"I tell my students not to get what I like to call Highlighter Happy. Students are trying to highlight all of the important information and by the time they are through with their assignment, they have highlighted the entire assignment and missed all of the important items they really needed! Leave the highlighter in your bookbag and underline the information you need. If the info is important enough anyway, the teacher will gladly repeat the info."

"This may sould really dumb, but when you study it is good to make notes into a song. This will be just like memorizing your favorite song on the radio. You can sing it to yourself during a test or quiz. Trust me, it will help. It helps me! Thank you, and happy studying!"

Take down notes while your teacher is discussing. 6. Manage your time wisely. 7. Get lots of sleep. You'll just have to look at the results when you do all these!"

"I advise you to drink a lot of water while studying. If you write with your right hand then close the left one and you will realize something magical. Another thing is to have a good night's sleep. Don't study after eating directly. After studying, watch TV for about 30 minutes and then say the information without looking at your notes."

"The best way that I study is to get the general idea of what is covered on the test and then go through my notes and highlight the things that look like they'll help me the most on the test. I focus on that. It works for me and it is the best way to study without taking your whole night."

"When I study I talk to myself. This seems pretty weird but it actually works. I talk really loud and ask myself questions such as "Do you know what year military leader Wolfe died?" I know the answer and I say this in a game show host's voice. You will quite enjoy doing this. If you are studying for vocabulary words, go on the Internet and make your own crossword puzzle using the word or ask a friend to make one for you."

"Being an amazing academic decathlete, I've noticed that the greatest way to remember a TON of information is to outline it over and over again. I outlined a 186 page packet 6 times before I competed in Regionals, and by the 6th time, I already knew everything in the entire packet."
