1. Select where you will study so that you are not distracted.
2. Plan deadlines for each required project. A calendar with space to write deadlines for reading reports, tests, and projects is helpful for spacing study time efficiently.
3. Develop the ability to concentrate well. When reading, underline or take notes on important statements, including dates, facts, or important thoughts and ideas. Making outlines is especially helpful, as is asking for clarification on anything not understood.
4. Begin studying for a test a few days in advance rather than cramming the night before. By studying in advance of a test, you are able to review the material and make sure it is understood
