Good Study Habits



The best way to get good grades is to start using good study habits now.

It’s a lot easier to maintain good grades than to improve poor grades later. Plus, the study habits you learn now will help you in college and in your future career.

Study tips you can’t live without:


  1. Decide what to study, how long to study or how much to study before you get started. Set a goal and stick to your deadlines.
  2. If you’re a motivated student, complete difficult tasks first. For procrastinators, start off with the easy, interesting parts of the project. Reward yourself as you accomplish tasks.
  3. Have special places to study. Take into consideration lighting, temperature and the location of a desk, pen, paper, etc.
  4. Study 30-50 minutes then take a 10-minute break. Stretch, relax and have a snack. If you get tired or bored, move to a different location, subject or task.
  5. Allow plenty of time for reading, outlining and writing papers. Use less time for memorization, review and self-testing.
  6. Use memory activities to review just before you fall asleep.
  7. Study with a friend. Quiz each other, compare notes and predict test questions.
  8. Speak up! If you need help, ask for it.
