Answer 1

First of all, before you get to the studying part, your preperation and participation in class will be a big factor in how you study.

For example, when taking notes based off of lectures, don't try to write everything down word for word. You'll get bogged down, won't get the concepts because you are so focused on the individual words that you miss the point, and you'll hold up the class while asking for repeats. Do, however, listen to the complete concept of each point, and summarize it in your notes in your own words. Also, leave a good couple of empty lines between important concepts. If you have huge blocks of text, you will get bogged down very quickly when you try and study.

If you don't understand something, raise your hand and ask. You might get teased by your friends if you are still in high school, but if doing well is as important to you as it sounds, than you will do it anyway. Try and answer questions, and engage in dialogue if the class emphasizes class discussion.

As soon as you can after your class. Spend 30 minutes going over the notes you took and reviewing them. This will help keep them alive in your mind, and is most important. It will greatly help in retrieval down the road.

When you need to read academic material for class (this probably wouldn't work so well with works of fiction, begin by scanning through the topical headings for the readings (if there are any), chapter titles..etc. And then jot down what you think the primary concepts in the reading will be.

Read through the text once. Not for detail, but for the overall concepts, if you get mired down and don't understand something, simply mark it to come back to.

Then, read it again, this time for detail. After every paragraph, question yourself as to what you just read. Make sure that you can summarize it and understand it. If you can't, simply mark it and bring it to your teacher/ professor as soon as possible and ask for an explanation.

Then write down what you think now were the important points and concepts. Check it with your first, and see if they are differrent, or how your understanding might have been expanded.

Then write down any questions you still have on the material, and any questions you have based on extrapolations of the material. What are the ramifications of the material in the real world. What does the reading suggest to you?

When you need to memorize, use a mnemonic device. Draw a funny picture with the info and vizualize it. Write down individual bits of information on notecards and make flashcards for yourself.

Also, like practicing musicians, people studying NEED breaks. I would recommend 10 minutes (at least) of break after 45 minutes of study. You need to exercise will and discipline to go back to studying. Knowing that you will have a regularly planned break might make it easier.

Also, try studying in a pretty spot outside if you can, it makes it nicer and the fresh air helps keep you awake. Otherwise, make sure that you are not trying to study in bed, that will result in sleep faster than you can say "Pre-calc" and also be sure that you are not near the internet, video games, favorite books, television, or other things that will constantly tempt you away from study.

Eris, the main important dwarf planet prevalent, replaced into stumbled on in an ongoing survey at Palomar Observatory's Samuel Oschin telescope by using astronomers Mike Brown (Caltech), Chad Trujillo (Gemini Observatory), and David Rabinowitz (Yale college). We formally pronounced the call on 6 September 2006, and it replaced into standard and introduced on 13 September 2006.

Answer 3

I find reading the review and notes outloud to myself help and also rewriting them down.

no TV, radio or freinds, they are just a distraction to me.

I do think that most of my time learning the material is by paying attenetion in class.
