How to take on college studying

Part 1

Develop good study habits

In college, you’ll need to build on the study skills that you learned in high school. The demands of a college class are probably more rigorous than those you are used to.

 Think college as a full-time job, in which you spend 40 hours a week on class, labs, study groups and doing homework.

Being organized and using your time well are essential. Learn more about time management, and use the guidelines below to develop your study skills.

Decide when to study

Work out about how many hours you need to study every day. Then make schedule

·    Figure out what blocks of time you have available throughout the day, in the evenings and on weekends.

·    Consider what time of the day you are most alert- there are morning people and night owls- and try to schedule your studying accordingly.

·Think about whether you do better studying for a few minutes at a time or sitting down for marathon sessions.
