Reading Smart not Reading Hard - Sodiq Oriyomi

"Failing is not loosing it at all, it help you more in discovering your weakness, and turning it into strength by applying new strategies for better result" (Oyewole 2017)

God is your strength, is not too late. My advice is that read smart, you don't need to read hard, then pray to God for better output.

The word read smart is an impregnated word that has alot, incompased in it, such as; understanding each lecture before the next lecture, tracking your progress by solving exercises​ and pass question papers, don't cramm from the beginning of the semester, understand them.

Have enough sleep don't allow your reading time table to affect your sleeping time, get atleast 6-7hrs rest daily...for instance you may decide to be reading 6hrs a day from the beginning of the semester and be posted that "the earlier the better",have your time table for studying written down and ensure you follow it (sometimes I do put signed​ by O'wise...lol).

When you want to take test or exam: relax, read all the question first, then answer the one you can solve intensively first on your booklet to capture the attention of the lecturer marking your script, just make sure you label the answer to question you want to answer, the order is less significant..

 During the semester separate time may be two or three times a week for exercise, may be jogging even if its not more than 30min. From research, exercise release endorphin, which is a stress relief hormone that help you to manage stress. You have my word , this routine will see you through ATBU ardous and you will succeed as your seniors do, insha Allah......Pen of sir O'wise
