INSTRUCTIONS

Hello dear student,

Now that you know how to use your netiquettes, I invite you to learn some tips to success in your study. For this purpose,
1. Please go to this link:http://www.adprima.com/studytips.htm  and there you will find about 50 or more tips written by some students like you which have been very successful for them!

2. After you read them (take your time for it), fill in this chart.

Tips that I practice	Tips that I don’t practice	Tips that I would like to practice

Tips that I practice	Tips that I don’t practice	Tips that I would like to practice
Definitely listen in class, you won't have to study so hard if you actually know some of the information beforehand (from class)	Sometimes, if I have a study guide, I'll tape it to the front of my Trapper Keeper, so if I have any extra time, I can glance at it	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
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	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	My study TIP is to make your own questions while reading and with those same questions test yourself, with this you will find out how well you are doing or if you are ready for the test.
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	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	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!
Study for yourself, not because your parents want you to but because you are the creator of your own destiny	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	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.
While you are studying any technical words or difficult terminologies first try to know their meaning linguistically and then try to relate the topic you are going to study. This will really help you studying smoothly.	When I study, I usually read it out loud at least 3 times, then, without looking at it, write it out 3 times, and check if I'm right.  It helps because while you're writing it out, you're thinking about it and trying to remember it.	Even if you read attentively, you shall remember 50% after 3 days, 25% after a week and 5% after 10 days. so go through your notes 2 times in 1st week and at least once for weeks after. This shall make you confident and ready for tests.
"My own study TIP that has always worked for me is to lock my self in the room and focus. With the only sound of me reading and no one bothering me, I can understand the reading a lot better. If I start thinking about something else I get up and eat something then I'll come back to it."	Sometimes taking the notes in hand and reading them while walking in a park or a garden helps a lot in remembering the matter, as the greenery around you keeps you away from sleep and walking slowly helps in keeping you active.	"A strategy that I employ for studying is to try refer to my course materials whenever I find my mind going over concepts taught in my courses. I always have my class materials available so that I can pull them out in the event that I find myself thinking of them. I believe that my mind keeps working on things even when I am not consciously thinking about them. Whenever I open my class materials when I find my mind drifting onto the topic, I find that the concepts that were difficult for me previously are now very easy to understand. I'll then go on and do some of the assignments for practice so I don't forget. It's sub-conscious studying!"
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.	"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."	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."
Study TIP: I know people say 'listen to a little music while studying, is 'good', but this is not good for muso's and anyone who has a fast ear to a tune - we get distracted, even if we don't realize that it is happening... For years I listened to music while studying, and my results have improved out of sight since I 'turned my stereo off' as such. It's hard to give up the music at first, but it gets easier, and it is worth it.	"Listen to soothing, but invigorating music. I usually listen to Beethoven while I do mindless homework like math, French, or science assignments. It gets your brain pumping and flowing, and keeps you alert and awake."	When you're doing math homework, and not getting the right answer for a problem. Or when you're doing a math problem on a test and not getting a right answer, take out a blank sheet of paper (preferably with no lines) and solve the math problem in as many steps as possible. Make your handwriting big, so one problem covers the whole sheet of paper. when you write it really big like this, you will be able to see where you were making the mistake, or will make fewer mistakes. It has worked for me many times while doing homework.
This is a study TIP for you to help remember important quotes. Record the quote on your mobile phone or on a tape and whenever you have spare time you can listen to it as often as you can. Soon you will be able to perfectly recite the lines. If it sounds too boring you can always sing it and listen to it as a song. It might sound daggy but trust me it helps!	"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."	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).
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.	"A very helpful studying TIP is to rewrite your notes the same day you wrote them, if its possible right after class. If you do not rewrite them right away, maybe in the future you  will not understand what you wrote. Writing your notes a second time is also a way to understand the class lecture better. I have been using this TIP for a long time, and it has helped me to memorize information and organize my work."	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.
