I am studying artificial intelligence for exam and came to a point where I need to revise everything I stuided. It ofc takes more effort in brain than learning the concept watching tutorials and reading blog posts as you need to memorize it(for exam).

Any guidance, on how to crack this position and start revising in such a way everything enters my head? Will yoga and meditation help? How do you guys do yoga and mditation at night? My room is filled with dirt so It is not possible to do yoga here. I feel lazy to do yoga in morning outside. Should I go outside(top of my house) to do yoga and meditation? Will that help? Please guide? Sorry for off topic. Really bothering me.

I have no idea if that will work for you. It never even occurred to me to try that, and I'm pretty sure that it would not have helped me.

hi tera,
That statement is nonsense, you don't need a Theatre type setting for mediation.
You should be able too just to sit down, close your eyes and compose your thoughts, where ever you are located.
It takes a little practice, but it can be helpful when mastered, just focus on your breathing, nothing else.
During the day, from time to time, I spend just 5 minutes or so, clearing my mental work desk.

Also, very important is to take short periods of light exercise, say 5 minutes 3 or 4 times a day.

How much time do you have to review your subjects?
What worked for me was to spend an hour at a time with fifteen minute breaks doing something different in between to clear my mind. I did most of my studying in the evenings. After a good night's sleep, what I had reviewed the previous evening all made sense.
I don't believe meditating would have helped me at all. It would have just wasted valuable time.
The most important thing is to motivate yourself to stick to the routine.
Good luck.

any idea what would work actually?
Redirection and concentration. There are things that are worth learning and you want to concentrate on those things until you achieve a comfortable familiarity. At the same time, you should realize that the process is cumulative, it does not have to happen in a single sitting, but rather it is acquired over a period of time. Games of strategy are a good example, where over time you acquire a knowledge base of things that work and things that don't. The process is called successive refinement and it is useful in many aspects of life and living.

What you need is a nice cup of tea. Then everything will be fine. Works for me but that's probably because I'm British.
Seriously, don't just read through your lecture notes. Try to anticipate what questions might be in the exam. (Do you have copies of old exam papers? They won't use last year's questions, but they might use the year before's.) See if you can answer the questions. Then go back and read your notes if you can't.

If that's the case, then it looks like Nepal needs some good engineering lectures. From what I've read, it also seems like a good place for developing renewable energy.
When you pass you exams, looks for bursaries and grants if you want to study abroad. Don't just look to America - it has some of the most expensive tuition fees in the world. You might be happier at somewhere like Manchester there's a community from the Indian sub-continent there, and it's a pretty good school of engineering (it did invent the world's first stored-program computer) and it's a lot cheaper to live there than in London.
Although the landscape may be rather different from what you're used to, Holland is worth a look - the universities are excellent, tuition fees are cheap - and they do teach in English.

Yes, I most certainly can, that's why I posted to others that you show the tendency of a troll. Two forums calling you out is another idea that it's true.
I can post in as many forums as I want unless if they are the same forum and I am spamming many posts per hour or per day with website links or stuffs like that. Two trolls calling you out doesn't mean anything. I will keep doing what is right unless I am violating the rules. Won't be surprised sagor dude is from Nepal. Nepalese have some of the IDK what to say mentality when they see their acquaintance irl and in internet. I am not surprised.
