Attendance comes first. Do not miss classes or days at school unless it is absoutely necessary. There is information given in class that you cannot get later. Keep notes and handouts organized, and in order. When you are given a handout, put the date at the top so it stays in the right order in your binder. If you have to read and make notes on a chapter, do it right away, the same night. Don't let reading assignments pile up; in fact, don't put anything off. If you stay on top of it, you don't have to worry about going under. If you don't understand something or are struggling, get help right away. Don't give up until that teacher has helped you figure it out. The only stupid question is the one that isn't asked. I hate to say it, but teachers are human, and when they grade work their feelings about the student do come into play to a small degree. Do not grub for grades, make a pest of yourself, act up in class or do anything else that will lower your teacher's opinion of you. Review periodically throughout the term - you will be better prepared for exams. Start studying early for exams, and do not study the night before a test or the day of it. If you don't know it by then, you haven't done it right. Don't cram. Study in an area that has everything you need. There is no need to eliminate television, music, etc. unless it interferes with your concentration. Some students study better with a bit of activity around them, others need absolute quiet. Determine what works for you. Time management is critical. Set a time period to do homework and study that is consistent, and do not go beyond it. Say from 7 - 9 p.m. This is after dinner, and allows for you to watch a little tv, read, get ready for bed, and still get to sleep early. It is important to have a set schedule and stick to it, or your studies will run away with you and you'll get burned out. Let things go. If you're hung up on a 13/20, you're not focusing on getting a higher mark on the next thing. Don't belabor your work - if the essay is done, and it looks good, let it go, don't keep picking at it. Perfectionism and obsessiveness will do you in if you're not careful. That's about all I can think of, hope it helps, and have a good year!

When you are studying don't try and do it last minute.Try splitting it all up. I heard that if you study night before you go to bed you remember it. If your in a noisey place while studying your in the wrong place.
ENVIRONMENT CAUSES
Creating a study environment that makes studying easier seems like a simple thing to do. However, many students fail to control things that compete with their abilities to concentrate. Every student is different in regard to what is distracting or comforting when they study. Here is a list of the most common environmental distractions and possible solutions:
Noisy or Uncomfortable Study Area – reducing distractions begins with finding a quiet, comfortable place to study – this could be your bedroom, the library, a study area in your apartment complex or residence hall, etc.
Incomplete study materials – develop and use a system that allows you to keep track of all materials needed for studying for each subject so that you are not stopping to find missing materials
Visual distractions – re-orient yourself in your space to avoid the distractions (e.g. – turn your chair so your back is to the window), find a different space that is less likely to distract you
Auditory distractions – monitor yourself to see what makes you a better studier – TV on? Radio on? Telephone ringing? Etc. Then, tailor your study space to minimize or eliminate the noises that distract you. Earphones or earplugs can also be useful in some situations.
Conveniences – be ready to study by taking care of those things that will likely distract you, e.g. have a drink handy, go to the bathroom before you start to study, etc.
PHYSICAL CONDITION
Your ability to study or concentrate depends a great deal on what shape you are in at the moment you sit down to study. Here are some issues to consider when planning to study:
When do I study best? – some people are “morning people” and some are “night owls”. If you are trying to study at a time when you already know you will be tired, you are making your life that much more difficult. Study at a time when you feel most alert.
How long to study? – most research shows that human beings are capable of focused concentration for about an hour, give or take a few minutes. Plan your studying so that you take short, scheduled breaks. This will help you refresh yourself and increase your ability to concentrate.
What to study – research also shows that, on average, people do better at concentrating by varying what they are concentrating upon. You may find that alternating the subjects you study among the hour-long study blocks you create helps you to stay more focused overall.
General energy level – the more run down you get, the more difficult it is to concentrate. Overall, the best way to prepare yourself for tasks that require concentration is to be sure you are getting plenty of sleep and moderate exercise.
Physical comfort – you may find that it is less distracting for you to wear certain kinds of clothes when you study. You may also need to factor in the temperature of the study area you have chosen so that you are dressed appropriately for that as well.

Eat a mint or chewing menty gum helps concentraton. Get away from distractions. Like if you're home and can't help but watch tv, go online, goof around. Then go to the library or a coffee shop. Find a corner to sit in. Order tea. And yay now you can study.

Shut your browser window. That will eliminate the impulse to check your e-mail (or yahoo answers).
Work for 1/2 hours, attempting to keep your concentration. Then break for 10 minutes. Get up, stretch, breathe some fresh air. The work will get done much quicker - I promise!

Outline as you study. After each page spend some time considering what you read before going on to the next page.
Cut out all disturbances except perhaps some low soft classical music.

Find a quiet place to study where you won't be interrupted. No music, no cell phone (no phone at all). Multitasking won't let you keep your attention on what you are studying. Make yourself comfortable. Have supplies nearby to take notes and then start reading. Give yourself an hour, take a break and then go back to finish.
