Studying

Review First

Work on New Material Early and Often

Take Breaks

Focused PRACTICE

Review before tests -- your studying should be complete

If you study for multiple classes in the same study session, work from your hardest course to your easiest course

If you're taking more than one math course, take precautions so you don't confuse them

Determine what you know and what you don't know

Start with stuff that's a bit of trouble and work you're way up to the really "hard" stuff

Don't forget to review the "easy" stuff from time to time

Write down questions and get them answered

Read and re-read your textbook as needed

Keep reworking your notes

Create flash cards
