"I'm an auditory learner who can learn best when I listen to something. When I read textbooks, I have a small tape recorder and I record what I think is the most important information. Then I listen to it over and over. This helps me remember the information for when I have a test."

""When you go to study, read over the material several times. Read all of the notes you have taken within the same day. Try to repeat what you have read. Study for one subject, take a break, then go on to another.""

"Here is what I do when, for example, I study Human Resource Management. I use a size A4 sheet of paper (about US 8.5" by 11"). I write HRM in a circle in the center. Then I draw a line from the center for each chapter and write the name of the chapter on its line. Then for each chapter I draw 10 lines and write an important point on each. Then it's very easy to visualize the whole subject. "

"It is better to study a particular subject intensively in a day rather than studying up to five subjects in one day. Focusing on one subject at a time will enable you to cover more instead of putting too much stress on the brain. Secondly, if you study at night, avoid sitting in a very comfortable position, studying in bed, or lying face down."

"This is how I make sure I concentrate when I study. As soon as I sit to study, I draw a square on a sheet of white paper. I say to myself what I am going to do - read 30 pages for example. My mind does wander when I study. Every time it does, I put a dot in the square and write the thought that distracted me. I try to get less dots each time I study. "

"If I feel that I'm procrastinating too much, I just sit down, take some deep breaths, and begin to write a detailed schedule of what I'm going to do and when I'm going to do it. It helps a lot and after every task I feel satisfied once I cross it out as completed. Between long tasks I take a 5 minute break."
