"I study for exams to be prepared. Skimming and scanning my reading notes makes it easier to remember. I make sure I keep a dictionary handy when I read. Then I can look up the meaning of any word I don't know."

"We should always start our work (studying) with some positive self talk. By doing this our mind will set itself to accomplish the given task. When we start with a negative set our mind makes itself weaken and tries not to complete the given task."

"When I study I wait after I eat at least one hour so I won't get sleepy and I will have time to walk and sit and think about what I have read so that way I can fit it all together. As I start on a new day I look at things like "The Little Train that Could" and I am the little train. You have to have a postive outlook on what you do in life to be all you can be."

"I enjoy studying with my friends or a study group a few weeks before a test. It helps you to share and collect new information or any notes that you missed.We also discuss the topics that we feel are hard to master. A couple of days before the test, I review all the notes from my teachers or friends. It helps me a lot!"

"Studying is important. But school shouldn't be all work and no play. Spend some time in extracurricular activities. I play in the school band and it is a welcome break. Then I feel better when I go back to studying."

"Stay positive when the teacher hands you back a test which isn't at a high standard. Look at the things you got right and not the things you got wrong. You can do this also when you hand up a test that you feel didn't go as good as it should. Here in Ireland, our head mistress makes sure we stay positive and of course focused on our work. Don't forget to study though! Think of it this way - without learning, you have nothing to write down on the page!"
