Study Tips

You may be having questions about how to get better grades, how to make your time more effective, how to get all the things done you need to, yet still do all the things you want to. Well, here are all the answers.
When should you study? Figure out the time that you are most alert, awake, and able to remember things. This puts the time you do have to good use. This is different for everyone, but I suggest not putting it off until 2:30 a.m.
Where should you study? Find a quiet well lit area, free of distractions in order to get as much stuff done as possible.
What should you study? It is extremely hard and takes up way too much valuable time to study and memorize everything. So pay attention in class to find out just the main points to review.
What is the easiest way to remember things? TAKE NOTES. Even if your teacher doesn’t require it, do it. Just writing things down helps you remember them 80% better. I also suggest making flash cards, highlighting main points, or just plain reviewing things (even just a little bit) at every possible point. Try these tips out to see which one works best for you.
How can you be organized? Forgetting where you put the assignment or when it’s due is the most common mistake a student makes. And this is also one of the biggest things to set back your grade. Make yourself a system. Whether it is color-coded or alphabetical, if you stick to it, it is practically fool-proof. Write things down, too, so you won’t forget.
How can you study effectively? Fuel up for studying with a quick snack before, then just follow the previous tips and you should be good.
How to set priorities? Do things that are due earlier first. If you know a project or paper is going to take up a lot of time. Split it up into steps and do one each night. That way it will turn out better than it would if you did it all the night before and hurried through it. Review a little each day to remember stuff easier. If you do this, studying for a test won’t be so hard or take so long.
If you’re like me and you need music to be on for you to work, then create a playlist or get a favorite CD. Just don’t YouTube, because then you’ll spend more time finding different songs then you will spend working.
Follow these guidelines in your studying and you’ll find that your grades get better, you feel like you have more time on your hands, and receive less stress from homework.
