"First of all, you have to read your lesson before your class. That will help you to know what you should listen for in class. Then, after the class, you have to underline the important things in your notes and textbook. "

"I ususally go over my notes and pull the ones that are really important. I rewrite them (I use abbreviations in class) and then pretend I am teaching someone else that same subject. If you like, you can ask people to listen to you. This way you get a revision, and then sometimes you can even expand on the idea, if you are really getting into it. Also, you can act as if you are reporting it to the country on your news channel or just use little pretend careers to memorize your notes."

"Taking notes is a art that should be mastered, as this has a lot to do with where the information is placed in your brain, either in your long-term memory or your short-term memory. When writing notes, make sure you write the notes in your own words. Writing notes (information) in your own format, rather than in the textbook format, will trigger your accessible long-term memory. This is because when your brain creates or recreates information, the information automatically enters your accessible long-term memory. "

"Understand what are you reading. Read carefully and think before you answer or write. Don't read just to read. You have to understand what you are reading. If you don't read the questions carefully, you are going to get them wrong. If you don't know a word, look at the sentence before the word to help you know the definition of the word."

"When in college or any level of school ,always maintain a schedule of upcomming assignments and tests for at least a week. Hang that schedule in the place where you study, for example, your study room. Draw little boxes beside each task. As you finish each task, mark those boxes with a tick or a cross indicating that you have successfully completed that job. For quizes and assignments, when you make a good grade on them, write your grade next to them with a happy face. This practice helps you stay organized and gives you enthusiasm and encouragement and motivates you to complete your work on time. "

"I am an overall A student who rarely gets C's. I do receive at least 2 B's in a report card, but the majority of my grades are A's. My study method involves a consistent rate of note taking in class, weekend study, adjusting my social time, lots of reading for literacy (30-45 mins per night), and the use of a variety of research resources and methods.

"My study tip is to focus on what you are doing, and don't be distracted by someone else when studying. I have my own time schedule. I know what I have to do at different times, so that way, I don't get confused with what I am doing. I study in a quiet room. There is no noise to distract me. Focus is the main thing. If you are not focused, stuff you are studying will not be absorbed by your brain."
