"To study something important you must stay focused. Don't think,"Oh! I have to remember all of this!" Just read the assignment, and learn from it. You are more likely to remember something you understood and learned, then something you just tried to memorize word for word, without understanding itstudy us."

"I always create note cards when I do my research for writing a paper. I use index cards. On each note card I write the category of information, the information in a brief form, and the name of the book that had the information or the address of the website. If I get the information from a book (or maybe a journal), I write the page or page numbers. "

"I used to look for the easiest classes. But then our school counselor told me that you need to take hard classes if you're thinking about going to college. Taking easy classes will not prepare you."

"Before you start studying, eat, drink, and clear your mind from everything in this world that is not connected to your studying. Focus on your future goal, sit in a well lighted room ALONE, and always take a break after every 30 minutes of studying. Within the break, drink water, and if necessary take a 15 minute nap to clear your mind. Do not do any physical activities because all your blood will be concentrated on giving oxygen to your muscles instead of your brain. Always read the text as if it is talking to you."

"While studying you should concentrate on what you are studying. You should study in a room where there are no gadgets or things that might attract you from your studying. Start your reading at the beginning of what you have to read, not somewhere in between. If you do not start at the very beginning, you will not be able to understand."

"After reviewing notes right after class, write three new things you learned or became aware of, two of the most interesting things in the lecture/class discussion/on the board, and the thing that was most confusing. Remember, anything you do not understand or are not clear on, meet with the professor, or your tutor, or both. To organize your notes, use the column method: study usdraw a line down the page with the narrow side on the left and a very wide one on the right; put the subject, formula, or main idea on the left and the details, methods, experiments, history facts, English essay steps, etc. on the right."
