These days there are so many study hacks, timers, and “study with me” videos that it’s hard to know what really works.
So instead of guessing, we asked the real experts  Gen Z toppers who’ve actually nailed their exams.
Here’s what they shared:

1. Remember More by Testing Yourself
Why it works: Just reading notes isn’t enough. When you try to remember without looking, your brain works harder, and you remember longer.
How they do it: After studying, they close the book and write down everything they remember. Then they check and add what they missed.

2. 30 Minutes Focus, 10 Minutes Break
Why it works: We all get distracted easily, so it’s better to work in short, focused times.
How they do it: 30 minutes of full focus, then a 10-minute break to stretch, eat, or take a walk. This way they don’t burn out.

3. Teach to Learn
Why it works: If you can explain something in simple words, you truly understand it.
How they do it: Some make short videos for friends, some explain to siblings, and some even talk to an imaginary audience.

4. No Distractions While Studying
Why it works: Using your phone while studying kills focus.
How they do it: They put the phone on silent, block apps, and play music without lyrics to stay in the zone.

5. Use Visual Tools
Why it works: Our brain loves colors and pictures.
How they do it: Mind maps, colorful notes, and flashcards make it easier to remember things during exams.

6. Practice With Mock Tests
Why it works: Practicing in exam style removes fear and pressure.
How they do it

 They don’t wait until the last week, they start small mock tests from the very beginning.

Final Note
Gen Z toppers don’t just study more, they study smart. They mix focus with rest, use the right tools, and test themselves often.
If you want better results, start with even one of these tips today. Small daily efforts can make a big difference.
