Study is an ongoing, continuous process .
Each day is an opportunity to review material from the previous session, and prepare for material in the upcoming session. Start reviewing your notes about a week before announced tests. Make a written schedule for your weekly activity. Include class and lab hours, study time, work hours and time for recreation. Find a place to study where you can work with your mind in an undisturbed, unfettered situation.
