dedicate enough time

You can’t possibly learn everything you need to know overnight. Mastering the materials would take time, and the last thing you would want to do is cram. Find time to allocate at least one or two hours to studying everyday. Prepare for the exam months ahead and give enough time between repetitions of a topic to retain information better.

Start a study group

There’s the risk of chatting the night away instead of studying, but doing a study group allows you to hold each other accountable. You can also help each other with your respective weaknesses. Set a time for meeting and studying together. Group discussions can go a long way.

Avoid burnout

Study breaks are extremely important. There’s no use forcing yourself to learn everything but be unable to retain it because you’re too exhausted. Doing something you enjoy before the exam can also be more beneficial rather than studying up to the last minute.

Exercise between breaks

Yes. Exercise! Those who exercise with moderate intensity for at least 30 minutes a day have been proven to have improved memory and concentration. A healthy body is just as important as a healthy mind!
