"I googled what are some of the best study hacks backed by research. So tip number one: a study at Cardiff uni found that chewing gum can improve your ability to concentrate for longer periods of time. People who chewed gum performed better and more accurately on longer tasks than those who didn’t. Tip number two: change your fonts. Because research has shown that a ‘harder to read’ font can actually help retain the information more easily. Scientists think that this is because it actually gets us to think about the information as opposed to just reading it. Tip number three: ditch the reading altogether. Studies have shown that the majority of students prefer to listen to information as opposed to read it."
