One very good tip is to listen. This is a good tip because if you listen to what the teacher says it can often help you to cut out unnecessary studying to the subject. \n\nWhen studying make sure that there is little no distractions in the room - this can include TV or Music or siblings.\n\nSkim over the text briefly before studying to fix what it is about in your mind. Look at the headings and see if you know what is discussed under each one.\n\nStudy in sections. After each section quiz yourself on two or more points and also at the end of your study period.\n\nHope that is of some help...

Here are some tips from my upcoming book called Get Smart!\n\n1) Nothing replaces effort. Most smart kids work hard in school and at home. \n\n2) Communicate with your teacher. Ask him or her what you need to do to get an "A" and tell them that's your goal. Make them give you detailed feedback on your work so that you can make improvements. Participate in class. Sit in the front of class if your teacher lets you. \n\n3) Organize! You probably have an agenda with your assignments. Keep it neat, up to date, and use it every day. Many kids lose points because they lose work or fail to turn it in on time. \n\n4) When you study for tests, first figure out what you know, then concentrate your study time on what you don't know. You want to use your time efficiently.\n\n5) Get help. If you seem to be spinning your wheels or hopelessly lost, ask your teacher, your parents, or another student for help. Your teacher is probably your best source, but oftentimes other smart students and your parents can help you too.\n\nGood luck!\n\nRon Dietel

Buy yourself your favorite chocolate. Leave it out where you can see it and make a contract with yourself that you cannot eat ANY of it until you've finished, say, one subject.\n\nOr make a contract allowing yourself to go shopping and buy a new outfit when you're done with everything. I sometimes find it useful to actually write up the contract.  :o)  Ha ha.\n\nAnd just think how proud you'll feel (and how proud your teachers will feel) tomorrow when everything's finished and looks wonderful!

Put aside a certain amount of time each night to work on your classes. Try to become organized. Make a folder on your computer labeled School and keep all of your work in that one folder. \n\nDon't let yourself fall behind...it's horrible trying to catch up. Don't wait until the very last minute to do anything or you will get stressed out. That's probably the most important thing.  \n\nTry to keep it spread out so you only have to do a little at a time...it won't seem so daunting that way!

If the stories are full length, you don't have time to read them all tonight.  I suggest skimming them and (this is BAD and I DISAPPROVE of it but in your case it might be necessary) check out the cliff notes (or some similar site that gives summaries) on them.  If you're a fast reader, or even if you're not, you should give yourself a few hours to get familiar with the texts.  But unless your class is first thing in the morning, DON'T pull an all-nighter because you will feel the effects and will not be able to concentrate.  This may sound cliché, but you need a few hours of sleep and a good breakfast the day of the test.  And next time, don't wait until the last minute!

I gave this same basic answer to another question, but I think it will help:\n\n-Do your homework as soon as you get home so you can spend time doing other things at night (i.e. playing on the computer, talking to friends, spending time with family, etc).\n\n-Work on big projects in steps. Set up an outline of what you need to do to get the project done. For example, for a science project, set up a deadline for when you will figure out you topic, when your research will be done, when you will experiment, when you will gather results and conclusions, and when you will put together your final report.\n\n-Buy a 1/2" three ring binder for every subject you will be taking and put at least four dividers in each binder. Label one "Class Notes," one "Handouts," one "Homework," and one "Tests/Quizzes." Make a calendar of important dates for each class and place the paper in the front pocket of each notebook (put dates for tests, quizzes, and due dates for homework and projects on the calendar).\n\n-Clean out your backpack once a week. It's amazing how much paper can accumulate at the bottom of your backpack...and how it often sucks in important homework assignments.\n\n-Get involved in clubs that interest you or try out for a sport if you're interested in athletics. If you like sports but maybe aren't good enough to be on a Varsity of Junior Varsity team, try signing up for a recreational league in your community. Also, if you have any interest in religion, most religious communities have teen groups that go out on small field trips or watch movies together.\n\n-Think of middle schoolers as a bunch of penguins.  Most talk the same, act the same, and look the same. Don't be a penguin.  Make sure you're being true to yourself in the things you do.  Make friends with people who let you be yourself.  There's no better person to be.

turn off tv and radio. stay away from noisy environment. keep temperature at a comfortable cool. give in to distracting thoughts for fifteen minutes (as in write down everything that comes to your mind--as in anything!). then mentally tell yourself, i will go back on all these as soon as i finish my homework. it works! try it!

It is good you are trying to get things together for yourself.\n\nTo get to school on time, prepare everything the night before. Have your clothes picked out, your breakfast picked out, your books in your backpack, etc.  Set your alarm clock and put it across the room so you will have to get out of bed to make it stop ringing.\n\nTo stay clean and neat, put away everything you used after you used it.  Don't leave school for the day if your thing are messy.  Tell your teacher you are trying to stay neat and clean and ask her if he or she can help you.\n\nGood job for trying to better yourself. You should be proud!

get a planner...write down all your assignments before they are due...make note cards to help you study...take notes in the margins of your books...(if you bought the books)...get a notebook for each class...write the title of the class, the day, and time on the front of the notebook...get a calendar and write down the dates and times of your finals ahead of time so there are no surprises...just stay focused...don't try to do too many things at once...take 20 minute study breaks and do something fun...then get back into it...you shouldn't study for more than an hour for each subject...take breaks and come back to it...if you have a test study right before you go to sleep and then don't think about it anymore...hope these tips help...

make sure you know what's going to be on the final so u don't end up spending all of your time studying something that's not gonna be on the test. you might want to ask your teacher for a study guide or a general idea of what the test is going to be like. make sure you know if the test is going to be mutiple chose, matching, fill in the blank..etc. that way u know how hard to study because if it's all multiple chose...u probably won't have to study as hard. if u have to memorize things then use acronyms (i think that's how u spell it) or other memonic devices. also make ur studying fun and think up of fun ways to remember things so that way on the test you'll remember how to do it...just make sure u study and good luck on the test!! :)

Spread your time wisely....give each test, maybe about 1 hour, that way you can get it all done. Do the most important tests first, so that way, the last tests, you don't have to study as much because you already have the info down...

Look at it piece by piece. Decide which homework is due first and put them in that order. Then if you are still having problems decide which one will be the quickest to finish. It helps me to get the small stuff out of the way so I have more time for the larger projects. Hope this helps.
