6. Don’t let healthy habits slip
It’s always tempting to binge on junk food around deadlines, so you can spend more time studying and not cooking. But in reality, this is only going to have a negative effect on your brainpower. Taking the time out to cook is both a great way to give yourself a break from the books, and also to ensure your body is getting the nutrients it needs at this stressful time.
Top nutritionist Jo Lewin recommends opting for whole grains for a steady supply of energy, oily fish for healthy brain function, antioxidant blueberries and tomatoes for improving short term memory, and vitamins C and K in the form of blackcurrants and broccoli to increase mental agility and enhance cognitive function. And don’t forget to drink plenty of water to keep hydrated and help your brain work faster. Goodbye vending machines, hello straight A student!

5. Break it down
Scientifically speaking, cramming is never constructive. Instead, it is much better for you to break your workload down into bite-size chunks. Research has proven time and time again that studying for shorter periods of time with regular rest intervals improves both concentration and memory capacity. Your brain is much better at encoding information into the synapses in short, repeated sessions, rather than one large one.
Think back to when you were younger and you learned to swim, ride a bike or play a musical instrument for the first time — you never perfected these skills in one day. So whether you’re memorising difficult maths equations or revising Spanish verb conjugations, remember to follow this technique!

4. Get flashy
Flashcards have been a fashionable study tool since a simple-yet-effective method was developed by German science journalist Sebastian Leitner in the 1970s. The Leitner system makes use of multiple flashcards organised into a box; if you manage to answer a card correctly, you file it into a section that will be revised less often, but if you give the wrong answer, the card is moved into a section to be revisited more frequently. This system is a highly effective way of prioritising your study topics in a logical manner and, better yet, means you can practise just about anywhere!

3. Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3…
Not only do practice tests increase your
confidence before heading into the real exam, which in turn helps lead to better performance, they also improve your overall exam technique because you learn good pacing skills. By sitting down and taking a practice paper in exam conditions (that means no mobile phones, music or computers — just you, the questions, a pen and a clock to keep track of time), you’ll get a good idea of how the exam will be on the day and how you’ll divide your time. If a whole century of research proves that repeated testing works, the experts can’t be wrong.

2. Get into the swing of things
Pulling all-nighters may work for a very small handful of students, but unfortunately for the majority of people all-nighters generally equal lower grades.
Research has proven that getting into a routine and setting yourself up to study at specific times of the day actually trains your brain to learn in those moments, making each and every revision session really count.
Some students work best in the morning, others in the evening — there is no right and wrong here. So find the routine that suits you, then make a study timetable and stick to it over the exam period. Your grades will thank you for it!

1. Take a highlighter hiatus
Many students rely on highlighters to mark important parts of text, whether it’s in weekly seminar readings or their own notes. But studies have shown that this method may actually hinder revision progress. According to Professor John Dunlosky, students are more likely to focus on one concept at a time if they identify phrases and words with a brightly coloured pen, making it more difficult to absorb the information as a whole or link key concepts together.
Instead of using highlighters, grab a big piece of paper and try to mind map the most significant points of the key texts you’ve read. Creating a visual map will help link the ideas together, and the physical action of writing and drawing will trigger your kinaesthetic memory.

Christianity Etc › The Truth About Sex by Psittacus(op): 3:11pm On Feb 08, 2016
THE MYSTERY OF SEX
1. Sex is a product of God.
2. Sex is spiritual not just physical.
3. Sex isn't just fun, sex is a covenant. The male and female sex organs were designed for covenant purposes.
4. Sex is the relinquishing of your birth right.
5. Illicit sex breaks men focus -proverb 6:32,33.
A man become stupid under the influence of sex
Upon every sexual act a man loses instinct/significance/dignity/stave/
bracelet.
Illicit Ejaculation also means spilling of your soul- a fraction of your soul is left out (sex outside marriage)
6. Illicit sex can make a slave out of you.
SEX IS MARRIAGE... ALTER WEDDING IS CEREMONY
HOW TO BREAK SEX WEAKNESS
1. Acknowledge you have it.
2. Get born again.
3. Cut off the source of supply.
4. Unfriend all your friend that only talk about sexual things.
5. Break the yoke.
6. Sow a seed.
NOTES:
LADIES: if your primary objective is to be sexy, then you will attract men whose primary objective is to have sex.
Put an end to all satanic dress in the name of looking good/smart/fashion
GUYS: until you discover something more than sex in a woman, you might never appreciate the gift of having one close to your heart.
If you're gonna make love with the person whom you love so much, do it wearing the safest thing A WEDDING RING not engagement ring.
GHM:
Surrender yourself to God...

i guess so i know am jst 18 nd it sounds silly i dnt really believe in love so getting married is no probs for me right nw
So you want to get married and get it over with, do you think that's the solution...or you will live happily ever after. Life is not a fairy tale dear. You need to acknowledge that you made a mistake and start living again. Not lock yourself behind bars in a man's house. And listen to your self say you don't believe in love.... what the heck is that about!

Osun set the pace, Kwara followed. I think Ekiti is also broke but they haven't come out to beg for funds.

Why are all the broke states from the southwest?
kwara is in north central not southwest. And those buffon of a figure head are dedicated liers, who refused to pay local goverment workes and those teachers in the primary school, state workers and secondary sch teachers are paid regularly. Imagine a state government claiming they are not responsible for wateva is going on the local gov... I weep for a frnd whose parent are both teachers, and dey cud nt even afford to give him 2k when he had to go bck to sch yesterday. They had beta watch dia bck, kwarans are widely awake nw
