3 Simple Tips to Study Effectively Are you amongst those spending sleepless nights covering the course? Ended up acing that exam, did you? A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Well, I have a proposition to make. I have 3 tips that will not only make you ace the exam (yes, yes, I know you have already done that, read on), but you will not need to spend hours and hours cramming it all up. True! I swear I am not pulling your leg. Let’s not beat around the bush and get this show on the road! How should I study? Yup, you read right. “How” is a very important question to answer. Why? Well, there are some people who don’t really need to study. I know so many people who don’t. They are quick learners and understanding and retaining information comes to them naturally. But for me, I always needed to write things down to memorize them. So, the first thing to do is realize what type of learner you are to know how you will be studying. Once that’s done, you are good to go. 1. Be Organized. I cannot stress on how important this is. Look below to find out what I mean by being organized. Being organized comprises of all these things. So, even if you have a pop-up quiz the next day, you won’t have to spend half the day looking for notes. 2. Study Smarter, Not Harder. Ever heard your professors say: “Study hard and you will do well?” That is one piece of advice that you may be tired of hearing. What I will advise you is to study smart not hard. What does studying smart mean? It sounds the same as studying hard, right? UMMMMM! Wrong! Studying smart encompasses the following things: Makes sense?
Now the last tip is very unique. Take a pre-test. I know, I know, don’t like what you are hearing? Well, taking a pre-test will not only let you know what type of question can come in the paper, but it will also tell you what is important, where do you stand in terms of the exam, how to tackle different questions and so much more. Better yet, go through the previous question papers and see what has been asked before. So, what are you waiting for? Happy studying! Special Thanks to Our Sponsors |

Access – Invite Them in!
We all know the importance of education and studying. Some fields follow a practical approach. On the other hand, some fields require rigorous studying.
Law is such a subject that requires a lot of studying and research.
But we also know the students have a short concentration span.
Yes, cramming and memorizing books and various law subjects is not possible.
What should be done then?
The best way to learn is through practice. But, how can you practice without getting your license?
What a dilemma!
Here’s a way for practicing lawyers and judges to help: invite the final year law students to various seminars and luncheons.
Why?
To gain knowledge.
Period.
We all know how seminars, mentoring programs, and meetings go.
A few influential speakers are called. Sometimes they share their experiences; other times, they share their success stories.
What better way to learn than learn from the best?
How to Give Access to Law Students to Various Informational Gatherings?
Here’s a quick list

How to Give Access to Law Students to Various Informational Gatherings?
Here’s a quick list
The first thing is to prioritize. It is better to invite the final year law students to these events as they step into the professional world.
- Meetings: Let them in one or two of your meetings. Real-life ones. In this way, they will get a firm grip on what goes on the professional front.
- Luncheons: This can be an informal way of communicating with them. Moreover, they can easily ask questions from the luncheon speakers and make a one-on-one relationship with them.
- Workshops: These are perfect for letting them solve real-life problems and fight hypothetical cases. Hence, gain confidence.
- Seminars: Let them know about the experiences, ideas, knowledge of powerful people in the profession.
