Studying

With exams coming up many students are starting to "freak out" with the stress. Here are ten tips to rock your exams.


1. Give yourself TIME! Don't cram...it doesn't work very well. You can also ask your teacher questions if you don't understand something.


2. Use an agenda. Try to study every night, even if it is just for a little bit.


3. Set up a good workplace. Put away your phone, iPod, and other distractions.


4. Look at the big picture. Sometimes it may seem like a lot to do, but break it down. Figure out how much needs to be done each night.


5. Study a bit each night. You will find stuff easier to remember if you repeat it all the time.


6. Make notes. This helps you remember and get information straight in your mind.


7. Put it in your own words. Make it easy for you to understand everyone learns different. Find a way that works for you.


8. Cover, recite, and check. Paraphase. After you read a paragraph try to put it in your own words.


9. Don't study stuff you already know. Start with the hard stuff. There is no point wasting your time studying stuff you already understand.


10. Try to learn in class. Concentrate and participate in class.
