9 TIPS TO STUDY

1. GO TO CLASS!

Do not cut class and try to teach yourself. The last five weeks of the semester are when the most important course work is taught.

2. KNOW YOUR PROFESSORS.

Review the course outline and refer to it periodically to make sure you are on track.

3. HAVE REGULAR STUDY SESSIONS.

The best way to learn is to rehearse on a regular basis. Set aside a time to review so you do not forget to review the material.

4. BE PRACTICAL.

Decide how much time you really want to study and divide it among your classes.

5. STUDY BRIEFLY AND FREQUENTLY.

Frequent repetition is better for your memory than overloading your brain all at once.

6. STUDY WHEN YOU ARE ALERT.

Most people work best in the daylight so use the hours between classes and other times during the day wisely. 

7. STUDY YOUR MOST DIFFICULT CLASSES FIRST.

You are most alert when you first sit down to study, so it will be easier to learn the hard stuff first.

8. TREAT YOURSELF.

When you complete your work, reward yourself with something simple like a magazine, TV, or a movie.

9. STAY ORGANIZED.

Do not let work pile up because it can become an overwhelming task.

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!
