Personally the best way i study is to essentially re write everything i find important. Things like notes from the lecture of important parts of the the testbooks. By doing this is reinterate what i should have leanr the first time. I find this really great becasue i can carry around these important notes in my notebook and just constnatly look them over and build on them.

You need to first take notes in class. Take down every important detail that will help you. Listen well to the teacher and try to understand everything he or she says. Then, when school is over, do everything that you needed to do, then study. Concentrate on what you're studying and don't let your mind fly. Also, try your best not to sleep. Stress is a barrier to learning. Remember that. Study everything that you took down. Remember the teacher's discussions. And if you have the time, research about the topic on different sources. Dictionaries, encyclopedias, almanacs, and even the internet. That's what I do. Good luck!!!

Honestly, pay attention in class, take good notes, do the reading, do the homework, and you shouldn't need to study to pass the exams. When I take a course I don't study, because if I've been doing the work all along I shouldn't have anything to worry about. I think a big thing is to also schedule in your reading and homework time. For me, it worked to relax for an hour after class, eat dinner, and then do homework for as long as I needed to. Getting into the habit of a certain really helped me not dread it so much, and prevented interruptions.

The best way to study is to complete assignments and readings throughout the semester, not try to "cram" for exams. Here are some tips: Take notes in class. Studies show that writing activates more memory centers than listening alone. After class, review the notes and/or rewrite them within 24 hours if possible. Complete any assigned readings and exercises. Arrive at class early and review last week's notes. Several weeks before the exam, schedule extra hours of study time. Divide the material into sections, and complete one section each week. Many people find reading notes out loud, or recopying them, effective. Try to think up questions about the material, or use practice tests online or in your text. Have a friend or relative quiz you on the material. Once you are sure you know a certain section of the material, cross it off your notes and continue to study your weaker areas. Be sure to get at least 8 hours of sleep the night before the test, and eat a balanced, high-protein meal. I know it sounds like a lot of work, but it's effective
