Meanwhile, to all those who are busy mugging, here are 3 quick study tips for you: 

(Tips are given based on my 3 year mugging experience for Psychology exam. My grades are not awesome, but I get better at understanding the concepts and learn how to apply my knowledge better.)

  • Snack on happy finger food that are not too heaty! Induction of :) mood helps to expand your memory and working capacity. Meanwhile, you don't want to catch a throat infection. So drink loads of water as you snack away! Examples would be M&M's, bite-sized Cadbury chocolates - they activate the release of serotonin, the happy neurotransmitters in you!)
  • Everyone has different study techniques and modules. For those studying Arts and Social sciences modules, try drawing up brief mindmaps to link up all relevant headers so that you can see the associations among points from a bigger picture! Make sure they are not too wordy so as to save time. You can always refer to both the more informative notes and mindmap while doing your revision . I use bright and vivid coloured pens and highlighters to do my mindmaps to induce :) mood cos my eyes love colours. (Don't overdo this, as it may give your headaches :p)
  • Revise through your notes as many times as possible. You might have missed out some small minute points which may come out for your exam. My attention focuses on different things and strengthen the memory for seemingly trivial points. 
ALL THE BEST PEOPLE! <3
