1. Set aside a regular time to study (at least 30 minutes a day during school) and study something.. even if you don’t have a regular homework assignment to complete … reading, practicing your mathematics, researching, etc…

2. Complete all of your homework assignments on time. Even if you make mistakes, be sure you’ve at least attempted to do every part of every assignment.

3. Analyze your work on completed and graded assignments and tests. Attend tutorials or hire a tutor to help you thoroughly understand what mistakes you are making if you are unable to figure out your mistakes by yourself.

4. Be on time to every class every day.. and do not be absent except in cases of emergency. If you are absent, get your assignments before you return to class and begin working on them. If you are absent and unable to get the assignments ahead of time, give yourself 24 hours after you return to get yourself caught up from your absence.

5. Prepare for every test. Spend at least an hour before every test looking over the materials that will be covered on the test. Perhaps you can work with classmates to form a study group. Read over the materials, practice your mathematics, memorize information that you know is going to be on the test. And, above all else, get a good night sleep and eat a good breakfast before each test.

You will discover that you’ll enjoy learning and enjoy school much more when these habits are established… so good luck.

when studying for a test or quiz, use memory tricks to help you remember the things. for foreign languages, i take apart the word, and the meaning and try to relate them together by how they sound or if there is another english word that is the same in both of them. for other subjects, i use everyday objects and people to remember things, by thier pesonality, looks, or for the objects, color or feel.

if you have to choose a book or person to research, choose something/someone that really interests you, instead of one that might be easier. you would then probably be able to get really into it, and do a better job.

WHAT smart students know

Have a nice day.
