Congratulations on going to school and managing a full family. I'm sure your loved ones are very proud of you!!
To make sure you are reading all your chapter, I suggest you engage in SPEED READING - that is one of the best ways to reduce the amount of time spent on reading for class. I found it immensely helpful when I had a full class load with all the other things I had going on in my life. See these links http://speedlearning.org/columnboy.php?title=Speed+Reading%3A+Laws%21

I also recommend that you visit your college's Tutoring Center (or study center - whatever they may call it). They can provide you with handouts on how to skillfully manage your time and study for your classes.
Additionally, make notes (or create flashcards) when you are reading - this will help you when you are studying for your exams!
Good luck! You will do great! You go girl!

1. Make good connections with people. Especially with fraternity guys sorority girls. You don't have to pledge, but be cool with them because they keep this secret archive of "study notes" SUPPOSED to be only available to members in the family. Inside THE ARCHIVE stores all the valuable past exams & class notes from almost any class. By just studying these exams, exams should be a piece of cake comparing to having not to study from.
2. Pay attention to the professors who teaches the class. When u enroll a class with a professor who tends to give low grades, you're likely going to spend more time than you have to. Always check www.ratemyprofessors.com/
3. Other than that, just make sure you get all the easy points you can get. Some professors take rolls. It doesn't make sense if u miss those classes. Unless you really got other priority, do not ask someone else to sing-in for you. One of my friend almost got flunked for doing this.
by the way. it would help if you know how to kiss professor's *** and/or negotiate. It is not necessary, but it can definitely make a difference between a D or F.
These are the greatest shortcuts & tips i've got while in studying. Good luck with college man =)

No short cuts in life partner! You get what you earn. BUT....
What you need are EFFECTIVE study techniques so as to minimize your time and maximize your learning.
Learn to develop skimming or speed reading techniques
WRITE your study notes on Flash cards
READ into a tape recorder all your study notes (or directly from the book).
When you go shopping, READ your study notes.
When you drive, LISTEN to your tapes.
When you go to bed at night, put your head phones on and LISTEN to your tapes again.
Create ACRONYMS for difficult items to be memorized.
Partner, let me tell you what... Today I am a successful CPA. I did so late in life, working, studying, going to college, and supporting my wife and children. I did it from scratch, start to finish, (except for the first 2.5 years of college) in about 4 years. Honestly, life was very difficult during that time, so I wanted to get through it as fast as possible. I had to master the art of effective studying (I also have a terrible memory, to boot!)
I feel for you, and if you are interested, research my contact info. I have a few other "tricks" I would be willing to share. Heads up, though. what worked for me may or not work for you. Email me and I will send you study techniques I have developed from experience.

Don't take it too fast. Stay on campus to do your studying!! Outine your chapters (will help you figure out what's most important) and be sure to really read the definitions and captions.
