Make a study schedule you can stick to; make one like your class timetable. Studying regularly as you go along helps you learn more of the material, each week.
Practice studying by yourself or with friends. Test yourself with old exams, do quizzes and flash cards – review and discuss with a small group of friends.
Outline and rewrite your notes in a way that makes sense to you and your learning style. Connect similar concepts using your own words and structure.
Bring everything you need when studying, nothing you don’t. Bring study books, paper and examples; leave unneeded distractions elsewhere.
Where you study is important: choose a quiet place with no distractions, somewhere you can concentrate and can count on to use for the next few years of studying.
How you approach studying matters: aim to think positively and treat it as an opportunity to learn, not a necessary task. Play with it and enjoy it; focus in on it.
The next time you are studying, write down a list of distractions as they happen. This will help you to be more disciplined by knowing what habits you can remove to allow you to concentrate better.
