How to Study

Study, study, study! It is the most important part of school, especially in college. They say that for every hour you are in class, you should spend three studying.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Motivation
• Drive
• Time

1. Set up some time to study each day. Put it on a schedule so you already have it mapped out how much time you will need.

2. Having a schedule is also a very important part. If you do not map out you time wisely it can be very easy for time to slip away.

3. Join a study group. Chances are, if you don't understand it someone else will. When studying a group effort can also help things move along quickly. Especially if you break the assignment up and give a portion to each person.

4. Breaks. While it is good to stay focused and study, one must set aside some time to relax and let everything they have learned sink in. Perhaps go for a jog or a run, something to get the blood flowing. Then when you are down with that, you will be more ready to study.

5. Don't procrastinate. As much fun as it is to put things off, the closer it gets, the more stressed you will be. To avoid the stress entirely, go ahead and do the assignment. Or break it up into portions where it doesn't seem like such a huge load.

6. Once you have fell into a pattern, you will get used to studying and it won't seem so horrible. Because you will already have that time set aside for it.

7. Take your time. Don't rush through an assignment if you are tired of studying, take a break.
