Study Tips

There are many different styles and ways to study for classes when attending college. What doesn’t change is the fact that you really do NEED to study or else you might be in a world of trouble. I am going to pass on some tips that I practice when I need to study for classes.

The first part of advice that I’ll give is that you need to stay organized. It’s important to keep all the materials for different classes separate in their own folders or whatever you choose to separate them. If not you will end up having to many papers and you won’t be able to find what you’re looking for.

When you’re in class it is very important to take notes while the professor is giving his/her lecture. It’s either take notes or sleep, if you don’t want to flunk out of college I suggest you take notes. These notes are going to be very important when it comes to studying for an exam. During the professor’s lecture they might tell you that a certain piece of information is going to be on an exam. Make sure you have a highlighter with you and have it handy so when the professor gives you these clues you can highlight it for easier spotting the next time you review the notes.

In all honesty I am a horrible procrastinator. For this reason it is very important for me to pay attention while I’m in class. Usually, on the night before a test I end up cramming and reviewing my notes trying to jam it all into my head. I find that if I pay pretty good attention in class that some, if not most, of the information is easier to remember. That might just be common sense,
