| Eight Study Secrets of Great Students
1. Set Goals - Goals help to focus on the future.
Goals need to be specific.
Write down your goals and post them where you can
see them.
2. Plan Your Time - Use a calendar to keep track of all your
activities, including when you have homework and large
projects due. If you have conflicts, school comes
first.
3. Study Every Day - Take time out to review assignments, even when
you have no homework.
4. Take Notes in Class - Teachers almost always tell you what's
likely to be on the test. So if you take notes, you'll
know what to study.
5. Review Your Notes Shortly After Class - A quick review will help
move the information from short-term memory into
long-term memory.
6. Make Sure You Have the Tools You Need - Bring your supplies to
class with you, including paper, pencil or pen, and
your book.
7. Check the Details - Proofread your work before you turn it in. On
a report, include visual aides. Check math
assignments for accuracy.
8. Get Ready the Night Before - Have a place in your house to keep
your school stuff. Before you go to bed, check to make
sure you have everything ready to walk out the door
the next morning. Checking ahead will make you less
rushed in the morning.
