"When studying have an objective for each study session. You must resolve not to stop until your target for the day has been reached. Within each session introduce a variety of different kind of tasks - spend some time reading, some writing, some on revision. Let your mind respond to variety which prevents it from becoming stale and keeps it alert."

"I'm taking Trigonometry now and it's hard. I study it every day with a friend in the same class. We work out the homework problems together - two heads are better than one. Uusually if one of us is stuck, the other gets it. It also makes it almost fun since we laugh a lot as we work. "

"When I come home after school I take a nap and
then I try to forget whatever wrong happened with me in school. I think healthy thoughts in my mind. This helps my concentration in my studies. Without concentration, study done is not effective."

"There is a tool called PerfectNotes. It's software you use on a laptop. It makes a recording of your lecture. While you're taking notes, you can create bookmarks for important points your teacher makes. After class, when you go back to flesh out your notes, you can easily find the recording for the part of your notes you are working on. Actually hearing the lecture again makes it easier to more accurately fill in your notes and make them more complete. Studying accurate information leads to much better results than trying to do it from memory."

"I'm a visual learner who has trouble remembering information. What helps for me is to draw a picture of something I have to remember. I try to make it kind of silly since this makes it easier for me to remember. I write the information that needs to be remembered at the bottom of the drawing."

"I am more likely to remember things that have been written. So what I do is make index cards or get flash cards. This helps me study a lot. And you can take the cards with you anywhere on the bus,train,and even for any of those free periods you have. Give it a try!"

"Study with a friend. But make sure you stay dedicated! It works because you're with somebody you enjoy being around. It's hard to study with a parent because they always want you to have it right, which isn't bad, but friends don't argue as much. "
