Remember:  “If you improve your study habits, improving your grades will be   easier…”

1.      Make a list.  It all starts with ‘planning’.  Make a list of all the things you have to do.  Break it down into smaller chunks.  Then check off your accomplishments as you go.

 2.      Do the hard stuff first…then the easy.  Put your energy into the harder assignments…when you have less energy or your brain is tired, you can then tackle the easier tasks.

 3.      Proper study space.  Make a place to study.  When you use the same place to study, day after day, your body becomes trained.  You will focus your concentration more quickly there.

4.      Snack.  Don’t try to study on an empty stomach.  If you’re hungry, you’ll be distracted.  So grab an apple or some carrot sticks.  Just avoid dairy products or turkey, which tend to be natural sedatives (make you sleepy).

5.      No distractions.  Turn off the stereo, TV or radio.  Silence is the best environment to study in.

6.      Study buddy.  Don’t overlook the value of a study partner.  Quiz each other, compare notes and practice testing.  You can also help one another from becoming bored.  But avoid distracting each other from what you are there to do.

 7.      Write it down.  Experts agree that the more senses you use to absorb information, the better you’ll remember it.  Don’t just read about what you’re trying to learn…write down a few of the key facts.

 8.      Rest.  Avoid mental or physical exhaustion.  Take short breaks during study sessions and get plenty of sleep once your studying is through.

 9.      Take the test.  Find out what kind of exam it will be…don’t panic.  Read your notes, practice your problems, then relax.  If you’ve done your best to study, you’ll do your best on the quiz or exam.

 10. Learn from your mistakes.  If you don’t achieve your grade goals, learn from it.  Review your incorrect answers.  Don’t be afraid to discuss your mistakes with your teachers and/or parents.  After all, learning is why you are in school.
