Tips that I practice	Tips that I don’t practice	Tips that I would like to practice
TIP 4  "While studying, keep peppermint in your mouth... it clears your nasal passage for fresh air. More fresh air means more oxygen to the brain. Trust me, this really helps with memorizing and studying for school." Dennis	TIP 2 "For girls, when you study, have a scent in the room, preferably a perfume or something. Then when you take the test, wear that perfume.  It can help you remember what you study because you relate the scent to the information. Of   course you have to use a scent that you wouldn't normally smell." Clarise	TIP 5 "When having a test or quiz on your notes (which happens quite frequently), take your notebook to your computer,  and type all of your notes pertaining to that chapter in that particular section of your notebook. By typing the notes you need to know for your test, a lot of the information is displayed from your short-term memory to your long-term memory. After typing your notes out, look them over and study in-depth... This always helps." Dennis
TIP 6 "Definitely listen in class, you won't have to study so hard if you actually know some of the information beforehand (from class)." Dennis	TIP 7 "Be careful about wearing too much perfume or sitting near someone who does. The chemicals in some perfumes may affect your power to concentrate and remember information." Shay	TIP 9 "Read over the notes a couple of times and then summarize it in your own words. Writing it down might help store it into the long-term memory." Veronica
TIP 19 "Don't play sport or tire yourself before doing anything that requires thinking, memory etc. such as a test, or study period. Make sure you are fully rested and relaxed. I made the mistake, and took me three exams to figure it out." Fubu	TIP 16 "Always have plenty of lined paper around.  Lines help you to write your notes properly and neatly. I know it - it helps me!" Valerie, a student from Singapore.	TIP 25 "My TIP is to increase vocabulary so concentration is not interrupted while studying, or reading. Words that are difficult to understand will become more friendly if I practice using them." Linda
TIP 31 "Before I started to do my study, I make sure that I am  not sleepy, hungry, thirsty, and don't need to use the bathroom. If I feel all those necessities before I study, I take care of it first. This way, there will be no unnecessary interruption while I'm doing my work." Edita	TIP 29 "My studying method that works for me is to review my notes everyday and reread the topic chapter to refresh my memory. Doing this everyday helped me prepared for my test by not cramming the night before exam." Loreto	TIP 26 "Taking notes during class is very important, and reviewing them when you get home...and it is not just the way you study but it is in the attitude you display...as long as you're a determined and a hard working student, getting good grades wouldn't be difficult for you at all." Lea
TIP 38 My own personal study TIP that really helps me out mostly is I find a quiet place most likely in my room, lock the door so there would be no distractions and start playing soft relaxing music such as Kenny G. or slow jams. I know for a majority of people music is the biggest distraction, but I am totally opposite. Music helps me relax and concentrate. No name given.	TIP 33 My study TIP is simple. I follow the survey technique in which I scan through the chapters first, then read and summarize. I usually find a place where it is quiet  (like the library, backyard or any corners of my house) and comfortable. I also make sure that I put-up a sign that reads "OUT TO LUNCH, COME BACK LATER!" Rose	TIP 37 Before studying, I advise other students to eat a light snack, nothing heavy or else you'll be falling asleep from being too full. Also, it's very important to get rid of internal distractions (something that is bugging your head, i.e. making a phone call, chores, picking up a few things at the store)...do those things right away so that you'll be concentrating on your studies. Angelita
TIP 42 My own personal TIP is to go into your room lock yourself in there and turn on a little music and start studying. A little music won't hurt. Actually it makes me focus more on what I'm actually studying. I don't know why but it works for me. Most people would get distracted but I recommend that. You should try it sometime. Linda	TIP 44 “I understand and remember more when I listen to someone else so for me it is easier to work or study with a “study buddy” Virginia	TIP 40 Part of good study habit is making a schedule, which will help you organize your time and your thoughts.  Having a  schedule indicates your personal obligations, setting priorities, and especially it will help you for studying.  It is organization that helps with your thoughts be more active for any studies you have to do. So remember write your obligations on your schedule. No name given
TIP 55 I'm the sort of student who gets easily distracted and it's a nasty habit. When that happens, I remember that what I'm doing is for my own sake. Motivate yourself. If your mind wanders constantly, just set a short time limit, like half an hour - then take a ten minute break (walk around your garden or something, relaxing in the living room is a bad idea since there's the television and everything) and get back to studying. It's better than feeling bored through one hour and not absorbing any material at all. It works for me. See if it works for you. Kuki	TIP 49 I am an Indian student and I am in the tenth standard now. My TIP is "When you sit down to study never think about anything else other than your book. Leave the world outside and come into your book." Jassi	TIP 47 Drink plenty of water, it keeps the brain hydrated. A hydrated brain can remember more than a dehydrated brain. Of course do not go silly or else you will be spending all your time in the toilet! Daryl
TIP 62 An excellent study tip for those who like to study with music: Study to music that you don't know the lyrics to, or to completely instrumental music. It stops you singing along (unintentionally too) to every song and allows you to focus completely on the task at hand. Whether you're into classical music or (like me) not, Satie is pretty excellent to study to. Sagal	TIP 52 When I study I like to recreate my notes. Colors and shapes help me to remember. Circling things or highlighting works great. I associate the color or shape with the information and I tend to remember it better (and longer). Danielle	TIP 53 Try to study in the morning because at that time, your mind is fresh and you can do more study than you can do it during night. I works for me. Harinder
TIP 76 Study for yourself, not because your parents want you to but because you are the creator of your own destiny. Abhi	TIP 56 At night, I place something I normally wouldn't in the middle of my floor, and while I'm doing that, I think to myself that the reason I put that down is to remember to do my school work in the next morning or day. The next day I see it and remember why I put it there. (This reason can also be to help you remember to do something else the next day). Riley	TIP 58 I find that whenever I sit down to study, I get distracted so easily and suddenly I am inspired to do so many other things - except studying. So what I do is I have a piece of blank paper with me when I study, and whenever one of these ideas come to mind I simply jot them down, so that I can do them at a later stage. By doing this I know that I won't forget to do it - after my exams, so I can carry on studying peacefully. Moira
TIP 80 When I study for an exam I read my written notes rather than read the whole pages in the textbook. It is kind of wasting time reading a long text when your exam is around the corner. Studying hard but not smart enough to manage your time is useless. So, my point is to write and read notes, study smart, and manage your study time properly. Patrick,  Malaysia	TIP 74 One of my sixth grade teachers told me once to repeat everything my teacher said in a low whisper to yourself and that after the teacher is done keep reciting as much as possible until you are sure you have it in your head like a daily routine. This helps me and it's the easiest thing to do also when you are taking notes. Your mind will be more focused on what the teacher is saying and you won't miss a thing  Jose	TIP 70 When studying languages.. remember to pronounce each word CORRECTLY. Not only will this help you when reciting for exams, but when it comes to spelling, you will improve tremendously with accent placement etc. Adanma
