Study+Skills

To manage your time in a well managed way begin by setting goals for yourself at the beginning of the year. You might want to raise a certain grade id you'd like, figure out a specific grade that you want to work toward then figure out how much time you'll need to spend working toward that grade. You want to have time for more than studying, of course so i f your planning to be in sports or anything else you should have a calender. Make sure you have all the upcoming meetings and practices and put it in your calender, if some of your events overlap try to figure out which one you think is more important. Let's say you have a college interview at 6:00 and a en convention at 6:00 too, if i were you i think i would go to the college interview, but hey if you want to got to that pen convention and you think it's more important...... more power to you. But don't try to make a study time and think you have time for a sport after... make sure you know the time of all your events and record them in your calender. One question all students ask are,"How can I make the most of my study time? " Don't you think that the hours you have to study are the hours you want to be the most productive.... right? NOW, to study in a wise manner first you have to figure out what period of day is the best study time for you. Now ask yorself this, When is it easiest for you to focus? After you ask yourself that plan your study time and if you have anything else to do just postpone it to when your brain is tired. Now that you have a study time, you should probably start your difficult subjects first when your fresh. Study in blocks of 20 minutes or so with short breaks inbetween. If you do this you can concentrate for a while and anticipate the break you have planned. If you were to study continuesly you will tire and eventually will encourage you to waste time. If you have a test that will happen soon set up a special study plan. Set aside an extra hour,for exapmle, on the four consecutive days before the test. If you study in those times you won't need to cram all the information in the night before the test and not likely learn anything, and probably miss sleep. Being tired might affect your performance on a test as much as not studying at all.  If you learn this very special key of managing your time you can literally change you life.

o study.

2. As soon as you get home never ever make turning on the tv your first priority. When you get home you can eat, but after…..STUDY TIME!

3. Always choose a quite place… like your room for example. When your in close the door and warn everybody there that your studying.

4. Don’t even try to get comfy on the bed studying, watching tv…. it doesn’t work like that. I would suggest you work on the floor or on a desk in your room if you have one but don’t be tempted to use your computer desk I mean seriously you really think that you can sit there stitting right in front of a computer for more than 30 seconds no.

5. When studying make sure you have the main points of the chapter or section, then you can work from that.

6. Let’s say you’ve been working for about 30 minutes, you cantake a break and eat a snack but if you think your strong enought to resist the temptation to turn on the tv, because believe me i’ve been through it i didn’t turn off the tv till an hour later.

7. Once you get back to studying always use your textbook it’s always right and always has the answers there somewhere.

8. Also the most important point of studying if you think that for your test that it’s just to much, you should practically always write the question and the answer under it so on the day of your test you can have something to look back on.

P.S. If you have any questions at all about studying you can write to me, i will also be here 24/7 on the wiki.
