What study technique do you often use, and how effective is it?

The study technique that I always use is to write it down, especially to list the points down so that it can be easy for me when reading the materials. This technique of a thing is a movable material because I may sit down somewhere and read what I summarized concerning the topic.

It's so effective and efficient for me because it aids my learning and rest assured that everything will be better at the end of the day. This technique is the effective way because it helps me to focus on the critical material by breaking it down to the smaller ideas.

Most of the material that I used to study for exams is stressful, but writing down my points gives me the ability to organize myself, which will eventually give me clarity about the particular subject. I like to study for about 1 or 2 hours in the school library because it would help me get all the most important points. I do revision through the notes I jot down before going to the exam hall so that I would not forget when I read.

What is the biggest distraction that affects your studies, and how do you control it?

The biggest distractions that affect my study are social media, smartphones, music, and television, which are the biggest challenges when studying my favorite subject. These interruptions can quickly divert my attention to other things, so I would not be able to concentrate.

Here are the tips that I usually use to control them:

• Silent mode: I put my phone on do not disturb or I will put it away so that calls from friends or family will not distract my attention while studying. I usually take a break for about 30 minutes during the hour. During the break, I check my phone and respond to calls or messages in case of an emergency.

• Stopping internet access: I turn off my internet browser because notifications can cause distractions and lead me to check Facebook and Twitter pages. I do this before I begin studying. I also prefer to study on the desk rather than on the bed so that I can concentrate.

• Privacy: I like privacy area especially in a silent room so that my siblings and friends will not come to disturb me. In case if my friends come around, I always told my brothers to tell them that I am study for an exam.

What is one good habit that helps you improve your academic performance?

I always find a good place to study, because it help me to pay attentive memory to the particular subject concerned. So its one of the best way to retain what I have been studying all this while. Sometime I do go to a place where is minimal noise as well as to also avoid distraction. This place is known as library because I consider it as my favorite place to do research and study.

• As a students, I have access to make use of E-library to browse any book of my choice.

• Less noise within the library environment, where I make uses of desk rather than the bed because sleep can happen at anytime.

• I also have the ability to read other related book to improve my learning.

Explain any digital tools, apps, or resources that you commonly use for study?

Opera Mini is one of the effective tools that I use for study. This digital tool does not consume data. One of the most interesting things about this tool is that users can save their favorite sites offline and click on the save mode to continue reading from where they stopped without using data.

Through this tool, I learned how to apply markdown style. Although I didn't read everything at once, I opened the offline save mode, where it displayed markdown style that I saved, and I began to master it and make use of it for neatness.

Even if other digital tools refuse to connect due to network failure, this particular one will connect without delay.

What advice would you give to students who struggle with anxiety and depression during their studies?

The following are the steps for students facing such challenges:

➡️Visiting mental health services: Students should visit school mental health services, such as the counseling unit if applicable, so that they can be guided on how to overcome depression and anxiety through available resources.

➡️Prioritize your health: Students who face such challenge must have enough sleep for 8 hours as well as engaged in physical activities like walking and drinking clean water. All these must be adopted to overcome anxiety and depression.
