4) Selective Study:
“20% causes are responsible for 80% effects”. This is a very powerful observation that implies that there is always a critical part of every object, every process and every action. Selective study technique should be used in cases of emergency only. If you are a brilliant student who manages time well, this need should never rise. However, there is always chance of an emergency, and so it would be fitting to empower you with this powerful method.

Selective Study has a few pre conditions attached to it – first and foremost, it must only be used when the NEED arises. It is a luxury that must not be resorted to quite often and should be used in case of urgency.

First, selective study involves focusing of what you already now till you know it perfectly. If you don’t studying what you already aware of, don’t even think of the unstudied portion. This will ensure that the marks you score in questions that were asked from the portion you have studied will be maximum. There is no point in being the Jack of all trades and the master of none!

Once that is finished you can go to the unread part, the unstudied section. Pick up what appears to be the most interesting to you and do it in true detail. As you see, it’s all about doing less things but in more detail than doing more things with lesser details.
