How to Study Smart

Why do some students study very hard, spending most of their time doing their revision but they aren’t the best in their study group? And why are there some students who only spend a fraction of the time studying but they often get good or even outstanding results? This was not due to the lack of natural talent in studies but it simply means that they have not found an effective tool which acts as a knack for understanding concepts and learning new ideas. One of the smart study habits is by using mind-map to promote effective and accelerated learning experience. A mind map is a useful web-like structure which emphasizes visual imagery that helps to engage in critical thinking and seeing a bigger picture.

No one is born to be perfect


Hello, my name is Chun Hong. I would like to share my story with you guys. I am currently a third-year degree student in BSc (HONS) Accounting and Finance of YPC International College. I am a disabled student and before I entered the college, I was so worried that I will get discriminated. But it did not happen on me. I did not feel isolated because I have a bunch of very good friends who constantly care about me. My classmates are also very friendly that they treat me like a normal human being, which makes me feel accepted, and most importantly, connected.

There are four floors in my college and my classes change frequently that we do not conduct classes in a fixed classroom. My physical activity is severely limited due to my disability, which I couldn’t get to them all by myself. I am so grateful that my friends are always there to lend me their hands, where they will bring me into the class without me asking for the favour. I have never felt left out and I am so thankful of what I have now. My ultimate goal now is to graduate with flying colours and make my parents proud of me.
