Create Study Plans
Studying randomly might be the worst mistake any student can make. It only leads to failure. To be organized, you have to create your own studying plan to decide what will you study and when, and manage your priorities in order to be more successful.
Steps
- Study the same day. Everyday in school you learn something new. So make sure the same day after going home you study whatever was taught in school.
- Revise for Tests, Quizzes and Exams. Make sure you revise what you learned throughout the week on weekends.
- Choose what you have to study first not what you want to study first.
- Try to estimate the time you will need to study each subject
- Assign each subject to a priority category e.g urgent, later.
- Go to the library. If there are any assignments to be done, go to the library and the librarian will guide you with books to refer for your assignment studies.
- Solve past exams questionnaire. Some colleges may have a question bank of past exams. Make sure you solve these questionnaires to study. Time your self for the question paper.
- Study a few hours daily. Studying daily keeps your brain cells active. After studying a few pages try writing a summary of what you read without peeping into the book.
Tips
- Color code subjects. Assign each of your classes/courses/modules with a color. e.g math yellow, English purple, etc. Make sure notebooks, highlighting and even writing (if you want) are color co-ordinated to the chosen color of that subject. This will make remembering certain subjects easier and will allow you to grab needed books quickly in between class changes, etc.
- Be organized for each task so you don't waste time!
