Strategies For Academic Success

Utilize a planner or electronic calendar to set up your study sessions. Based on the weight of the paper, and the familiarity you have with the topic, plan your study sessions. This way, you can ensure that you are prepared with all the information before the last minute cramming.

4. Have Good Study Techniques: Learning the content and understanding what is being learned happens through having good study techniques. Apply active learning methods, like creating flashcards, summarizing key points, and teaching someone the concepts learned. Divide difficult material into smaller pieces and set concrete goals of what you will accomplish through the study session. Use practice exams or quizzes to measure what you know and what you still need to work on.

5. Proper Use of Time: Art of time management considers allocating the limited amount of time spent studying to try and make the best of all the commitments and interests. During times when you concentrate most, you should do concentrated study hours and avoid distractions as much as possible. You should take short breaks between study sessions to remain attentive and recharge. Prioritize your tasks and perhaps reschedule when necessary to consider events or changes in workload that you might not have anticipated.
