1. Set goals.
It’s difficult to arrive at a final destination when you’re unsure of
what it is and how to get there. Develop a roadmap for reaching your
educational goals.
2. Use an appointment book.
It’s easy to forget assignment due dates, test days, and other important
information when it’s not written down, especially when you’re focused
on your studies.
3. Know your learning style.
Develop strategies for overcoming learning differences when instructors employ contradictory teaching methods.
4. Be an active reader.
You’ll better retain information from the textbook if you practice active reading.
5. Participate in study groups.
Organize study groups with other classmates. It’s easier to remember
concepts taught to others, and group members often share insights you
never consider.
6. Take notes.
Take organized notes. If it’s useful, develop outlines, highlight key
information, or utilize other methods to organize lecture notes.
7. Organize your study materials.
Organize notes, assigned readings, and other study materials, so it can be easily retrieved while studying.
8. Draft papers.
Always write a rough draft when preparing an essay. Take time to review
it for incompleteness and errors and ask the instructor or a classmate
to read it and offer advice.
9. Slow down on tests.
It’s common to misunderstand questions or skip key information when nervous. Take time to thoroughly read test questions.
10. Don’t replace protein with caffeine.
Before a test, avoid consuming caffeine. Instead, eat foods high in complex carbohydrates and protein.
