Make a list of questions to ask your instructor about material that needs clarification. The number of questions and how many points they are worth. The material to be covered. The value of the test toward the final grade. Know your own best time to study.
Many people learn best during daylight hours.
Select a room conducive to study where the lighting is bright and the air temperature is moderate. A warm, poorly lit room will make you sleepy. Select a quiet setting that is free from interruptions, such as the telephone, radio, television and people. Pay attention to troublesome points. Make another list for these areas on separate flash cards.
