[b]Most students have been complaining that
they fail these and that,even to the extent that
47% was recorded for pass grade at the just
concluded G.C.E. WAEC,Our guidelines will
help you to read and understand.
Take your pen as you read,it goes thus:[/b]
1.[b]Take Away all distractions:[/b]
Don't allow your brain and your body at large
to be distracted by Gf/BF,Food,family
problems e.t.c. when reading,
One brain can't do more than one things
perfectly at a time,your brain is not a
machine[even machines do rest] avoid over
using it. When you are reading,focus with
one mind and avoid diversion. Moreso,some
students are also distracted by meaningless
things like games,social medias e.t.c. When
reading,that shouldn't be,focus your brain on
what you are reading.
2.[b]Take A respite:-[/b] An adage says "All work and
no play makes jack a dull boy". After reading
for like 45 to 60mins,take a respite and
relax,don't over use your memory by reading
for 6hrs without stopping. USE YOUR Brain
wisely. When you relax for about
15mins,come back fresh and excited.
3.[b]Summarize what you read:[/b]
Take a brief upshot of what you read,some
books might be tedious that you might not
want to read again,take brief note of some
keywords on what you read and write them
down,it really helps.
Read at the best time easy for you , God
created us in different ways but thesame
patterns,
Don't read when you hate most like in the
midnight when most people hate,don't
inconvinient yourself and know when you
assimilate what you read most.
Like me now,it is in the MORNING.
Discover yourself!

5.[b]If possible,read in groups:[/b]
Sometimes,you may feel bored when you read
alone,call your friends and mates so that you
can read together but don't misuse the
opportunity by playing and gisting for fun
when you ought to be reading,you can only
gist when on respite.
6.[b]Use Dictionaries when reading:[b]
Most of the times when you read,it is not
advicable to use dictionaries because it waste
time and distracts attention but there are
some courses you need it e.g. GEOLOGY:
Words like seismometer e.t.c.
7.[b]Ask yourself questions on what you read
after reading:[/b]
An adage also says "Without an Exam/ TEST,No
success,test yourself on what you read by
asking yourself question on it,just like
revising.
8.[b]Create the habit of reading at least twice a a
day:[/b]
At times,when you read a topic today and
continue it tommorow,you may still forget
what you read,just read twice a day and there
is every possibility you may never forget what
you read again
9.[b]Don't be forced to read:[/b]
This is mostly applicable to secondary school
students,why should they force you to read? !
When they force you to read,you can't even
understand what you read and it also leads to
creating some hatred habits towards the
course
