| "Whenever I study, I read the entire chapter in my textbook amd then write questions based on the information. I read things which I do not understand again and look up new terms in a dictionary, and then fix a time by which I promise myself to finish learning the information. If I find it difficult to learn something, then I simplify it and learn it or write it 2-3 times and then speak it 2-3 times to remember it." |

| "Read the text out loud as you write your notes.
Try to change the text into language that is best for your understanding. Try to have some surface knowledge about the topic before the class starts.

| "In my opinion, the best way to study is to feel free and comfortable when you were given a topic to study. Do not get fretful and also do not depend simply on your textbook for the given topic. Search the topic for different information. For instance, look for information from the Internet, from the library, from your teacher, or any other source that relates to your topic. When you find some information that precisely relates to the topic, take notes. By reading the information and then writing it in your own hand, you will have a record of it and will remember it. While doing this research focus on every key point and look for the information associated with these key points. When you have a test, you can scan this information and be ready to do well. " |

| "I think that the best way to study is to just have it really quiet in the whole house - no music or anything. I like to write whatever I am studying 10 or 20 times so I remember it. Then I ask my mom to ask me qustions and mark off the ones I get wrong. Then I go back and study these again." |

| "People think that studying is all about reading again and again. I think that too. The only problem that students like me have is that sometimes we don't understand what we read, and we're scared to ask questions. But I've learned that asking questions is the best help you can get from anybody. DON'T BE SCARED, STAND UP AND SPEAK UP FOR YOURSELF! You'll feel really good - I promise." |

| "I think that you must clear your confusions by asking questions of your teacher. If other students laugh at you due to this behavior, then do not mind and keep asking questions. But be sure that your questions are about the topic. Keep in in mind that your success lies in three words: "I can do." " |
