- Health is the square root of success
Have you ever found yourself getting lost in the moment, telling yourself that you need to relax, again and again? This may be because you are living an unhealthy life. Consider paying more attention to your daily routine. It is essential that you eat, drink and sleep well. Aim to sleep for seven or eight hours every night, try to eat healthy food and try to drink pure water. In addition, regular exercise and meditation are also helpful. Keep in mind, however, that you must leave yourself time to study.
- Your free time is your own time
If you ask most students to choose between studying maths and using social media, they will likely choose the latter, because they prefer immediate happiness. Do not be like them. I am not telling you to spend 15 hours per day doing maths. Instead, make your time count by studying efficiently and regularly. Put gaps in your schedule. Spend your free time doing something creative, such as using a Rubik’s cube or playing chess.
- Practice to the power of infinity makes perfect
Practice, practice, practice. Now say that again. This is it. Always practice maths.
In order to conquer the upcoming final hurdle, take these useful tips into account. Needless to say, many other factors, including studying hard, paying attention in class and asking others for help, will also contribute to your success. I did not mention them all here, because I wanted to focus on the most important factors that most students overlook. I hope you find my advice helpful. I wish you the best of luck!
