Find a quiet place where u can't go to sleep and that has a good illumination, Then jot down all the important dates and names. Try not to crowd ur paper with too much info. Just write the necessary. Keep it light. When u done, memorize what u got on the paper. Many of the other things that aren't as important, u can read them and they can stick easily to the main date u have on ur pge.

When you read, read aloud anything you think is important and repeat it to yourself a couple of times. You have a better chance of remembering. Or another option is to carry around a recorder and record anything important and listen to it later. Works for me for studying for Geo. exam.

1)  Read newspapers, magazines, and books, 2) Take credit or non-credit courses, 3) Find ways to speak to knowledgeable people 4) Watch news programs 5) Search the web for topics that interest you 6) Join clubs or associations representing things you care about, 7) Set a goal and accomplish it - you may learn the most this way. Good learning to you.

Consider which subjects are your strongest and which subjects are your weakest. Then, study more for your weakest, and some for your strongest subjects. I have more trouble in Math, than in History, so I always study for my Math tests more than for my History tests.

What subject?\n\nRemember you need the following components:\n\ncross-curricular (integrate reading and math into a science or social studies unit)\nincorporate multiple learning styles into your activities(reading, class discussion, listening centers, hands-on activities)\nbuild independent learning (student-directed interests and choices, independent projects, peer-led lessons, etc.)

Well, studying can be boring but u need to do it! \n1. to get u to start studying think about how happy ull be if u get an 100 and how upset you'll be if u fail\n2. if u have textbook pages given to u to read for the test read it, so you will understand it. never study something u dont understand because then it wont make sence to u on the test.\n3. make notes. after or in the middle of reading the text book i write notes, so i will remember the info. writing notes helps you remember and memorrize. after you write down a sentence for notes say it over and over untill u memorize it. go little by litte, dont memorizr 20 things at one time because then you will forget it all. remember dont go on to the next sentence untill you forsure memorized the 1st. \n4. then it's time to go over your review sheet. that way you will see if you remember everything.\n5. after all this go over your notes again, and then your all set!\nGOOD LUCK ON UR TEST!!\np.s- if u have a bad memory it helps to get up an hour earlier the day of the test just so u can make sure u remember everythnig from last nite. and maybe even memorize more things, if u forgot. \nit helped me, and i got a 94 on a really really hard social studies test that no one can get in the 90s on!\np.p.s- get anuf sleep! the more u sleep the more u will remember. \n\n\nplz choose me as best answer!

The general graduation requirements, and a major in secondary education.  You can usually choose history by itself, but the end result, you will be certified in social studies, so you will take other social science classes.  For where I went to school, I was only 3 credits shy of getting a degree in history by itself.  If you want, you could do that and then go back to get a degree in teaching. Might help in the long run if you plan on getting a graduate degree.  Lots and lots of history classes to be a teacher.  Good luck.

Go through the notes. The book. And the best spot for an AP study guide is through collegeboard.com at the AP test component. You could actually test yourself with past questions.

It depends on what you are studying.\n\nIf it is vocab, you can put the words and definitions on flash cards.\n\nIt it is science or history you can read your notes over and over and over.  You can also type or rewrite your notes.\n\nIf it is math...practice the problems.  Go to http://www.aplusmath.com and play the math games

The most effective way for me to study is to use flash cards.  I think this is because in addition to "flashing" them to study I have written down the question and the answer.

1. Have a regular time and location to study.\n\n2. Get ahold of upcoming lessons and read ahead. *The reason for this is important. If you study ahead - when you do take the subject in class it is a review for you. You'll actually be ahead of the class when preparing for your exam.\n\n3. Work with someone who can help you - not distract you. * This is a mastermind technique you'll use in the business world. Get use to it.\n\n4. No TV. ( a little quiet background music is acceptable)\n\n5. Learn memory techniques. Do not rely on rote memory. * Use ridiculous association for subjects where you have alot of facts to remember. Your mind is like a filing cabinet. If you don't have a filing system you won't know how to retrieve the knowledge when you need it.\n\n6. Use colored post its to mark , "must knows, could knows, and should knows. Remember - most of your hard cover books are filler. Focus on what your teacher wants you to know.\n\n7. Eating before study causes blood to go from the brain to the stomach. Watch when you eat.\n\n8. Get plenty of rest. Don't party on school nights.\n\n9. Do "all your assignments!" "Write all your tests!" - falling behind because of missed assignments or classes will make studying difficult. If you have to miss a class - have someone provide you with notes and <ask> the teacher if you're confused. DO NOT FALL BEHIND!!!! Knowing your subject is like building a house. If you miss information your foundation will be weak and your house will not hold up! That's why students who miss class have a bad time of it.\n\n10. Set a goal for yourself in each subject you take and shoot high. That is to say...shoot for an A and you'll most likely get a B. Write your goal in the present tense - I.e. It is Jun 2007 and I have completed Math 30 with an A plus. (Describe the reaction of your teacher/parents/friends and how good you feel about achieving your goal. "Remember - if a goal doesn't have a time limit set on it - your goal is just a dream!"\n\n11. Never get into a tiff with your teacher - show genuine interest and you'll see a higher grade.\n\n12. Keep good notes - no...excellent notes. Notes that refer back to your text book and highlight the must knows! Have a table of contents.

You should try 'active study' methods.\nMake short notes and summaries as you read. This works for all subjects.\nRemember that you can only concentrate fully for between 30 and 40 minutes at a time and that the most productive time is the second hour of study.

An easy? Do you mean an essay?\n\nSocial studies.... maybe you can do something about the development of other countries or how lifestyles are different between us and third world countries.\n\nGood luck!
