GO TO CLASS...and write notes..even if it isnt good enough for you to study from..it helps u pay attention to every word..then read the lectures when u go home..it wont take long..i kno it sounds like too much work..but if u read the lecture on the same day..it'll take like 20 minutes..and itll take 15 20 min everytime u need to read it again..but if u dont read it on the same day..it'll take like 45 min to an hour to read it later..
the most imp thing is GO TO CLASS...
do all the "extra hw" if the prof gives u any...i dont mean assignments..but in my university they give us hw quesations..just for practice..
try to get into a study grp...and not just a bunch of strangers who happen to take the same classes...try and make it out of ur frndz and ur frndz' frndz..cause then ull all care about each other and will rlly help each other..
do NOT slack off...u slack off for 2 lectures..and ull find out ur fallin behind on everythin tryin 2 catch up...
and did i mention GOIN TO CLASS???
good luck =)

My strategy in college was to figure out the least amount of work I could to still get an A. Usually that involved making flashcards of some sort and studying about 15-20 hours for the final exam. That may sound like a lot, but the rest of the semester I was home-free. I always tried to do my best on papers, though. It definitely worked, too...I graduated Phi Beta Kappa, and I'm now a law student.

2 main ingredients here: work and attitude. There's no replacement for either. Granted, organization, determination, and strategizing based on the difficulty level of the various courses helps too. e.g. if one class is more stringent to earn an A and another a lot easier, spending more time on the former makes sense. Also, earn A's esp. in your major coursework. If you're planning on grad school, or professional school, earning A's will open doors and also form a basis for grad school (should you choose it). A's are good.

I always went to class and stayed awake. I found that to be the best method. Some people found the first part (the always going to class and STAYING AWAKE *grin* part) to be difficult so they had to do more of the second part (studying...). I hate to study, so I found every way to minimize that. I figured I spent enough time in class and college was meant for other things besides just school. That being said, some people have to study more, some have to have study groups, some have to have meticulous notes... Find what works for you and stick with it

Attend every class faithfully; take notes in each class. Review your notes and study nightly and on weekends. Keep up with the assigned reading and don't get behind. Resist the temptation to stay up and party and socialize. Start your papers as soon as they are assigned and work on them a bit each day. Begin reviewing for tests/exams well in advance. Have fun, enjoy learning, and watch those A's fill up your transcript.

Two things: go to class (no skipping!) and study outside of class. If you pay attention in class and do your homework, you will do well in the class.
Also, don't be afraid to ask questions! If you feel that you are not understanding something, go to office hours with your professor and ask questions. Or, if it's something like a math class and there are tutoring sessions available, that's another great place to ask questions.
You can also find classmates who will study with you. Other people in the same class are great to bounce ideas off of.
Good luck!

My methodology is simple. I study, study, study STUDY! I try to keep one lesson ahead in my classes that are difficult for me. (Math!) As for the easier classes, I try to stay at least one chapter ahead. I also go to tutorial sessions when I need help, I go to my professors office hours, and I see my academic advisors if I have any other questions.

Keep up on your studies, don't slack off. Have fun, BUT don't drink, it could cause TONS of problems!! Whatever you do don't study to hard because I think that would cause regrets!!
God Bless and Good Luck in college!!!!!!!!

Pay attention. Determine what is important to the teacher or prof. STUDY and give the teacher back what he / she wants.
