📝 1. Develop strong listening & note-taking skills
Stay focused during lectures and take organized notes. Try structured systems like Cornell Notes or outline formats to make reviewing easier.
✍️ 2. Improve your writing, speaking, and research skills
Clear communication is key! Use campus resources like the writing center, librarians, and presentation practice tools to build confidence.
📖 3. Stay ahead on class reading
Don’t wait until the last minute to start the chapter. Preview readings, highlight key points, and jot down questions to ask in class.
⏰ 4. Don’t procrastinate
Break big tasks into smaller ones. Use tools like the Assignment Calculator to stay on schedule and avoid last-minute stress.
📆 5. Set aside fixed study time & space
Pick a consistent time and quiet place to study. A regular routine helps train your brain to focus faster.
⏳ 6. Study in short sessions
Try the Pomodoro Method (25-minute study blocks with 5-minute breaks) to stay sharp and avoid burnout.
👥 7. Establish a study group
Study with classmates — especially in Math and Science. Teaching others is a powerful way to reinforce your learning.
🧠 8. Use your personal learning style
Are you a visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learner? Match your study methods (like diagrams, flashcards, or discussions) to your preferred style.
🧩 9. Use memory devices to recall information
Mnemonics, rhymes, and acronyms (like PEMDAS) help you remember key facts more easily.
🧪 10. Use test-taking strategies
Practice with sample questions, pace yourself, and review your past exams to improve your approach for next time.
