Study Tips

“Regular study is most important for a better result.”

“Stay focused and participate in all labs, class discussions. Ask lots of questions and don't fall behind on assignments, keep it up and in no time you'll be achieving your new opportunity in life helping other's.”

“My tip is to listen to teachers. Teachers let slip a lot of extra information, and sometimes listening to someone explain something is easier than reading a textbook. You'll probably understand better and faster. If the teacher uses slides and lecture, then all the better. Listening to someone and seeing the information they are giving you at the same time is a great way to remember information better, especially if the slides are well-organized.”

“If you feel unmotivated to study, you should try to tell yourself that you will only do that particular activity for 2 minutes (or 5-25mins) and then continue on as it is just starting that is difficult. Or if you are in a motivational runt to study, you should also try something that boosts your mind such as you are prepared. For example you could eat a light snack with glucose (it helps with brain function) or a math problem (as it helps with giving you momentum).”

“I work in 30 to 45 minute increments and then take a 10 minute break – study for any longer and I no longer absorb information. It's necessary to relax as otherwise I'm just wasting my time. I recommend finding a study length time that works for you and sticking to it. Don't try to exceed the amount of time because you won't get anything done!”

“Don't pressure yourself! Try to stay calm and take breaks often. Listen to some music, make a snack, go online… whatever relaxes you after an intense study session.”

“Have your own work space or place to study. Make sure its quiet and nothing around you is distracting you.”

“Study while you're in a good mood! I find that positive emotions will help a phrase or a part of my notes that I need to memorize stick much better in the long run.”

“My study tip is to have a clear mind and calm music on while studying.”

“Find a place that allows you to zone out or disconnect from everyone around you so that you can concentrate on your school work.”

“Study while you are motivated to study. I find that studying while actually wanting to study is very helpful since you feel like you're getting something done. It also doesn't hurt to turn on some music and throw in some snacks. Just don't get to distracted.”

“I find taking notes during the lectures helps me to visualize and learn while looking at the words.”

“When you are in a test get a separate piece of paper and write down everything you remember from that unit. It's like your own cheat sheet!!”

“The best way to make your mood for the study is to make your study interesting. Once you'll enjoy your study then you don't need to escape from it.”

“When you are not in the mood for studying, don't force yourself. Listen to some piano, music or do something you enjoy. When you are distracted easily while studying, put on your headphones and listen to calm music which you completely don't know (or you will be distracted again by your favourite music).”

“Record yourself reading your chapter or notes out loud, then play the recording back to you while you are exercising, cleaning, etc.. I find it works better if I try speaking with the recording like if you were singing a good song or repeating a movie line.”

“Make sure to have a clean, organized study space where your can study and do homework.”

“Nothing comes free in life. You have to work hard ad study A LOT if you are looking for a great grade. Also, keep your locker organized so you can keep track of all of your stuff.”

“When you studying, you can write down all posible questions from the notes you reading.”

“Study in a well lite room, quiet and comfortable, with breaks taken frequently.”

“Mentally prepare yourself beforehand so when you start you are not stressing over tedious, trivial things.”

“Don't study all in one go for every 30 min take a 5 min break.”

“write down all tasks when you start to study and make a plan. try to clean your learning space and there only a table and a time tracker in my learning place.”

“Stay patient and never give up, and believe in yourself!”

“If you are taking big tests like the MSA or HSA, it's important to stay calm and not freak out. Make no stray marks on your test. Do not cheat or lie about cheating.”

“I study EVERYDAY for about an hour and a half. This helps me a lot, it helps me retrace the steps I took when I wrote my notes. That is a big chunk of the reason why I'm an 'A' student. If you stay smart and take your time, you will have an 'A' grade within a semester.”

“I find it easier if you spread out your studying. You can never start studying too early!”

“I study in a place that makes me feel at peace such as my sun porch or in a church. Sitting on the grass and putting a blanket on the nice warm grass, I get lots of reading done. Studying this way is peaceful and quiet, and nature has a way of making you feel good.”

“I have taken many tests and here is a trick with word problems. Do not just add all the numbers up. You have to really read the problem. If you do not understand it the first time, read it over and over until you understand it.”

“When writing a research paper, it is always best to have a large flat surface to work on so that you can spread out your sources. The kitchen table works well for this. Also, book stands (like cookbook stands) are great for holding up large textbooks while reading or studying.”

“To do well in every exam, the most important thing is to study regularly. It's not hard to do well if you study regularly, but you must remember to (1) not do anything entertaining within 30 minutes from starting to study; (2) read problems intensively; (3) note down any problems you have while reading; and (4) fill sheets of paper with things you often forget and read these before the exam.”

“Always try to read in a comfortable place. If you read in a uncomfortable place you'll lose attention and that won't help you study. While taking notes choose a big table. I myself use a computer table with big space and shelves. Play music if it helps you to concentrate but not on high volume.”

“Patience and perseverance are the essentials for success in an examination.”

“When taking a test: 1. Review the entire test looking to see how many points each problem is worth. 2. Begin each problem: a. Read it fully without writing anything down. b. Highlight key information. c. Write down key information. d. Begin to solve the problem. e. Move on if you struggle at all. f. Check time and move swiftly. 3. Review the test and make sure you put your name on it.”

“When you study, try to study in a place where you won't get distracted by things like a TV, phones, or a computer (unless you need to use the computer to study). If you do use a computer for studying, DON'T LOSE FOCUS.”

“When you study a chapter for an exam, review it frequently until the time of the exam, even if the exam is a year away. You don't need to review the whole chapter, but you can review only the skeleton of the chapter. Use mnemonics to remember information presented in the form of numbers and other difficult information you frequently forget.”

“Study in a quiet place.”
