What are some good study habits and tips?

• This spring semester will be my last semester in college. I know I should now know how to study but the truth is I don't. I'm lucky I passed this semester. What are some good study habits and tips y'all have? I don't want to stress this semester like I have the last 3.

• Answer:

  A major key is to avoid distractions while studying. The modern distractions are : - computers and the Internet - cellphones - TV - radio I always advise students to set aside at least two hours everyday to focus on their studies and ONLY on their studies. For those two hours, turn off ALL of your modern distractions. Find a quiet place where no one will interrupt your study time. Your only concern for those two hours is your studies. After that time is up, you are free to turn all your distractions back on. I also recommend that students study in the late afternoon or early evening. Studying right before going to bed is not as effective because the brain and body are tired from the day's activities.
