Give yourself some leisure time on the weekend. Then, gradually return to study mode by the end of the weekend.

Question

What's the best seat in a classroom for better understanding?

Community Answer

If you want to be surrounded by other students, the middle of the classroom is best. If you prefer to learn one-on-one with the teacher, try one of the front seats so there is nothing between her and your line of sight.

How can I keep myself from sleeping during lectures when I had a long night?

Community Answer

Wash your face with cold water. Bring a bottle of cold water to class and dab your skin with it when you feel sleepy.

How do I study without a tutor? How do I study without coaching?

Community Answer

Ask parents, teachers, other classmates to help instead. Anyone who has a passion for learning and understands the subject matter well can teach you and get you enthused. You can also ask your parents if you can stay a little bit after school for tutoring from your teachers.
