Have you ever experienced the feeling of being stressed up as the time ticks closer towards your examination date? Not enough time to study? Too much information to absorb? Burning the midnight oil to compensate the wasted time?

Worried?
I'm sure a huge number of the students here in Malaysia has experienced or is experiencing those situations mentioned above. As young adults, or preferably known as teenagers, we love to play and enjoy ourselves. We often neglect the simple fact that we need to study in order to ensure a better, and also wealthier, life in the future.
Let's not mention about Bill Gates or our very own Malaysian Tan Sri Dato' Loh Boon Siew. If you're thinking of being rich by dropping out from school, your parents are obviously going to chop your head off!
So, what are the appropriate ways to excel in studies? Normally people would say study loh!, read notes lah! and don't play truant!. But that's not enough for a student to do better. Group studies are encouraged too but nowadays majority of the study sessions has become yakking sessions.
Well, fret not. Here are 5 studying tips just for you.
In the western countries, lecturers willmumble lecture without providing any single notes. Students are supposed to do their own research and produce their own notes. I bet most of us will suffer if we were to study abroad.

Yes, it's CS228: Java.
Anyway, if you're still lazy, just make sure your study notes are complete and sufficient enough to obtain a passing grade. However, some smartasses students are still able to do very well without the extra effort. Well, let's just say that they're brilliant, or they're those lucky asses ones.
Some can concentrate with the presence of music. Well the music depends on one's own preference too. Some prefer instrumental music, some techno and some hard rock music. Well, whichever genre suits your taste it's fine, as long as it helps you to concentrate.
Besides that, some students will have better concentration level when they study at odd places.Just like me!

At the toilet.
Toilets are well known to have a unique and distinguish aroma that increases the alertness of almost everyone! Try it out! =P
What you can do is actually to study in 'blocks' weeks earlier. By doing consistent and frequent studies, you would have a better capability of remembering the information read.
Well, I've also done my preparation so far. These were the preparation I've done throughout my whole May 2008 semester to ensure my 'flying with colours' result.
