Answer 1

although studying styles will vary, the obvious and most common tip is "time management."

To this effectively, you'll need to:

(1)prioritize and plan your activities: do and finish what needs to be done and what is due first. but don't wait until you finish your first task to start another homework or subject. if you are "stuck" in a subject/homework, set up/plan for a time to seek help

(2) to be effecient: one good way of efficient to divide up the homework for the different school subjects into small tasks...do a little bit at a time, everyday or every other day or so. if you need to study for an exam, for instance, and you have days before the exam, it's best to spend just a little bit time everyday, studying gradually rather than trying to study for the exam in one day or in even 2-3 days. by dividing up tasks (especially in studying) you give your mind more time to organize thought and learning patterns. this is important for test preparation, b/c information gathered through straight memorization is not the only information that will be tested. you are very likely to be tested on application of concepts, rules, etc that you have learned. so you need time to think how these principles apply to the lessons given by the instructor. that time is afforded by earlier starts in home

(3) depending on your time management, you may want to focus more time on more difficult subjects, deciding to schedule more easier homework/studying later. Or you may want to do the opposite: focus on "knocking out" (completing) the easier studying/homework first. In either case, you can't afford most of the time to focus too much on one subject/homework at the expense of the others.

(4).finally, start as early as you can. though many of us do it, it's still not best to leave things until the last min. doing things earlier should give you more time to work and reflect on what your working at. in this way, you are better able to catch mistakes or correct incorrect notions/understandings more easily and more earlier than before.

These are some points to get you started. I hope this helps!!!!

First of all, calm down. It is proven that so much studying can hurt you not help you. Study when you have a test for half an hour and then get up and get a snack, or excercise, watch some TV... then come back to your work. Do this a lot and give the material time to sink in. Study somewhere that isn't too distracting (not by a window) and make sure it's quiet. Study in the same time and place everyday somehow. Flashcards are fun and also have fun with it. When I was in high school I'd used to make a rhyme or song with whatever I was studying.

Memory is a tricky thing and that's the whole point of studying right? Unless you give your brain a reason to remember it, you will forget it in a day. It has to stand out to you. This may sound weird but when I told myself to remember to bring something to school the next day such as money for a trip I would do a little dance and sing it to myself. I definitely remember it then. Also tricks like aliteration, acronyms, writing it over and over, making charts and such helps. Good luck!

1. Prioritize. Make a list for 5 mins before you start the day and at the very end of the day. Make realistic goals.
2. FOCUS. Focus hard on what you have to do, block out all distractions. Get rid of all that junk on your desk and have a clear, clean, quiet area to work.
3. This goes with #2 on the list: take breaks. A 10 minute break every 50 minutes will allow you to stay focused but keep this time on a short leash so to speak.
4. Review what you have learned. Never go over anything just once. Understand it completely, think about the implications. How does it all fit into everything.
5. JUST START. Start as soon as you can if you're dreading it and thinking to yourself how you don't want to start, just go for 5 minutes and by that time you will keep going because you will have the momentum.
6. Keep track of things you do not understand write them down every single day on a piece of paper. Ask your prof or find the answers as soon as possible and jot down the answers on the same sheet. When it comes time to study for the test make sure you review this sheet a few times in addition to everything else.
7. Reshuffle. It makes absolutely zero sense to me why you would come home, eat for 2 hours, then leave and go to the gym and then come home and study. If it was me I would either go to the gym before class (ie. 7am-8am) then come home and eat while studying. That will net you at LEAST an extra 3 hours of study time. 3 hours every day. Think about it. You may be going to bed a bit earlier each night but your marks will improve.

Answer 4

I have had the same problems as you. My biggest tip is that when studying for a test, do NOT use the " stare at it meathod" if it is a very important exam or test, do something that will keep your mind interested... or at least awake. lol. I choose to do flash cards on the important parts of the material, or matching games. It sounds like you have a very heavy schedule on your hands. Do you have study hall? If you do make sure you use that time wisely. Maybe if you can, change your work out schedule or shorten your time and spread your workout times throughout your day ( morning, lunch period, night) I hope this helps you. Sorry I could not give more advise :)

Answer 5

First, what i've discovered helps is time management. It sounds like you have more than a couple classes, so it's good to set a schedule to allow time to study what you need to. Keep a clock close by so you can stick to the schedule.

Second, eliminate distractions. Make sure the TV is off, tell anyone who might bother you that you're studying. I don't even listen to music if i've got a test coming up.

Third, especially for tests, organize what you need to know, and make a Word document that states the gists of topics. As you study, you can go over the list to make sure you can explain in sufficient detail every item on that list.

That's all I got for now, hope it helps!

Answer 6

Don't study for long amounts of time. Or if you do , for every 50 minutes make sure you take a 15 minute break. You should eat well to keep your energy up. Study the hardest subject first. And read over your notes often. I used to read my notes from start to finish each day. It was alot by the end of the year but than again i had a good idea of what the information from the first of the notes were so i more or less skimmed them.

good luck

Answer 7

1] do or start all assignments the day you get them.
2] divide projects into a time line the day assigned: subject, research, outline, rough draft, second draft, final product.
3] write down everything instructor puts on the board, and everything says is important
4] do and finish all assignments
5] if there is a word you don't understand, look it up, and write it down.
6] if there is a subject you don't understand, outline it - looking it up AND writing it down will use two different learning skills, so you will retain it better.
7] review or do homework in each subject for 30 minutes, every day, FOREVER in every class you take [ even Lamaze ]. Then you will retain subject material for quizzes, tests, and class work.
8] Before test: review all notes, and anything written down from reading. Ideally, review everything at least three times.
Scan text for items not covered in class
a] eat well night before, and eat a good breakfast
b] get a good night's sleep
c] lay out clothes, supplies, so you are not stressed in AM

Answer 8

A lot of the time when you encounter difficulty with a subject it is because you missed or did not understand a previous days lesson, or something from last year. Recommend that you take the opportunity to review past chapters on a regular basis. Believe it or not, just paging through the past lessons will help significantly.

Answer 9

study group help A LOT if you get hard working people and who actually came to accomplish something.. if they kids arent motivated, forget it.. ive done both and i promise study groups work. but for everyday studying, things i find most helpful are convincing yourself your going to be working hard. dont plop on your bed with music blaring (been there, done that) sit in a chair at a table with your work spread out and maybe even set up a candle or something if you have a hard time concentrating. give yourself breaks too. after 30-45 minutes of good study time, take a 5 minute break to keep your thoughts straight. hope i helped :)

Answer 10

You might try cracking open an English book. There are these new symbols called punctuation marks, which make reading a passage much simpler. I won't guarantee you will do better in any of your subjects, but at least if you learn how to use some semblance of grammar, people might have a clue to the points to which you are trying to make.
