Tips that I practice	Tips that I don’t practice	Tips that I would like to practice
TIP 7 :"Be careful about wearing too much perfume or sitting near someone who does. The chemicals in some perfumes may affect your power to concentrate and remember information." Shay. TIP 26: "Taking notes during class is very important, and reviewing them when you get home...and it is not just the way you study but it is in the attitude you display...as long as you're a determined and a hard working student, getting good grades wouldn't be difficult for you at all." Lea. TIP 44:   “I understand and remember more when I listen to someone else so for me it is easier to work or study with a “study buddy” Virginia  TIP 58:  I find that whenever I sit down to study, I get distracted so easily and suddenly I am inspired to do so many other things - except studying. So what I do is I have a piece of blank paper with me when I study, and whenever one of these ideas come to mind I simply jot them down, so that I can do them at a later stage. By doing this I know that I won't forget to do it - after my exams, so I can carry on studying peacefully. Moira.  TIP 80:     When I study for an exam I read my written notes rather than read the whole pages in the textbook. It is kind of wasting time reading a long text when your exam is around the corner. Studying hard but not smart enough to manage your time is useless. So, my point is to write and read notes, study smart, and manage your study time properly. Patrick,  Malaysia. TIP 82:    Even if you read attentively, you shall remember 50% after 3 days, 25% after a week and 5% after 10 days. so go through your notes 2 times in 1st week and at least once for weeks after. This shall make you confident and ready for tests. Avadhut, India. TIP 16: "Always have plenty of lined paper around.  Lines help you to write your notes properly and neatly. I know it - it helps me!" Valerie, a student from Singapor.                                                  TIP 10:  "I'm recently starting year 12, I'm trying to get organized, I found your Tips very helpful. Though there are many other useful techniques, one of the best is teaching others what you have learned. I found when I helped others with questions I would gain a better knowledge of what I learned. I have also learned from my experience from year 11, that just studying a couple days before is not really studying but cramming. Therefore to gain better marks you have to study months before. Using flow charts, making notes simples, that's what summaries are supposed to be. My friend also gave me a study hint, though yet to be proven, she said the color yellow helps you remember things better, she always uses yellow paper for studying." Anna. TIP 17: "A good study TIP that I have found works quite well is to read the material to be covered in a lecture beforehand, and as you are reading create an outline, leaving plenty of space.  Take this outline to the lecture and add to it new information the teacher gives, highlight on it things that you already have listed that are things she stresses as important.  I type my outlines and type in blank lines using the underscore key so that they are easier to add to and because it being typed makes it easier to tell the difference between the information that came from the textbook and the information that came from the teacher.  I also list questions that I have at the bottom of my outline, with lines to write the answers on.  If the teacher gives the answer during the lecture then I write it in the space I have provided, the questions that she does not answer I ask for answers to." Roxanne.   TIP 26: "Taking notes during class is very important, and reviewing them when you get home...and it is not just the way you study but it is in the attitude you display...as long as you're a determined and a hard working student, getting good grades wouldn't be difficult for you at all." Lea.	TIP 32: "My own study TIP that has always worked for me is to lock my self in the room and focus. With the only sound of me reading and no one bothering me, I can understand the reading a lot better. If I start thinking about something else I get up and eat something then I'll come back to it." Ricardo. TIP 52: When I study I like to recreate my notes. Colors and shapes help me to remember. Circling things or highlighting works great. I associate the color or shape with the information and I tend to remember it better (and longer). Danielle. TIP 56: At night, I place something I normally wouldn't in the middle of my floor, and while I'm doing that, I think to myself that the reason I put that down is to remember to do my school work in the next morning or day. The next day I see it and remember why I put it there. (This reason can also be to help you remember to do something else the next day). Riley. TIP 57: I am a long time studier. I am a PC Analyst for a very Large Corporation and am climbing my way up the "corporate ladder". I came upon this web site while I was researching for, "How many hours should one study?" I found all of these tips to be very helpful and some what true. I know that everyone doesn't study the same and what's best for one might not be good for another. I find that mixing and applying various types of formulas helps me. Example: first, I Read the chapter. As I read the chapter, I highlight important words, sentences, or paragraphs that refer to my study. Then I re-read the page, step-by-step (in case I miss anything the first time) and write down in a notebook, the important parts I need (usually the highlighted area). Then, when I am done with the chapter, I grab a stack of index cards and start writing questions and the answers (on the back) that pertain to that question. It may sound like a long vigorous study technique but believe me, it works. This lets me know that I have read, re-read, extracted important information, questioned certain parts (Googled) that I don't understand, and finally reviewed the questions on index. And for motivation, I listen to light music, thanks to Delilah (Radio host). Jeffrey. TIP 58: I find that whenever I sit down to study, I get distracted so easily and suddenly I am inspired to do so many other things - except studying. So what I do is I have a piece of blank paper with me when I study, and whenever one of these ideas come to mind I simply jot them down, so that I can do them at a later stage. By doing this I know that I won't forget to do it - after my exams, so I can carry on studying peacefully. Moira.  TIP 84: While you are studying any technical words or difficult terminologies first try to know their meaning linguistically and then try to relate the topic you are going to study. This will really help you studying smoothly. Guntur.  TIP 85: Sometimes taking the notes in hand and reading them while walking in a park or a garden helps a lot in remembering the matter, as the greenery around you keeps you away from sleep and walking slowly helps in keeping you active. Siddhi, INDIA. TIP 21: "This isn't an effective way to study but a method that my dad taught me, and it may be of use to you. You may already know it. Anyway, on the first day, you study what you learned in class. Then you read and study about 2 pages of your text book ahead, but just briefly, so you have the preview of what it is about. The next day in class, the teacher will teach the method, and you already know the basis of it, so it all clicks and maybe you learn a little more. When you get home, you don't really need to study that much. I don't know if you can get it by the way I'm explaining it. You sort of learned it the night before, and study during the actual lesson, so you're always a step ahead. Do you get it? I hope you understand what I've written. Have a good day." Adriana. TIP 22: "Taking notes on whatever I'm studying and going over them really helps me out when studying. The task of taking notes and writing down the material is what helps me, and reviewing those notes adds to the repetition that's going on, which helps even more. Also, before studying try to get or already have enough sleep, because sleepiness can really get you out of studying; it always does for me." Evan Agustin. TIP 25: "My TIP is to increase vocabulary so concentration is not interrupted while studying, or reading. Words that are difficult to understand will become more friendly if I practice using them." Linda.	TIP 6 : "Definitely listen in class, you won't have to study so hard if you actually know some of the information beforehand (from class)." Dennis.  TIP 40: Part of good study habit is making a schedule, which will help you organize your time and your thoughts.  Having a  schedule indicates your personal obligations, setting priorities, and especially it will help you for studying.  It is organization that helps with your thoughts be more active for any studies you have to do. So remember write your obligations on your schedule. No name given. TIP 19: "Don't play sport or tire yourself before doing anything that requires thinking, memory etc. such as a test, or study period. Make sure you are fully rested and relaxed. I made the mistake, and took me three exams to figure it out." Fubu. TIP 23: "When summarizing a chapter of a subject, I type the information out in question format (e.g. instead of simply typing "alveoli are thin in shape which results in fast diffusion of substances..." I type "Discuss the structure of alveoli. How does their structure aid them in their primary role?"), then I type in the answer and, when the chapter summary is completed, print a copy. A family member or friend then asks me the questions and I give the answer. That way I'm not just making a summary once, but completing the equivalent whenever I can nag anyone into helping me. It also prepares me for exams in which they generally expect to you use your knowledge and apply it to answer questions." Alexis, Australia.   TIP 61: Hello. I am a student from Singapore. I'd like to share two study tips. Eating brain food helps to aid better studying. One example is banana. Have a brain food as a snack instead of sweets or chocolates helps,  as it contains proteins. Another study tip that I would like to share is to do mindmaps. Mindmaps- a study tool that is highly recommended by my school teachers and many other scholars. Start by writing a heading in the middle and circle it. Then branch out into subheadings and note down the points. It is recommended that using color markers/pencils help as color helps you remember better (a science teacher said so). When you jot down the points, use abbreviations and pictures to replace the words. This aids in remembering the facts a lot better! I use a mindmap for all my revisions and just need to review the important points instead of perusing through those wordy texbooks. Oh, please do your notes first as you will be able to identify the main points. I hope these tips do help students as it did for many others. Eloise.  TIP 41: My study TIP is to make your own questions while reading and with those same questions test yourself, with this you will find out how well you are doing or if you are ready for the test. No name given. TIP 49: I am an Indian student and I am in the tenth standard now. My TIP is "When you sit down to study never think about anything else other than your book. Leave the world outside and come into your book." Jassi. TIP 40: Part of good study habit is making a schedule, which will help you organize your time and your thoughts.  Having a  schedule indicates your personal obligations, setting priorities, and especially it will help you for studying.  It is organization that helps with your thoughts be more active for any studies you have to do. So remember write your obligations on your schedule. No name given.   TIP 72: When I study, I usually read it out loud at least 3 times, then, without looking at it, write it out 3 times, and check if I'm right.  It helps because while you're writing it out, you're thinking about it and trying to remember it. Sharon.  TIP 63: In a psychology class I took, we learned that if study conditions are similar to testing conditions, you will probably do better on the test because you are more able to recall the information.  So I decided that I would take my notes to the classroom early (the same classroom I would be taking the test in) and study in that room for about 10 or 15 minutes every day.  I definitely noticed an improvement in my test grades!  This is why it is best not to listen to music while you try to memorize- you wont be listening to music when you take the test.  If you can't study in the room, simply study in a quiet room with no outside distractions, sitting in a chair pulled up to a desk (you will probably be taking the test with these conditions).  It really does work!  Donna.
