Studying Habits for Success Students

Successful students have good study habits, such as:

  1. Try not to do too much studying at one time. 
  2. Separate study topics. 
  3. Plan specific times for studying. 
  4. Try to study at the same times each day. 
  5. Set specific goals for study times. 
  6. Work on the most difficult assignment first. 
  7. Say, “I will start something” instead of “I need to finish this”.
  8. Reward yourself after achieving a goal (dance and sing, listen to a podcast, call a friend).
  9. Plan the upcoming week on Thursday or Friday and include the weekend.
  10. Make sure you do some homework for each class at least every other day.
  11. Review, revise, and summarize class notes within 24 hrs.
