Study Tips for Students

  • Manage your time by following a daily routine that includes time for homework, chores, and recreational activities.
  • Find a location that is free from distractions to do your homework each night.
  • Eat a meal or light snack before doing your homework.
  • Use a calendar or assignment planner to record due dates for homework, tests, practices, and other events.
  • Keep track of long term assignments such as projects and research papers by breaking them down into steps.
  • When you know you have an upcoming test, start studying in several days in advance instead of cramming the night before the test...you will remember the information better.
  • "To Do" lists are often helpful for staying organized.
  • Ask for help if you don't understand or have questions about your homework; you can ask a friend, parent, teacher, or a homework help line.
  • Do the most challenging assignments first, when you are less fatigued.
  • Take short breaks during your study time.
