Study Tips
Here are two study tips from over 1,500 tips submitted by students and teachers
Make friends with the students who get high marks and also those who don't always get high marks but simply have the passion and desire to do their best. This will help you get in the right mindset for studying and help you to keep competitive! Remember,friends influence you greatly! If you don't wish to become their good friends , then at least meet them often and respect them!

SEE ALL STUDY TIPS
If you are studying for your final exam, what you have to do is sit somewhere comfy, and organize your stuff. Then get to studying. What you have to do is read over what you have over and over aloud. It works. If you are stressed, study for an hour or two straight and then take a 15-20 minute break and get back.

Having Materials Ready
Be proactive by placing all materials and supplies students need to do their work in bins that are easily accessible to them. Lessons can be disrupted if you have to continually stop to provide one or more students with the supplies and materials they need for the lesson or assignment.
End-of-Class Review Time
Try to leave a few minutes at the end of class for students to review their written notes and ask questions. During this time, students can also compare their notes with those of other students. This will help ensure that students have an accurate set of notes.
