Answer 1

Find a time to study when you are the most alert, whether it's early in the morning, late afternoon, or late at night. Limit your intake of caffeine and chocolate which can cloud your brain, jumble your thoughts, and make it difficult to concentrate. Eliminate distractions around you by turning the ringer off on the phone (and the cell phone), shutting the computer off (unless you are using it for studying), turning the television off, and turning the radio off or to soothing music that doesn't have a lot of words to it (brass and harp music works well), of course silence is golden while studying. Make a time each day for studying. Let your friends and family know what time period you use to study and that the time period is non negotiable except in the case of an emergency. Work on the most challenging subjects first, and then work on the second most challenging subject, and so on and so forth. Work on the easiest subject last, which you can "breeze thru". Study in a comfortable place, with a comfortable chair. Don't study in bed. Study in a well lit place, away from your "play" areas. Take notes while you read anything, or record comments into a tape recorder. Review your notes from the previous material before starting on new material. Study in small blocks of time 30-45 minutes, take a break for 15 minutes, and then study for another block of 30-45 minutes. You get more done when you take breaks. Use those breaks to do some stretching exercises, or to get up and move around. Try to limit eating heavy foods that will make you tired during breaks.

Effective studying depends on three things: time, consistancy, and organization.

Time is the absolute first priority--you must put in the hours. And that also meansit must be quality time. do whatever you need toremove distractions. That may mean closing the door to your room or finding a quiet place in the school library. Some people study well with background nois (e.g., music)--as I do. Others need silence. But the point is that your time studying is real time.

Consistancy. That means pretty much what it says--you can't study effectively if you don't do it regularly. But it implies a bit more. To be consistant, you need to sit down most every day for several hours--and don't try to cram everything into a couple of days.

Organization. And more organization. This should begin BEFORE the first day of class. Find out who your teachers are--what books they are using. And USE the syllabus. By the time your first week of the term you should have a chart with every due date o fevery assignment and test--and a rough study schedule keyed to that. Identify research assignments and start on them--at least to the extent of finding a topic--that first work.

To stay o rganized--and adjust to all the little unexpected things that will happen--the FIRST thing you should do every morning ismake a list of what you need to do that day--both studying and other tasks--try to keep your daily plan as flexible as possible.

And keep up your reading. This is where consistancy comes in--read every day. If you are caught up and have time, read ahead.

finally--your school will have programs that can help you develop study skills. These are services that are free and are there to help you. Go to your academic counsellor and find out how to contect the right people. there are also tutoring programs, etc. Most students never take advantage of these resources--but they are there for you if you have the sense to use them.

I'm not talking through the top of my head--I graduated summa *** laude. I'll add just one more thing: Start every class and every semester with the expectation that you can make straight A's. Set your standards that high--not to beat yourself over the head if you don't quite make it--but to avoid selling yourself short. If you start expecting B's and C's, you may get them. But I'll guarantee you won't make A's--you've beaten yourself before you ever walk into the classroom.

Answer 3

A good idea is to think of what you are trying to accomplish. How your instructor wants you to "prove" what you have learned should determine how you will study. For example, if you know you will have to write essay questions, you will need to understand theories and concepts, for that I would do a lot of mental essays, thinking of various topics and what I know about them. If I find I am lacking knowledge in a certain area, that is what I focus on.

Answer 4

read, read,read! ASK questions to youreslf as you read to make sure you're understanding! Test yourself aftre you read. Make notecards fror stuff you don't nknow, but have to. Ask your professor if none of this works. Go online, and research the topic you are studying. Often you can find little lesson plans, or online worksheets from teachers areound the country, that could help

Answer 5

Basicly, come to class and listen lecture. Ask if you don't understand. Review it when you have time. It's an idea: record lecture in class and put it into you mp3 player or Ipod. You can listen all the time and remember it. Good luck!!!

Answer 6

read your books intensely. underline or highlight any important info for tests and quizzes. have a study buddy or group to make it more fun and easy. use note cards to write down important info so you don't have to memorize anything unnecessary.

Answer 7

Biggest mistake---asking for someone else on how YOU can study. You make a timetable for yoursef and follow it. Give more time for you weak subjects and less for the strong ones. FOLLOW THIS VERY STRICTLY. you can do it, don't worry. have confidence in yourself.

Answer 8

Prepare a time frame to spend in each subject and stick to it.

Answer 9

Have you considered spending less time online and more time reading? That will definitely help you. Good Luck=)

Answer 10

stay focused.
