i am in my 3rd year of college now and have more years to come. I find that going over the material before it is introduced by the prof. and going over the material withing 24 hours after it was introduced by the prof. Then when exam time comes around or pop quizzes you will be ready and have to do less studying.

If you are living on the campus, quite often, you & other friends can actually get together to do homeworks. Quite a lot of information on the course work get exchanged like that. Some colleges & univerisities, or even some of the departments within, also have a special student service for people who actually face problems like this. You are not alone in a situation like that, & that is why a college or university would actually allocate a part of their overall budget for a service like this. Also, quite often, if you go to your instructors & ask questions when you get stuck, they will see that you are making that effort, as well as get whatever help you need to carry on with the homeworks & studying. Never cram for an exam, or pull an all-nighter the night before one. As soon as you get out of the classes, you do need to make sure you do the homeworks instead of waiting until the last moments.

who just have to exert effort and give everything time. take time to read your notes and study your lessons. it's important that you understand the previous lessons for yo to understand current ones because most of them are just connected.=D
