学业成功中心

学生 learn differently, and it is safe to say that they study differently, too. Research over the years has identified a handful of well-founded techniques that will not only help students to remember the content/information for exam day, but also help them to retain the information learned throughout the semester for years to come.

1. Make a plan for when to study for each course...avoid ineffective, last-minute cramming.
2. Make a plan of what to study for each course...teachers often give final exam study guides.
3. Break study sessions for each exam into chunks
4. Spend most of the study time preparing and a little time reviewing.
5. 研究 actively instead of passively (rewrite notes in a different organization system instead of re-reading notes and chapters).
6. Plan to concentrate for reasonable periods of time (2-3 hours) with breaks.
7. Work on more than one subject rather than a single subject over the course of an evening.
8. 研究 difficult subjects or subjects with low interest first while you are still fresh.
9. Vary your study locations to help the brain connect with information.
10. 避免分心...cell phone, Snapchat, Instagram, 脸谱网, 推特).
11. Be aware of information that you don't understand so that you can ask your teacher for clarification before exam day.
12. Review study materials right before the exam.
13. On exam day, look over the whole exam first and jot down notes to relieve stress.
14. On exam day, divide up the exam mentally by the clock to stay on task.
15. 最后, review your work and make sure that you have the best answers, don't concern yourself with when other students finish the exam.
