I remember things best by repeating them over and over in my head.
”“I like to study while eating food. I put on a scent. Before the test, I put on the same scent, and it helps me remember the information I studied by association. “
”My tip to you guys is to plan what you’re going to do when you study.
”Try study sheets. They are basically like a test only you can look back at the answers. Check them to make sure you are correct. And listen to music while you study and then go over the song in you head while you take the test.
”I study for tests before going to sleep so that it stays in my head for the test the next day.
”I usually try “playing teacher” by teaching my siblings or parents. Not only does it help me retain my knowledge, but it also helps me by getting input from those I’m teaching so I can learn more about the subject or correct my mistakes.
”Sometimes I will study in a room in which my parents or an adult are. Then I won’t have the urge to goof off and stop studying
”I Like to study in frequent short sessions rather than long sessions. If you study for too long a session it will be hard to remember everything.
”I make flash cards to help me remember important information. I use different color cards for each subject.
”Take frequent breaks and have a snack before working.
”Make sure no distractions are present where you study. What you are studying has to be the thing that gets your full attention.
”Take a few minutes and relax before you start to study. Make a mental note to sit yourself down and think positively.
”This is a trick I use when checking spelling in an essay I've written. I read it backward. I don't have to worry if it makes sense – all I'm doing is looking at the spelling of each word.
”1.Buy an extra notebook for each subject at the beginning of the year so that as you finish a chapter in class, you can immediately write notes and summaries in that book.
2. Record your notes on a digital voice recorder or another device (you can also use your phone), listen to them in your spare time, listen to them as you would an audio book, concentrate on the words and try to memorize them as you hear them.
Always concentrate in class! And take notes,read you textbook, do the study guide and TRY YOUR BEST!!!
”Always listen in class. Don’t always try to write down everything your teacher says. Write down only what is really important.
”Read your notes. The then sing a song to yourself. Then go back and see if you still know what’s in your notes. Go back over anything you don’t remember.
”It is important to read, but the most important thing is to study hard.
”Always aim for the Top!!!
Make your family an utmost inspiration to achieve your goals.
When you study, maybe if you like mints, you can have one or before you take a test. Treats like mints can help you relax so you remember things.
”Think of it this way. When you study, you are putting information in your brain.When you take the test, use that information from your brain to write it on the test.
”I like to use flashcards in order to study. I carry them everywhere and go over them until I know them all.
”Take good notes, do your research, and listen to music that relaxes you.
”I find that writing out notes makes it easier for me to understand them then reading them aloud over and over.
”First, find a peaceful place to study and while you are studying, make sure you have a glass of water as water is great for boosting memory power as well as a snack. If you sleep on the east side of your bed, you shall remember everything you have studied. Also, repeat whatever you have studied to yourself right before you go to sleep. Trust me, I have tried all these tips, and they work perfectly!
”I like to go outside and listen to music and just study. Fresh air really seems to help.
”The right position is important while studying. The way you sit matters a lot. Sit upright, do not be too relaxed as this might make you sleepy, do not lie on your bed because you will be too comfortable making you yield to the temptation of sleeping. Let your reading table be slightly below your chest.
”When studying for an online class, have lecture and reading windows open to utilize audio and visual learning styles together.
”Avoid catastrophic thinking. Instead of thinking, “I’m a mess, I’ll never have enough time to study for this exam,â€_x009d_ look at it like, “I may be a little late to study as much as I’d like, but since I’m doing it now, I’ll get most of it done.â€_x009d_
”Use flash cards and index cards to learn your notes better. When you are in a rush to get to a test, stay calm and think about something positive like what you are going to do for the summer.
”If you want your future to be bright, don’t just study hard. Also go to extra classes in subjects you have difficulty with.
”Use palm cards to review for a test. I usually write one fact and some extra information about the fact that I’ll probably need on each palm card. If I forget something, I write the same fact on a different card again, except with different extra information. It’s a lot like using flash cards, but I find it better because you’re writing as well – writing has actually been proven to help you retain information. So if you keep forgetting something, write it down!
”The best way for me to study is being in a quiet place and listening to music. It really helps when what you are studying is the only thing which is rolling in your head.. free up your mind for a while and only focus on your studies… it helps, try it.
”I meditate before I begin to study. Doing this reduces my stress and helps me to concentrate. I do best when my emotions are under control.
”As a dyslexic, I had to find my own ways to get to my goals. Never trying “just to study”, it helps to get out, exercise, go for a swim, and then back to schedule. I write notes, draw, listen to classical music. Internet resources and university retired professors are great sources of knowledge.
”Some of my friends cram the night before an exam. I do the very opposite. I do things to relax and then get a good night's sleep. I don't give any thought to the exam until the morning.
”Study before class, not during class, because class is for doing work, not studying. Studying is for before and after class. Also, don’t listen to metal or pop music, or anything with lyrics if you listen to music while you study. Listen to classical music, like piano pieces.
”Plan your whole week out day by day, and study notes again and again even if the test is not until next week. Listen to classical music. Follow your study time and avoid procrastinating. Ask your friends for help if you don’t understand the lesson. Eat healthy food while studying to reward yourself and don’t study just before bedtime.
”I study in my room away from noise. I can focus harder and think more clearly when I am alone. I take much better notes this way.
”The first thing I do when I take a math test is to write down all of the formulas. Then I can easily use them as I take the test. Nothing is worse than knowing how to solve a problem but forgetting the formula.
”Look new words over and then find a study partner. Have your partner say the words. You have to give the meanings and spell them right.
”Sometimes I find that I have forgotten something I had learned before. When this happens I go back to relearn it. I not only understand it better then, but I don't forget it again.
”Sit straight. This may sound a bit weird, but when you are sitting at the end of your chair and looming over a keyboard, you have less chance of being focused then if you were leaning against the back of your chair and sitting up straight.
”When studying, use the Pomodoro Technique. Study for 25 minutes and then relax for five minutes. You can take a short walk or watch tv. This technique allows you to maintain your concentration and be productive.
”I like to type my reading notes on my computer. I use the Times New Roman font because I read that it's the easiest and fasted font to read.
”If I just try to memorize things, I forget quickly. But if I make sure to understand them, I remember them for a long time.
”Here’s what I do if I start to nod off while studying. I chew gum. You can’t sleep while chewing gum.
”I found that I spent too much internet time at sites that were just for fun. This took away from the time I needed to study. So I did a simple thing – I blocked these sites.
”Flash cards can help you remember important facts. But they are boring to use. So I draw illustrations on flashcards I create. This makes them more fun and gets them me to look at them more often.
”I did my prerequisites at a community college. This saved me tons of money.
”Talk to to your teacher after school if you didn’t understand the lesson.
”I used to get to class early when we had an exam. Talking with the other students there got me nervous. What I do now is take a short walk to relax and then get to the class just as it starts.
”Avoid P and P: Procrastination and Panic.
”I record my professors' lectures in addition to writing careful notes. This gives me two ways to study for a test. Make sure first your professor is ok with you recording the lecture.
”Draw a scene about the information in a textbook chapter you are reading. It will help you to understand what you are reading perfectly.
”Make yourself mini-tests or have someone quiz you before you study so you know what you have to study extra hard.
”I take written notes in my classes. Then I make mind maps from my notes. This gives me two different ways to study for tests.
”Have someone quiz you on your study guide so you know that you remember the information correctly.
”When you get home and finish your homework and go to sit down and relax remember there is always something that you could do whether it is studying or even reading.
”It is important to write notes as you study a topic. It is just as important to read them after.
”I not only review the things I have learned. I also do research to learn more about them.
”I write the questions I have about what I read. I read again and then I quiz myself to see if I know the answers. The ones I still don’t know I take longer to study.
”I've read that Times New Roman is the fastest font to read. That's what I use when I type notes from my textbooks onto my computer. This allows me to study my notes more quickly.
”I listen to music and just sit in my room and study the notes I wrote down in class. I also use an IPad in class to record the lesson. I listen to it over and over.
”I make up practice tests when I study. I take these tests using the same time limit that I will have when I have to take the test in class.
”Get away from all the distractions. Find a place where there is no tv or a phone. Find a place that is right for you.
”I would make sure you have some snacks and some extra clothing layers in case you get cold. It’s hard to study well if you are hungry or cold.
”Take your time when studying because this is your time to shine.Think about something you like about what your are studying. Work out or take a snack break now or then. Never give up.
”“Focus on studying one thing at a time, and not how much studying you have to do.
”Wear some earbuds or headphones to block out all the noise so you’re not distracted and can only hear yourself think. You can even wear headphones over the wireless earbuds for extra silence.
”Ask friends to help you out whenever you are stuck. Join a study group in which everyone stays on task.

”What I like to do when studying is listen to music that has no singing. I work for 15 minutes on and 5 minutes off so I do not lose my focus.
”if you are a visual learner (like to learn by looking at things or colors), then make flash cards and highlight key words or terms.
”The sages say, “If you want to learn something well, teach it.” Teaching one’s peers helps a lot.
