Tips for Effective Studying…

Study space…quiet and comfortable as possible. Avoid studying in

noisy places such as cafeterias, recreation rooms, or lounges.

Consistent place…furniture, light, temperature, well-known space

Assortment of needed items…Don't waste valuable

time looking for books, notes, of other information. After you have assembled the

items you need, put them where you can reach them easily.

Physical consideration…no less than 30-40 minutes after a

meal. Never study within 30 minutes of going to sleep.

13

Tips…

Prioritize! Make a list of what you intend to study, prioritize the list, and

stick to it!

Continuity… study no more than 30-40 minutes at a stretch. after a

period of study, take a break.

Rethink…use some break time to reflect, not constantly review what

you have just studied.

Classroom…distractions in the classroom are deadly. To help avoid

distractions, sit near the front of the class.

Note-taking…Think about what the teacher is saying BEFORE

writing down anything. Writing down each word is a WASTE OF TIME.

Ask…don't be afraid to ask the teacher if there is something you don't

understand. Most teachers will be glad to clarify for you.
