Study Tips

"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."

"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."

"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!"

"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."

"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. "

"The best way to learn is to help your fellow classmates, friends and siblings in their studies, especially if it is the same subject and/or topic. You will find new concepts you wouldn't have thought about before and that way you will do more research and will try to understand a topic more and in a better way."

"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! "

"A good study tip is to make flash cards. Just the fact that you have to rewrite your notes helps you study. I used to use this writing-down trick when I was learning my lines for a play. It always worked. Also flashcards are an excellent way to study because once you know most of them, you can subtract the ones you know. Then you can focus more intently on the things you don't know. I'm an LD Student and I have been getting excellent grades using this trick and many others."

"Look we all have to face it... It's hard to study sometimes. I personally think that it is easier to sit down on your floor with your textbook and your notes, put on some of your favorite music, close the shades, and read and review and keep doing that untill your done... I probably shoudn't tell you this but if you just pay attention in class and do all of your work you'll do just fine. Also, do all of your homework. I know I sound really boring but it really helps."

"Study during the evening between 6 and 9 and write down what you remember just before you go to sleep. In the morning when you wake up try to recall the information you studied the previous night. Then glance at what you wrote. In this way you will not forget what you studied. Practice and hard work gives better results. "

"Math has always been hard for me. I'm in algebra now. I'm real careful to copy down ALL the steps my teacher uses when she shows us how to solve a problem. Miss one step and you'll be lost later. Also, don't just try to memorize formulas. You have to understand them and practice using them."

"Here is how I deal with getting distracted during studying. A lot of times I think of ideas or other things to do. I just write them on a pad and go on studying. When I'm through I look at what I wrote. Some things I follow up on and others don't really seem important. Meanwhile, I've studied what I set out to study. "
