When you’re on the go, you need to fit in study around your busy schedule. Flash cards are a great way to quickly revise each week’s content. Check out ‘A+ Pro’, it’s a free flash card app for iPhone. It’s a great idea to have a study plan, and set small tasks to accomplish each week. But don’t be too hard on yourself if things pop up and study gets put on the back seat for a week. You are broadening your mind…and your passport. So be realistic with your expectations of studying. Break down your goals into small and simple steps, and enjoy the journey. Travelling and studying can be tiresome…not to mention doing both at once. Take some time out to catch up on shut-eye, you’ll be able to study better after a good night’s sleep.
