"If you take good notes then you can study your notes instead of the whole chapter in a book. Most likely everything you need to know for the test or quiz will be in the notes you take. You don't need to memorize the whole chapter Utilize the time you spend waiting for the bus for example to study or revise parts of a subject your studying. A smart way is to write important notes of a subject on small cards where you can keep them with you and whenever you are Just have a look at them. This will lock the information in your head."

"Students must study without distraction of mind. They must study a minimum of two hours to a maximum of four hours a day. They must make a habit of studying daily. They must have a definite place or a spot to study. Before studying they must meditate a minimum five minutes to maximum ten minutes. If they follow these suggestions, they will score very very good marks for sure. Try these and see the difference in you and your studies."

"1. Sleep at least 8 hours a day. 2. Your brain can't work for more than 4 hours a day, so don't exceed this or you will tire too much and you won't be able to study much the next day. 3. Put aside a time for yourself to practice your exam papers. 4. If you aren't used to studying for a long time without getting up after 10 minutes, don't push yourself to sit for an hour all of a sudden. Gradually work your way up, adding a few minutes every day. This way your body will get used to this easily."

"I study my lesson in a place where I can focus, a silent place. I go to a place like my school library. I make sure I undestand everything I wrote in my notebook, and I always review my notes. I keep on reviewing everytime I arrive in the house and when I have free time I also study. There's always a time for study. Just study hard - it's for your education."

"Study at least two weeks before the exam. Buy exercise books for all the subjects you are preparing for and for each topic. Create mindmaps -- they really help! I also suggest getting plenty of rest before the big day. If it's a high school maths exam, I suggest doing as many past papers and textbook work as possible. The more questions you do, the better you get."

"You should ALWAYS pay attention in class. You should watch and listen to what the teacher is saying. He/She might have that stuff on the test so you should have it written down. Look at what the teacher is writing on the chalkboard. That might have some important stuff on there too. You should write clearly so that you can read what you have written. If you are absent one day you should get the notes from a friend or someone in your class. And also if a FRIEND is absent you have to make excellent notes, have all of the details and stuff like that. So these are some tips that you should keep in mind."
