Before you even begin to think about the process of studying, you must develop a schedule. If you don't have a schedule or plan for studying, then you will not have any way of allocating your valuable time when the unexpected comes up. A good, well thought out schedule can be a lifesaver. It's up to you to learn how develop a schedule that meets your needs, revise it if necessary, and most important, follow it. The problem of when to study is critical. A good rule of thumb is that studying should be carried out only when you are rested, alert, and have planned for it. Last minute studying just before a class is usually a waste of time. If your schedule doesn't work, revise it. Time is the most valuable resource a student has. It is also one of the most wasted of resources. The schedule you develop should guide you in how to allocate the available time in the most productive manner. Sticking to your schedule can be tough. Don't dribble away valuable time. Avoiding study is the easiest thing in the world. It's up to you to follow the schedule you prepared. A good deal of your success in high school or college depends on this simple truth. You can study anywhere. Obviously, some places are better than others. Libraries, study lounges or private rooms are best. Above all, the place you choose to study should not be distracting. Distractions can build up, and the first thing you know, you're out of time and out of luck. Make choosing a good physical environment a part of your study. Extracting important details means that you locate in your reading the basis for main ideas. There is usually one important detail associated with every main idea. The more important details you can identify, the easier it will be to review for examinations because you have made a link between an idea and information that supports it. The more links you can make between details and ideas, as well as ideas themselves, the more powerful will be the efforts of your study.

Hope this helps! :D

Here are some study suggestions:



1. Have all of your materials ready and in the place that you are going to study.



3. Study when its quiet. No music, no TV, No headphones, no nothing.



4. Do your most difficult subject fist or else you may never get to it.



5. Keep a calendar so that you know when a project is due or a test is going to be given.



6. Vocabulary is very important. Words have different meanings. You need to know the meaning for the subject that you are taking.



7. Study the relationship of things. How is the topic that you studied related to the unit that you are studying?



8. Your textbook has hints for you. Many books have important words or phrases in darkened or colored type, make sure that you know them thoroughly.



The sites below are excellent and will give you many other ideas about studying.

Effective Study Strategies



Read the text assignments before going to class.

Sit in the front of the classroom.

Write down clear directions for all assignments.

Focus on what the teacher is saying, not how.

Scan reading materials before reading.

Type papers when possible.

Develop mnemonics (memory cues) when possible.

Keep a calendar of major events including tests, deadlines, etc.

Set up a study area for that purpose only.

Work on one assignment at a time.

Keep all the supplies and materials you need readily available.

Take periodic breaks (5-10 minutes each hour.)

Underline major points in your notes.

Get together study groups to review before tests.

Pay special attention to the first and last five minutes of the class.

Ask questions if you don’t understand.

Several shorter study periods are better than one long one.

Breakup large assignments into a number of small tasks.

Get a good night’s rest before an exam.

Read through the entire exam before beginning.

Answer the easiest questions first.

Pace yourself to allow adequate time for each question

Type up notes as soon as possible.

Use five-minute blocks of time to review notes.

Try to get yourself away from distractions (like music, yahoo answers, and television) and sit in a quiet, moderately comfortable area. Take 2 minute breaks every 30 minutes so that you won't be exhausted. Hunger could be a distraction, so try to eat before you study! And also studies have shown that what you do while you study could affect your test performance (for example if you wear sandals while your studying, and then wear sandals at your test, then you'll do better because your body will remember that state of mind in the past)

I wish I knew your age and what you mean by "im sitting my standard grades'. But I can tell you what helped me and my kids. I returned to college after my kids were all in grade school. I had dropped college because I always got stuck with Algebra. When I returned at age 40 I still had the same challenges with math, but this time I was determine to pass Algebra. Mrs Farmer told the class that we all have learning differences and explained briefly why she was teaching differently. You see, it may not be that you need help with knowing good studying tips. You may need to know about the way you learn and then learn what is the best way to study according to your learning style. Find a psychologist, or a school psychologist to assist you with this. Good Luck. Remember you just learn different. By the way, thanks to learning about the way I learned and having adjusted my studying habits, I had the top grade in Algebra that semester. My kids benefited from my revelation too. Best to you.

A good thing to do is study off your notes 10 minutes a day. And make note cards and spray each one with a different scent like bubblegum or candy candy and memorize the scent for each card and when ur taking a test remember the scent and it will help you remember that card with that scent and the answer.



Hope this helps! =D

Oh, and DO NOT watch or listen to tv or music when studying.

Good tips would be ....



Read your assignments/Syllabus. Evaluate each assignments and priorities them as they need to be handed in i.e. list them in a weekly calender.



Once you know your assignments and when their due. Read the chapters in which the assignment stems from.



Always work on your assignments ahead of time, not on the due date, I usually start on each assignment 2 days before they are due.



Next make sure you read the final assignment for the class, most likely it is a detail project, and you will want to work on a little bit each week.



I great tip I learned is to research the web, alot of times your answers are out there to aid you.

Hello,



The best thing to do is make sure you have a good set of condensed.. and easy to understand notes..



you can do this by reading from your study guide, make notes and then from these notes, write them again but this time put the most relevant things together so when you go over it.. all the same things are on the same page and condensed.

Now, write all the definition together so they are all on one page and easy to go over.



Also make sure you have a good timetable on what subjects you do on what days... Once you have the nice condensed notes, start going over them every time you start your revision, and then do a past paper for the subject. Once you go over the past paper, make sure you understand where you went wrong, and if not arleady on your revision notes on that topic, make notes from that past paper for that section.



Record your marks that you achieve in each past paper.. and once you have completed them all.. if you have time, do them twice!! This sounds a bit long.. but you will find that you will benefit alot from this becoming much better and faster at past papers.



Other methods people use is recording there own voice, and listening to your own voice reading your notes- this may help



When you are in the actual exam, instead of skim reading your answers where you will hardly find any mistakes, try to do the paper twice if you have time.. if you keep practice past papers alot, you will have time!!! You will find all your mistakes and achieve a much better grade.. trust me!



Anyways.. Good luck to your exams

Strong concentration is the key - being able to focus down without distraction.



It's pretty hard to do that sometimes as the world continues on around us, so if necessary get some ear plugs and try to work without radio or tv.



In college, one time, a wise-azz East Texas guy in the dorm stuck his ---- in my ear while I was reading. I let him live but to this day I don't know why.

keep yourself motivated

maybe take a break between

every 30-35 mins. of studying

while your studying, keeep all

distractions away from you

or move to a place with less distractions

focus only on your books, hw, w/e it is

think about the long run, and realize

how studying now, during just a few years

of school, will pay off during the rest of your life

... ikik easier said than done

but it takes time

Don't listen to music whilst u study. You'll start writing lyrics down and will remeber the lyrics in the exam where they are not needed. :P

studies show that eating almonds help you remember more which is good if you are studying for a history or english test. For math and science i would suggest just doing problems over and over again

plus you should go to sleep early so you are more alert for the actual test
