In class it's important to write your assignments down. When your teacher tells you about an exam next Friday, write it down. Place a note about the exam for each day until the exam. Writing down your assignments will reinforce homework into your mental to do list. An organized schedule for your school work prevents you from being overwhelmed. For it to work, you need to use it everyday and look at it every time you sit down for homework. Different people like to work and read at different parts of the day. Try out a few time slots to figure out when you're most productive. It's common for students to take a small break after school and then study. Take time to have a quick snack and then sit down to study. If you finish your work in the afternoon, you can relax in the evening. Some people find it more beneficial to work on homework and study at night or early in the morning. This all depends on your schedule and habits. If you're committed to sports or an after school activity, you'll need designate your time to study carefully. It's easy to blow off studying after an intense training, so be aware. You need a desk or a table with a decent amount of space. You will also need good lighting. Students will often say that listening to music, having the TV on, or keeping their phone out helps, but these are all distractions. If you can't work in silence, listen to ambient music instead of music that's lyric driven. Avoid reading textbooks on your bed. The temptation to sleep increases when you study on your bed. Studying outside of your house can help you focus. Changing the literal room of where you study can improve your retention rate. Try visiting a local coffee shop or a nearby library. It depends on your preferences. A lot of people benefit from participating in study groups. These can be extremely informal and are usually very effective. You don't need to be a lone wolf when it comes to academics. Humans are social creatures. Even if you feel that you don't know as much as these other students, you should still try it. You'll find that you do have something to contribute to the group. Studies show that those who prepare for exams studying in a group have higher passing rates. There are three different types of learners: visual, auditory, or kinesthetic. If you're a visual learner, you might need to highlight your notes. If you're an auditory learner, you may need to make a song out of your notes. If you're a kinesthetic learner, you might need to act out your notes. Your learning style is a big part of studying success. If you're not studying in a way that complements your learning style, the information won't sink in as well. You need to at least study 2 and half hours everyday. So you need to study 30 minutes for each subject you have.
Keep an agenda. Plan your study time. Have a good space to study. Plan a study group. Know your learning style.
