Study Tips
Here are two study tips from over 1,500 tips submitted by students and teachers
Think of studying as a game. If you practice and get good at it, it's interesting. But if you don't, it's boring. So while studying, I try to entertain myself by visualizing the information I have to study in my subjects. In my spare time I think of what I visualized to remember the information for a long time.

I have been out of school for a while and it has been a long time since I have had to do any studying. If you are returning to school like me, you have to make up your mind that you want to study. Then prepare yourself to study hard.

Return Work Quickly
Grade and return work to students as quickly as possible. The greater the interval between a student handing in and receiving graded work, the less impact your feedback will have.
Rule Cards
Rule cards can be a very useful study aid for students in any grade. They can be used in any subject. A rule card simply consists of a rule on the front side and one or two examples of the rule on the back. Students can add examples throughout the school year. By carrying the rule cards with them, students can gain mastery of the rules through frequent review.
