Emma, Student, 7th Grade - Great Britain 04/25/2007
“When I want to study I say to myself, 'Mark, you don't want to be doing this ALL night.' I have ADD and it is hard to focus. Doing this reminds me of the reality of not focusing. You may want to try it. If you don't get it done, just be honest with your authority figure. They should or hopefully will understand and be human. We all have faults.”
Mark, Student, 10th Grade - California 04/05/2007

In case there is no time, I just read a few chapters one or two times.”

Also before a test or exam eat a healthy meal and get plenty of sleep the week of the test so your body is used to going to bed at a specific time. Follow these tips and good luck!”
Samantha, Student, 7th Grade - California 07/18/2007

I think of each task as a hurdle to jump over and think things like '5 more assignments till a bit of a break' to stay focused and work even harder on those 5 assignments. The idea of a break or another completed obstacle definitely helps me to stay focused and complete everything to the best of my ability.”

Well, it works for me and all my friends and all their friends. We do it together as a fun night out!”

“I'm going to give you the shortcut to good results - Read, Read, Read
(in a systematic way). This year I got super hit A plus and all I had to do was read. When you read, even if your mind is flying try to concentrate. Even if you find it hard to focus, just sit with your book. Eventually you'll find out that you are extremely attentive. Also, don't waste much time. It's very unwise.”
Justin, Student, 11th Grade - Bangladesh 08/30/2007

“Take the time you need when you do a test.”
Rob, Other, Info Needer - Illinois 10/25/2007

really fun way to study. It also can be a lot more fun than studying by
yourself.”
Holly, Student, 8th Grade - Missouri 04/12/2007
“Make flash cards . . . they help with EVERY subject! If you have a large pile, split them up into groups and study each group at a time. Then once all groups have been studied, practice the cards all together. Then separate the cards you properly know/understand from the ones that you still need to learn, and just focus on those. This way you make sure you know every one.”

If you use this tip it will seriously help you.”

“Be sure to read the textbooks and handouts.”
Ian, Student, LCCB 1st Yr - Philippines 10/12/2007
“I try to make sure that when I study I am away from the TV or any other distraction. Also studying on a bed is bad because it will make you feel sleepy and you'll probably doze off. Also try not to start studying in the last two weeks. Start studying from the beginning of the year. Studying 60-90 minutes a day and revising the day's work will help a lot.”
Wondin, Student, 9th Grade - Malta 06/18/2007
“The best time to study is in the night, so make sure you have a nap when you come home from school. Then in the night, when the place is cool and quiet, you can then concentrate soley on your work.

Travis, Student, High School - Trinidad and Tobago 08/29/2007

Margalyn, Student, 14th Year - Missouri 05/01/2007
“When you study a chapter for an exam, review it frequently until the time of the exam, even if the exam is a year away.

Guy, Student, 8th Grade - Texas 09/13/2007
“When it is time to study you need to turn off your cell phone or anything else. When you are studying, you need your own personal space and no one to interrupt you. For example, if one of your friends comes to your house asking if you can play, don't stop studying. Tell your friend 'No, I can't. I'm studying for a really important test. Talk to you later.' Tell your friends you are studying and need quiet time.”

Jazz, Student, 10th Grade - USA 07/08/2007
“You're smart, you're well-educated, but there's ALWAYS ways to improve. A good breakfast is one of the answers. Don't just snatch a chocolate bar or a drink can. Those who do that perform equivalent as average 70-year-olds. Plus, have a good sleep. You need some time to process - memories. Sure, you need to race time (to study), but stop once in a while. And I mean, ONCE IN A WHILE.”

Terry, Student, First Year - British Columbia, Canada 11/20/2007

“To study you have to concentrate on what you're doing and have soft music in the background. For me, to study I have to have medium type music because that's what I'm used to. Must people have different styles of studying! But really if you want to study you mostly have to get away from all the noise in the place/room you study and study in quiet.”

Tyronda, Student, College Freshman - Mississippi 08/30/2007

“Study hard! I write beautiful sentences, then select some of them and put them in my composition.”
Jinchao, Student, 5th Grade - China 05/29/2007
“Flashcards are the MOST effective way to study for most people. The repetition of the information helps you to recall, and allows you to pinpoint what you know and what you don't. It's a good idea to keep your flashcards even after the test is over. Just store them away in a safe place. You never know when you'll need them again, especially for finals.”
Dea, Student, 11th Grade - Florida 09/09/2007
“DO NOT LEAVE STUDYING UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE! I cannot stress that enough. I often leave studying until the the night before and I always get a lower then when I start studying a week before. My best study tip is to get on computer and type up all your notes, then print them and study from them. By doing all this you get a lot more information in your head.”
Sophie, Student, 9th Grade - Australia 06/20/2007

Rilwana, Student, Sec 1 - Malaysia 08/16/2007
“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.”
Nicole, Student, 7th Grade - USA 06/24/2007

“Pick up a pen in your hand and go word by word. This will increase your concentration. Read the topic 4 times. The 1st time you will only get an overview. The 2nd time you will be more familiar. The 3rd time you will be able to grasp the message of the topic. The 4th time you will be able to understand the topic as a whole. Now the topic is in your memory. This will work. JUST GO FOR IT.”
Dhiraj, Teacher, Masters - India 08/29/2007

Sima, Student - Great Britain 04/25/2007
“When you're about to take a test make sure you relax, take a deep breath, and remind yourself it is just a test and you have been doing it all year or month.

Mike, Student, 6th Grade - Nevada 11/28/2007

Nicola, Student, 7th Grade - NovaScotia, Canada 05/27/2007
“Don't study for a test or quiz at the very last minute. You don't learn and you forget a lot of the info you tried to cram. If the teacher assigns a test or quiz, immediately start studying. It will help a lot! Did you know that 1 out of 4 students cram until the last minute? If you don't cram, you will find yourself knowing the information, and not just memorizing.”
Fred, Teacher, 10th Grade Social Studies - Australia 09/15/2007

Katherine, Student, 9th Grade - NewBrunswick, Canada 08/16/2007

Especially when you are in Junior or Senior High! Now you can get your homework on time and not get in trouble.”
Nathanial, Student, Grade 8 - Canada 09/02/2007
“Go to the library, pick up a book, and read.”
Stephen, Student, 6th Grade - Louisiana 04/20/2007
“I am only in year eight and have school every single day of the week. This means more homework than I can handle. My tip is practice, practice, practice, and more PRACTICE, trying to avoid TV and the computer. Buy books or ask for extra tutoring. It really helped me and I improved a lot. So just sit down and do work, work, WORK. If you are on holiday you might as well work too. But try to eat healthy and become active to have the strength to do the impossible!”
Maria, Student, 8th Grade - Australia 04/17/2007

“If you need to memorize a lot of vocabulary words in a short amount of time, make flashcards. Read the definition lots of times so it sticks. Then mix all of them up. Its a great way to study for finals!”

“If there are too many distractions at home, go to your city library. When you are in the library, use ear plugs to block out sound when studying by yourself. This will increase your concentration and you will not be frustrated when people are talking aloud.”

“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.”

“I am a very visual person and when I decided to go back to school, I
wanted anything I knew I would go back to often to be easily accessible. I found colored adhesive tabs for all of my books, including my notes that I could label in my words and get to easily during class and during tests. It has helped me tremendously.”

“Build a study base of your own references. Make your own reference and use a notebook you can share with your friends. It is easy to go through these before an exam starts.”

“When writing a research paper, it is always best to have a large flat
surface to work on so that you can spread out your sources. The kitchen table works well for this. Also, book stands (like cookbook stands) are great for holding up large textbooks while reading or studying. That will save your neck and back from a lot of pain.”
Rose, Student, Graduate School UCLA - California 03/31/2007
“Use colour! Different colours for different points and stuff like that. Colour makes things stand out so they're easier 2 remember! Also draw pictures. Use certain pictures for certain points etc. Be creative, make it as fun as you can.”
