Pick a good study space. Although it would be ideal for MBA students to study in their room in sweats with snacks nearby, living with roommates can make it hard to focus. MBA students need to make sure they pick a study space that is quiet and free of distractions, whether that’s a café or a quiet corner of the library.
Study with friends. Studying with friends who have different expertise is a great way of understanding difficult material. It also gives each student a chance to teach one another, thus, further cementing the lessons. Take advantage of study groups and participate with them as often as you can throughout the year.
Plan study bime. It is important to make a study schedule, keeping in mind how many exams need to be studied for and how much study time needs to be spent on each one. This way, it’s easier to focus on one project at a time and avoid becoming overwhelmed. Try having all deadlines and exam dates on a calendar with appropriate reminders and specific task lists for each item.
Eat healthy. It can be tempting for MBA students to turn to junk food when bogged down with studying, but greasy pizza and fast food are only going to encourage lethargy. Instead, munch on naturally energizing foods, like a protein bar or fresh fruit. Eating the right amount of protein will provide the energy needed to power through a library study session.
