Study Tip: If you have an idea of the questions that will be asked and are finding it hard to remember the answers, write the question in one side of the card and the answer on the back. Practice relating the question to the answer and when you go to the exam, your mind will remember! #study #studytip
Study Tip: Test yourself or have someone test you on the material to find out what your weak and strong areas are. You can use the review questions at the end of each chapter, practice tests that the teacher may give out or other pertinent materials. #studytip #studytip #study #studying
Study Tip: Turn Your Notes into Flash Cards
Now that you've got all your notes in front of you, open up a pack of index cards. As you read through the important facts, rewrite them in Q&A form on the cards. #studytip #study
Study Tip: Find the right hours. Don't study when you're really tired. It's better to get a good night's sleep after studying for a short time, than to push on at two in the morning. You won't remember much and you're likely to see a performance drop the next day. #study #studytip
Study Tip: Easily remember sequences and key concepts – like PEMDAS – by revamping them into a story you can relate to. #study #studytip
Study Tip: Work all assigned problems, and then work some more, even if the assignment will not be collected. In math and science courses where memorization is crucial, it is helpful to over learn the material. Small amounts of practice spread over several days is more efficient than one long memorization session. #study #studytip
Study Tip: Ditch the all-nighters. The brain needs sleep to strengthen new memories. So while it’s tempting to cram until dawn, remember that without some ZZs, you won’t retain the information as well. #study #studytip
Study Tip: Recognize the importance of regular review. Review class notes on a daily basis, and set aside review time for each course on a weekly basis. #study #studytip
Study Tip: Give yourself enough time to study Don't leave it until the last minute. Set out a timetable for your study. Write down how many exams you have and the days on which you have to sit them. Then organize your study accordingly. You may want to give some exams more study time than others, so find a balance that you feel comfortable with. #studytip #study

the material easier. #study #studytip
Learn to manage your time effectively. Make a time schedule and stick to it. Make a daily list of things to do. Assign each item a priority rating. Recognize that priorities can change. Ask yourself two questions.
"Is what I'm doing now helping me achieve my goals?"
"What will happen if I don't do this?" #study #studytip

Study Tip: When you first approach a chapter, page through it fairly quickly, noting boldface headings and subheadings, examining figures, illustrations, charts, etc., and thinking about any highlighted vocabulary terms and concepts. Also take note of the pedagogical aids at the end of the chapter--study questions, summary, etc. #study #studytip

Study Tip: Practice on old exams
One of the most effective ways to prepare for exams is to practice taking past versions. This helps you get used to the format of the questions, and - if you time yourself - can also be good practice for making sure you spend the right amount of time on each section. #study #studytip

Study Tip: Never miss an exam if you can help it. You will rarely be more ready for the exam in two or three days than you are on the scheduled date, and the annoyance the teacher will feel about having to arrange a special exam time for you can actually hurt your grade in the end. Miss exams only if you absolutely have to. #study #studytip
Study Tip: Plan ahead. Always create a plan before you start studying. Remember that this plan has to be achievable. If 3 out of 5 lessons are easy and can be finished fast, finish them first, so you can spend quality time on the difficult lessons without fretting.

Study Tip: Take care to spell all new words carefully. It you don't know how to spell a word, ask your instructor to write it on the board. #study
Study Tip: Look for better solutions to problems
For example, if you don't understand the course material, don't just re-read it.
Try something else! Consult with the professor, a tutor, an academic advisor, a classmate, a study group, or your school's study skills center. #study #studytip
Study Tip: It is usually best to keep the notes for different classes separate from each other. Spiral notebooks with built in dividers are excellent for this purpose. #study #studytip
