Make study time a habit.
Everyone studies, in some shape or form. But more often than not there is no set time hen the studying takes place and typically there are many distractions. Do some initial planning and pick a time when you are at your best as well when you are not committed to something else. Stick to the time you decide upon and study ahead for tests, don't wait to cram it all in the night before, this not a very effective way to get it done.
Have the right resources to get the job done.
You can't hammer a nail without the hammer and you can't study without the proper tools either. Have all the things you need at your fingertips. Things such as, pens, pencils, paper, dictionary, atlas, and your textbooks.
Use your daily planners or agendas.
There is no sense in studying if you don't know what to study. Take your daily planner or agenda to ever class and write down all the assignments given.
Begin with the hard assignments.
Most students have one subject that gives them the most trouble. An extremely effective technique is to start with that subject when you are at your best.
Divide longer projects into smaller pieces.
As the classes get tougher the assignments typically get longer, and you'll find out your ability to get the entire project done the night before it is due will get tougher and tougher. Cut your long assignments into smaller more manageable pieces.
Take a short break while studying.
Stay on task.
Turn in your homework.
