"Our brain operates with five different waves 1.Gamma 2.Beta 3.Alpha 4.Theta 5.Delta It is best to bring ourselves down to the Alpha level before studying by relaxation. The Alpha level is just above our subconscious. At that time there will be no limits to how much we are able to absorb."

"Get enough sleep at night. It's harder to concentrate when you get less than six hours of sleep the night before a test."

"Relax and go to a quiet place where you will be alone. You can read things aloud to yourself, or if you have to memorize something, write it down over and over until you have it 'written' in your brain."

"Never be afraid to ask for help from teachers. When you're in high school try to take courses that challenge you, and stick to those courses and try hard to get good grades in them. You can earn college credit and even gain a better understanding of materials for college students and be ahead of the game."

"I unfortunately am a procrastinator, which I know does not help. I usually get a study guide or similar form of the test to study or possibly complete for extra credit. If your teacher issues these please complete them. When I do not receive a study guide, I create one of my own with my own notes. Also if you are studying for a science test, apply what you are learning to your own life. Especially biology. When studying for a memory test or memory verse, take it one verse or sentence at a time, repeating each verse several times before learning the next one. This helps me a lot with my memory verses. Take one or more days for each verse."

"Homework comes before TV or play for my kids. I do let them watch tv or play outside for an hour when they get home from school, but then it's schoolwork time. They are used to this and it works - they get good grades. Oh - they're in fourth and sixth grade."

"I have my students write a list of what they have to do in school every night. They cross out things when they do them. This helps them with planning and organization and just takes a few minutes."

"Fortitude is necessary. Do not give up. Keep working until you get it or ask for help. My education is my key to a good life as a professional. I stay well fed and get good sleep so I can be attentive in class and when I work at home."
