"If you want to be successful in your studying, in essence, you have to concentrate and ignore the surrounding noisy distractions. Secondly, you have to make connections between what you study. Do not only study that page and then ignore the previous one and turn to the next page. Last but not least, imagine in your mind what you study. You know you can do these things and read and memorize more than 10 pages in half an hour."

"The most important thing to remember is, if you are lagging behind in your course...DON'T ignore the current topics being taught in order to complete the previous ones. This won't help..and you will eventually keep lagging on....complete the current topics...then you can sacrifice some of your extra time to go back and complete the previous things."

"Ask your teacher or professor about when your next test is, and as soon as you find out, start studying. Study 40 minutes a day about 2 hours after getting home If you don't go straight home from school, wait 1 hour. Read the notes you studied twice right before you go to bed. After reading the notes put on some nice classical music to help you relax and get a good night's sleep."
