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 3 "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."
Jason
|
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 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 8 "Depending on the type of class, taking notes on a PowerBook computer has helped me immensely.
•It makes my notes readable & printable.
•My notes are saved in a retrievable place for the class and to use as
citations for papers in other classes-(make sure you date your notes for
this purpose).
•Professors and other students think you are smarter and more attuned to
learning, just because you have a PowerBook in front of you, and will
pay more attention to your questions. Other students will want to share
their notes because they can read yours.

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."

TIP 10
"I'm recently starting year 12, I'm trying to get organized, I found
your Tips very helpful. Though there are many other useful techniques,
one of the best is teaching others what you have learned. I found when I
helped others with questions I would gain a better knowledge of what I
learned. I have also learned from my experience from year 11, that just
studying a couple days before is not really studying but cramming.
Therefore to gain better marks you have to study months before. Using
flow charts, making notes simples, that's what summaries are supposed to
be. My friend also gave me a study hint, though yet to be proven, she
said the color yellow helps you remember things better, she always uses
yellow paper for studying." Anna

TIP 11
"I have a TIP for you. Students should try to study as much as they can
during daytime hours. When I study, I usually try to study during
daytime, From my personal experience, study during the day time is much
better than study during night time. I remember things better during
daytime and I tend to not to slack off as much during daytime.
Sometimes, there are less distraction for me during the daytime and I
found myself more awake, even if I feel sleepy, take a 20~30 minute nap
to recharge your energy. You should only study everything at night only
if it's absolutely necessary, (i.e., due to work, after school
activities,...etc.) besides, study as much as possible would usually
reduce yourself from getting stress out at night time. Best of all, it
would prevent you from staying up all night!" Paul
|
TIP 12 "I
am currently half way through my year 12, but I have talked to many
students who have finished year twelve as well as teachers for study
hints. The things that I have already put into practice, and have
gotten very good results from is to write out my own study guide from
the syllabus (this makes you understand the concepts you are
summarizing, as well as putting the information into your long-term
memory.)
|
TIP 13 "I
have found through personal experience that by separating all of my
different classes from one another by using different notebooks for each
(different colors works good for me), I am not only more organized but
more likely not to wander away from that subject when studying. A
friend told me it's my subconscious. That I associate the notebook with
that class and it helps me to concentrate on it alone. No matter what
the reason is, it helped me boost my grades tremendously and learn a
whole lot more then I had been before." Meranda
|
TIP 14 "Keycards
are great study aids. You summarize your notes for the subject by each
topic then you summarize the summary so that you have the key ideas and
points for each topic. These you write down on cards under each topic
heading. Put them in a small ringbinder and carry them with you. Then
you can flip through them while waiting in a queue or waiting at your
desk for a class to start. These quick flip-throughs of all the major
points keep facts alive in your memory ready for recall in the exam."
Jackie

TIP 15 "This is especially for my geography class because there is a lot of writing involved!
I've found that writing notes in shorthand (e.g. people=ppl) and going
home that night while it is still fresh in the memory and typing it out
longhand on the computer helps to memorize or keep the info in the brain
because for people that constantly look up at the screen are rereading
what they have typed. I don't know if this is a good study method but it
works for me!" Diane
|
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 17
"A good study TIP that I have found works quite well is to read the
material to be covered in a lecture beforehand, and as you are reading
create an outline, leaving plenty of space. Take this outline to the
lecture and add to it new information the teacher gives, highlight on it
things that you already have listed that are things she stresses as
important. I type my outlines and type in blank lines using the
underscore key so that they are easier to add to and because it being
typed makes it easier to tell the difference between the information
that came from the textbook and the information that came from the
teacher

TIP 18 Hello,
"I'm a college student. The Cornell note taking system works best for
me. It is easier to understand the notes on the Cornell paper. The web
site about the Cornell System is http://www.sanborn.k12.nh.us." Alexis

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 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 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 27 "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." Angelina
|
TIP 41 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. No name given.
|
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 54
Read – How to Read text Effectively
This method of absorbing material in three passes is useful for many
students. It is a way of tackling each section of the text in a specific
and analytical way, with ways to test knowledge and assist a student in
retaining new knowledge.
|
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.

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 59 Always,
always, always get enough sleep. Once you feel as though you've had a
good night's sleep, tiredness won't get in the way of your studies. If
you didn't get enough sleep for the day, you'd most likely spend most of
your time dozing off in lecture than concentrating and even if you
don't doze off, you'll continuously lose interest in the subject and the
next thing you know, you can't recall anything that the lecturer just
said!
|
TIP 60
I find this useful when preparing for essays or answering exam
questions. I divide or "chunk" the key parts of the question. I then
describe each "chunk". In this way I fully understand what the question
wants from me and I don't wander off task. All the preparation has been
made and I then just write the answer using 1 paragraph for each chunk.
|
TIP 61 Hello. I am a student from Singapore. I'd like to share two study tips.
Eating brain food helps to aid better studying. One example is banana.
Have a brain food as a snack instead of sweets or chocolates helps, as
it contains proteins.
|
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
