How do you study better for school?

We Answered:

Do you actually understand the material you're going over? There are lots of things to memorize in science so I suggest having to write things on a note card because it helps you remember plus you can bring those note cards around you to study. Ask friends to help you study. Also testing your friends is a good way to help them and yourself. And if you feel distracted. Get up walk around, feel loose, blurry out everything and focus on what you're learning. Try to study in places with less noise. If you're really not getting it, ask your teacher is the best thing to do. Arrange a study session to further explain his/her material.

how can i study better for my ap us history class?

We Answered:

Pay attention in class. Go through the chapter each night, before a test give yourself at least 3 days to study in advance. Take post-it notes and basically sum up what the pages were about after every 5 pages or so. Write it down on a peice of paper, and study that throughout the day. Also, use past tests to kind of see what questions your teachers put on there. A lot of the times the answers will be on the test itself, listed in the form of another question. " Use the test to do the test. " Just take really good notes is basically all I can say. Why'd you go in AP anyways? :)

How can I get my son to study better independently?

We Answered:

I feel your pain totally. I am a single mom to two boys ages 9 and 11. On top of working and being in school MYSELF, the homework between all three of us is out of control and can literally take the entire evening to get through. However, I have some tips that may help you. I always make my boys do all of their homework on their own and if they think they answered something wrong or are having trouble with it, I have them put an asterick* by it, for me to go over with them. This keeps them moving along and then I can do the things I have to get done as well. As for studying tips, I am fond of the flashcard method, although that is sort of a form of "memorization." Depending on the subject you are talking about plays a part in it too. For example, if your child is studying spelling, have him break down the word into smaller recognizable words.....this works amazingly for both my sons, who are ADD and one has a learning disorder, respectively. So, if the word is "macaroni", I have them sound/break it down into smaller chunks....mac- a -ro- ni, and if its a word like baseball, i have them to picture association in their mind. Another thing that helps is to make even short or long trips in the car a time for learning. Every opportunity I get, I always try and teach my kids something. If you make it fun or interesting, even the most resistant learners will eventually start catching on. Good luck and hang in there.....And most importantly, be sure your child knows that you are seeing him do his best and that you stress to him the importance of an education....everything he is learning now are building blocks of harder things to come in future grades!!

Study the same way everyone else has that passed the test. Read the driver's manual until you know it from cover to cover. Also, if you go to google and type in 'Driver Test,' they have little tests you could do that would also help aide you in passing the test. Best wishes!

How can I study better and get better marks?

We Answered:

steps :

Get a good night's sleep. Being tired is a distraction.
Eat properly. Protein is the proper nutrient to keep carb-addicts from falling asleep. Add vitamins via salad fixings and you can become alert for the work ahead. If you really need to, drink an energy drink before studying.
Get in shape. If you are not fit, start getting fit, by just walking, at first, and then continue into strength-building, aerobics and flexibility exercises, such as yoga and Pilates. This should be done as suggested, at least 3 times a week, minimum of 30 minutes, but preferably 30-60 minutes a day of alternate physical concentration. After every 30 minutes of mental concentration, get up and do something physical like a few minutes of jumping rope, or wall ball.
Find a comfortable place to study make sure you've eaten, gone to the bathroom, and done anything else you need to do. However, if you are fatigued, be aware of a too comfortable an environment, or you may fall asleep.
Get rid of the distractions and get yourself immersed in the subject at hand. Have a deadline. If you don't have one, make one. Set goals for yourself and create rewards for yourself if you meet your goals.

Tips:

Everyone has a different way to study and some tips include highlighting, outlining, making flashcards, taking notes according to categories, and then memorizing those notes and categories, all depending on the subject matter. Review the material through the notes you have made, reading over that which you have forgotten. Taking good notes is essential if you want to get high grade. You can't rely on your memory.
Studying with a partner who is as serious about the subject as you can be a good motivator to work harder. Organize the study session into parts, review notes, outline the chapter, and discuss concepts. (Try to teach it to each other so that you are sure you both get it.)
Try to break formulas and concepts into mnemonics to help you remember them. For example if one wants to remember the notes of the treble clef lines in music, remember the mnemonic Every Good Boy Does Fine= E, G, B, D, F.
Where a chapter or subject lends itself to 4-6 different categories of information, write out a 3x5 index card with questions on one side and answers on the other. Put one question from each category on one side of the card and the corresponding answer on the other side. Then invite some friends from the class over to play History Trivial Pursuit. Same rules, your index cards.
Use graphic organizers (GOs) to organize the information that you want to study. Use the concept map, cause and effect diagrams, event organizers depending on what content you want to study. Check out and how to use them.
Music is okay, but keep it at a low volume. No hard metal music. You might have to experiment to find the level of noise that you can tolerate while you study and still focus.
Your attitude greatly helps the outcome of your studying: if you're mad at the world, you won't really care much about biology, and likewise, if you're so excited you can't breathe, you are not going to want to sit down and read about the Mesopotamian Era. Think about that and try to regulate your moods when it's time to hit the books (e.g. don't sign on to instant messaging to talk with your friends about that cute new guy ten minutes before you have to study the table of elements).
Study difficult material from a variety of sources. If the explanation in one book doesn't make sense to you another authors approach to explaining the topic may work.
After some time, your study habits will become a habit, and studying will be more enjoyable and easier to do (as anything in life). So set the study or practice time to suit your goals .

Warnings :

You may become addicted to studying for life and become what is known as a "perennial student", always trying to learn things. Being a perennial student may not be so bad after all, considering that a successful life demands that you be a student of it at all times.
Watch out for inclinations to procrastinate. For example, are you reading this article instead of studying? All your efforts will not lead to success, if you procrastinate, and you'll end up blaming your tools.

Things You'll Need :

A quiet room with plenty of air and light, which allows few if any interruptions and distractions.
A clock with an alarm in case you are writing sample essays that need to be timed, or in case you think you may fall asleep and miss an appointment.
A few energy drinks but be careful; you may crash later. Remember a couple of coffees is not going to be a replacement for a proper sleep
A Big Water Bottle, probably the item that is always forgotten, your body needs water to function and your brain is no different. Drinking plenty of water will allow you to concentrate better and will lessen the chances of you getting a headache. Generally speaking room temperature water is best, as cold water is likely to make you sleepy.
