Study Skills – Tips and Strategies

Being successful in school requires knowing and believing in yourself, working hard and asking for help when you need it.  Using your class time well is a start, but a regularly scheduled homework time is also recommended.  In both environments, it is important to make sure it is quiet (background music may/may not help some to focus) and uncluttered.  You should also make sure you have good lighting and are comfortable. Here are some more specific tips to consider:

  • Organization:  Use a student planner and keep your binders, folders, locker and backpack neat; arrange for study buddy (someone you can call if you are absent or stuck on a question/assignment)
  • Time Management:  Plan ahead to balance activities and social/family time with studying and homework
  • Preparedness:  Be in class on time; adapt to different teachers; make sure homework is done and submitted on time; sit near the front; communicate with your parents and teachers; contribute to class discussions and group work; get enough sleep, exercise and good nutrition
  • During Class:  Listen, take legible notes, pay attention for key ideas
  • Reading Text:  Scan (pay attention to subtitles, words in bold/italic, summaries, questions), read and review
  • Studying:  Set priorities, take breaks, study with a friend, highlight notes
  • Tests:  Make sure you are studying what is important, ask Who? What? When? Where? Why? How?; review often and read out loud; use cue cards and memory tricks (like acronyms); take deep breaths and use positive visualization; leave difficult questions for the end; on multiple choice tests, read all answer choices and eliminate choices you know are incorrect; read true/false questions carefully (one word can often make a big difference); on essay questions, make a rough outline, use a topic sentence, use specific examples and details, summarize in your conclusion; check over your answers
