Research conducted by caffeine energy stimulant ProPlus has revealed the habits of the most successful students from the last ten years.
1. Avoid the relationship status: ‘It’s complicated’; The term ‘it’s complicated’ is a common phrase at university as students make the most of their freedom by having different, sometimes even overlapping, relationships. However, whilst this might sound like fun, it can have a negative effect on academic performance, particularly during the final year.
2. Put in a little extra and it will go a long way; Whilst many students might think they could never commit to match the work ethic and time put in by students striving or a first, you might be surprised to know the difference in studying hours is far less then you might expect. In fact, the research reveals that students who achieved a first grade pent spend 12 more hours studying a month in their final year than those that failed, showing that a little extra really can make a big difference to your overall grade.
3. Stay ahead of the game; Planning ahead and creating a realistic work schedule to balance studying and your social life is often not a priority in the mind of most students. As a result, last minutes rushes to get work done, including ‘all-nighters’, are not uncommon, with some students regularly being penalized and lose marks for missing deadlines. According to the research though, being organized when it comes to your course work can be a key ingredient for success.
4. Try and strike a perfect balance; Your house-mates are going out to the town and they ask if you fancy joining them. Why not? No harm done. Well indeed, the secret isn’t staying in but simply getting the right balance between studying and socializing. The simple fact is that students who achieved a first class grade or a 2:1 spent more hours a week studying than they did partying in their final year – those with a first spent four hours more and those with a 2:1 spent 2 hours more.In contrast, those with a 2:2, third or those that failed all spent more time socializing than they did studying.
5. Dig out your trainers and get moving; Everyone knows that exercise is good for you but did you know it can help you achieve better grades? Well the research suggests it does. A fifth of students who got a first and 21% of those with a 2:1 said they exercise regularly to help fight off tiredness compared to just 12% of those with a 2:2, 9% of those with a third and7% of those that failed. “So if your gym kit is gathering dust in the cupboard, go and grab it right now! And whilst sleep is always the best option, for those times when you need to relieve the symptoms of tiredness and fatigue in a hurry, remember ProPlus which contains 100mg. “The caffeine in two tablets, is the equivalent to a strong cup of coffee and can help restore mental alertness.”
