The key is to find a comfortable place and study there regularly, such as the kitchen table, a
desk, a favorite chair, bed, etc.

Study a little every night instead of
cramming late the night before the test. A
good night’s sleep helps. Bleary eyes and a
tired body do not.

Most students have an agenda book, but they don’t write anything in it. On Monday, write
down all of the week’s assignments. Most teachers have them posted in the classroom.

Keep papers separated by class with a binder. There should be a place for class
notes, handouts and homework assignments. Some of the larger binders can
accommodate all classes. It is really a matter of personal choice; just keep papers
separated by class.

Most students have many binders and folders, but they do not use them. Many
stuff every single paper from school into one binder. Half of their papers become
misplaced or lost. Do not use the “shove” method when papers are returned, i.e.
shove everything in one binder. Place them in the correct folder. If you are using a
three-ring binder to keep papers organized, take the time to open the metal
prongs and place them securely in it. If someone helps you organize your papers,
take the time to continue putting everything in its place.

On the front of a note card write the word or idea. On the back, write the definition or
important information. Have a friend or parent ask you about the word and/or provide a
definition. (Digital flashcards like Quizlet and Studystack can also be used.)

One great way to study is to make a list of the important information from a
chapter and write it in your own words. Copy down any words that are written in
bold or in italics. Look at chapter headings, section headings and review sections
at the end of a chapter for other important information to add to your study guide.
Merge this information with class notes.

10. SELECT A CONSISTENT PLACE TO STUDY Some people need total quiet while others can study well with music in the background. The key is to find a comfortable place and study there regularly, such as the kitchen table, a desk, a favorite chair, bed, etc.
DONT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE Study a little every night instead of cramming late the night before the test. A good night s sleep helps. Bleary eyes and a tired body do not.
BUY AN AGENDA BOOK AND USE IT Most students have an agenda book, but they don t write anything in it. On Monday, write down all of the week s assignments. Most teachers have them posted in the classroom.
DEDICATE A SPACE FOR EVERY CLASS IN YOUR BOOK BAG Keep papers separated by class with a binder. There should be a place for class notes, handouts and homework assignments. Some of the larger binders can accommodate all classes. It is really a matter of personal choice; just keep papers separated by class.
STAY ORGANIZED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR Most students have many binders and folders, but they do not use them. Many stuff every single paper from school into one binder. Half of their papers become misplaced or lost. Do not use the shove method when papers are returned, i.e. shove everything in one binder. Place them in the correct folder. If you are using a three-ring binder to keep papers organized, take the time to open the metal prongs and place them securely in it. If someone helps you organize your papers, take the time to continue putting everything in its place.
MAKE STUDY CARDS On the front of a note card write the word or idea. On the back, write the definition or important information. Have a friend or parent ask you about the word and/or provide a definition. (Digital flashcards like Quizlet and Studystack can also be used.)
