Write down important dates and information on a calendar or in an agenda to keep track of class times, exams, and other important dates. This helps you stay organized and ensure you make it to your classes and tests on time.
Sign up for extracurricular activities during your time at school. Getting involved with campus publications, drama club or other extracurricular activities during your time at school can help boost your self-esteem and morale, and enhance your intellectual and social development.
Read books on study strategies to gain knowledge on effective learning habits. Learning new tips and tricks on how to study can help you maximize your academic success.
Listen to your teachers and pay attention during class. Do not text or talk on your phone, read magazines, or otherwise occupy yourself. Arrive promptly for class, follow along with your lessons and take notes throughout.
Plan your study time. Set a schedule to study for shorter periods of time each day rather than waiting until the last minute and trying to cram a wealth of information all at once. This will help you study more effectively and retain the information better. Following a schedule helps you stay organized and use your time wisely.
