Just thought it would be great to start a thread on studying habits. People who have seen great results please respond and let us know how u study and what was effective for you. So others (like me) can take some pointers.

Replies bluegoddess09 Posted at 9:26 am on Nov. 17, 2009 I usually go to the study room and do problems on the whiteboard in very large handwritting. When I'm done I walk myself back through the problem, explaining to myself why I did each step. Helps me remember on the exam. If its a reading-oriented course, I have to form a picture in my mind for each piece of information I read; then I recite it without looking at my book. jerimiyah Posted at 7:16 pm on Nov. 16, 2009 i do cramming alot when i study which is a really bad a habit. I will need to change my habits and study a week before the exams. resumeedge deals jonspeaks22 Posted at 10:41 am on May 18, 2009 i go the library, take away all my distractions and just go for it..sometimes my music helps and coffee lol TigressaLynnMae Posted at 9:56 am on April 21, 2009 Everyone studies different. It took me three years, but I've found what works for me. I take thorough notes, during the lectures. Then, as soon as I get back to the dorm, I type the notes, on my computer. A few days later, I rewrite the basics, onto index cards. And, then when it comes to studying, I use the index cards, with the answers on one side, the questions on the other. I study about an hour per subject, every day. I suggest devoting, for every 3 credit course, two hours of studying a day, after the class. Don't just memorize. Apply. Studylikeachamp Posted at 3:07 pm on April 20, 2009 Proper studying requires proper planning.  When a test is on the horizon determine how many hours you need to gather your notes, put together an outline, and get your memorizing in. Then, look at the date of the test on the calendar, and work backwards to the current date.  In the free time on your calendar, set aside blocks of time in which you can complete all the tasks you need. This way, you make sure you have your hours alloted and you are not stressing at the last minute, or settling for just "winging it." markie g Posted at 11:57 am on April 9, 2009 organize your notes well, remember "key" or significant words in your notes. don't study for long periods at a time. find a place where you won't be distracted. angelkayla Posted at 9:49 am on Feb. 4, 2009 Post from this position was omitted due to content violations Dustin Posted at 11:15 pm on Feb. 1, 2009 When I actually study study I need to be in a library. carr1620 Posted at 12:11 pm on Jan. 6, 2009 When I study I usually go to the highest floor on my library and buckle down.
