students have good study habits.
They apply these habits to all of their classes.
Read about each study habit.
Work to develop any study habit you do not
have.Successful students:
Try not to do too much studying at one time.
If you try to do too much studying at one
time, you will tire and your studying will
not be very effective.
Space the work you have to do over shorter
periods of time.
Taking short breaks will restore your mental
energy.
Plan specific times for studying.
Study time is any time you are doing something
related to schoolwork.
It can be completing assigned reading, working
on a paper or project, or studying for a test.
Schedule specific times throughout the week
for your study time.
Try to study at the same times each day.
Studying at the same times each day establishes
a routine that becomes a regular part of your
life, just like sleeping and eating.
When a scheduled study time comes up during
the day, you will be mentally prepared to
begin studying.
Set specific goals for their study times.
Goals will help you stay focused and monitor
your progress.
Simply sitting down to study has little value.
You must be very clear about what you want
to accomplish during your study times.
Start studying when planned.
You may delay starting your studying because
you don't like an assignment or think it is
too hard.
A delay in studying is called "procrastination."
If you procrastinate for any reason, you will
find it 
difficult 
to get everything done when you need to.
You may rush to make up the time you wasted
getting started, resulting in careless work
and errors.
Work on 
the assignment they find most difficult first.
Your most difficult assignment will require
the most effort.
Start with your most difficult assignment
since this is when you have 
the most mental energy.
Review their notes before beginning an assignment.
Reviewing your notes can help 
you make sure you are doing an assignment
correctly.
Also, your 
notes may include information that 
will help you complete an assignment.
Tell their friends not 
to call them during their study times.
Two study problems can occur if your friends
call you during your study times.
First, your work is interrupted.
It is not that easy to get back to 
what you were doing.
Second, your friends may talk about things
that will distract you from what you need
to do.
Here's a simple idea - turn off your cell
phone during your study times.
Call another student when they have difficulty
with an assignment.
This is a case where "two heads may be better
than one."
Review their schoolwork over the weekend.
Yes, weekends should be fun time.
But there is also time to do some review.
This will help you be ready to go 
on Monday morning when another school week
begins.
These ten study habits can help you throughout
your education.
Make sure they 
are your study habits.
