Tips for Studying

Kelvyn Perez

Mid term week is around the corner and this is the point that stressing out comes in handy. It is ridiculously hard to be studying while you can be on your phone or watching Bird Box like everyone else at the moment.

It takes a lot to get in a tone that allows you to study without any distractions. Here are some simple tips that literally anyone can follow to be successful at getting a good grade on your tests;

1. Get off your phone and put it away. The sooner you realize that your phone is a distraction the sooner you will be understanding the material that you’re studying for.
   
2. Eat and have a drink on hand. Being hungry and thirsty never leads to anything good in life and this includes studying. You need all the energy and brain power you need to do well
   
3. Stay organized. I recommend that at the end of every quarter you keep your material and notes in a folder so you can look at them later on. This will ensure that you won’t have any missing material.
   
4. Use your teachers and peers. Your peers and teachers will be willing to help you study if you just ask. It does not hurt to stay after school and ask questions because you will be worse off if you get left in the mud not understanding something.
   
5. Lastly, you are going to want to prepare accordingly. Making sure that you are studying with enough time and not cramming everything in will help you not mix up material and get you won’t stay up all night studying but instead studying and having enough time for everything else going on in your life.
   

At the end of the day, if you do what you need to and stay focused, you will do great on your exams!  Best of luck next week!
