    Community Answer
    To study like you are Hermione, follow all these steps and read whenever you can, preferably non-fiction books. Read at lunch, when you finish work early and just try to cram in a page or two whenever you can. She also tries to go to bed early.

    Are there real versions of the books they read in Harry Potter?
    Community Answer
    Yes! There's a three-book pack called "Hogwarts Library" and they contain copies of "Quidditch Through the Ages," "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," and "The Tales of Beedle The Bard"! They're fantastic, and if you read them on a chilly day while drinking some tea or butterbeer, you really feel as though you're at Hogwarts.

    How does Hermione study before the exams?

  • Question
    What can I do if I'm not very good at memorizing things?
    Community Answer
    If you want to memorize something, you just need to repeat it over and over again. A good method is to read the material over several times, then write it out a few times, then try to explain it out loud, even if you're just talking to yourself. If you feel like that works well, try to explain it again the next day to make sure you haven't forgotten.

    Sometimes I find it helps when you just take deep breaths, and to remind yourself why you're doing what you're doing. It might take some time, but if you find that your mind wonders, or people around you are distracting you, try to find a quiet place to work, and don't stress yourself out.

    Community Answer
    A rewards system can be helpful. If you have a task that seems particularly hard or challenging, or if it's something you just don't want to do, set a reward for yourself for completing it. For example, "If I finish my math worksheet, my reward is one episode of my favorite Netflix show." Or whatever you enjoy doing!
