1. Eat Right (Don't Skip Meals)\n2. Organize (don't just reread notes) create outlines from your notes & readings, organize the raw material you've collected all semester (this process in and of itself is a form of study)\n3. Study - again not just rereading, try testing your self (make up questions or see if your texts have questions at the end of chapters etc.)\n4. Sleep - staying up late cramming won't help it will actually decrease your ability to test well.  So get to bed and get some sleep\n5. Take a walk before the test, get the blood flowing and clear the mechanism (so-to-speak) this will help you.\n6. The standards (your first instinct answer is almost always right, but always go back and check your answers, make sure you read the question correctly, answered all parts of it etc.)\n7. When you finish a test, put it out of your mind (again, exercise can help you here) and move on to the next one.  Stressing over the result of a test that is finished can effect how well you do on the ones you haven't yet taken.\n\nGood Luck

1. Find a quiet place to study,\n2. Clear your study area of all distractions; and\n3. When studying, have all of the available study materials on hand to prepare for your exam.\nAll of them are brief rules to prepare for an exam, but that goes a long way to get you a passing score.

Remembering lots of information for a short period of time is something that most of us will remember when it came to our exams - whether past, present or future.\n\nSome people are much better than others at this and it seems it is innate, or so we believe.\n\nBut in fact some people just naturally use the best technique that is more effective than that used by others. Here is the best technique for this type of learning:\n\nFirst, never study for more than 20 minutes at a time. Do 20 minutes then a 5 minute break.\n\nAfter that break, think back and review what you learnt - that's the key step that really helps cement the key ideas in your mind, without that step your learning becomes much less effective.

1) LOTS OF COFFEE\n2) Often reading aloud can help you remember things more than reading them silently\n3) If you're working on something math or science related, try skipping problems and doing one or two per section, go back, and re-read the sections, paying close attention to definitions and formulas\n4) Get at least a little bit of sleep; remember you need 4 hours just to fuction, and a couple more can't hurt. Honestly a well rested brain will probably be able to piece together enough BS to at least pass the test, as opposed to a tired brain trying to cling to whatever it barely knows in between random shut-downs.

Take notes. Read into a tape recorder and then listen back to it later. Teach someone or something (your cat) the concepts you read (without looking at the book!). People learn in many different ways. Some are better verbal learners, some are better visual learners, some learn better by doing. By attacking your problem from multiple angles, you will succeed. Make sure you have the time to learn (turn off the TV, phone, and music and don't wait until the last second to study).

There are very good study tips already listed here. There are methods for different subjects and styles of learning. But one thing you might want to consider is how you learn. Are you a visual, auditory, kinetic, or mixed learner. If you are a visual learner here are some tips:\n- use graphic organizers (charts, maps, diagrams, etc.) to organize the information.\n- use pictures either in your head or drawn out. For example, If my students were studying culture, they might draw a bedroom with a poster of an artist on the wall, a shelf with books by famous authors, a cd player with cds of various musicians, etc. \n- use color. Perhaps you could put the major battles of one war in one color and another war in a different color. In foreign languages, try irregular verbs in red, regular verbs in green; Masculine objects in blue, feminine in pink, etc. \n\nIf you are an auditory learner try these tips:\n- have some one read it to you or read aloud and record it for play back at any time.\n- put it to music \n- say the important information aloud\n- put the information in story form (have fun with this: add voices, sound effects, accents, etc.) and tell someone \n\nIf you are a kinetic learner try this:\n- make up actions for important terms\n- act out or role play scenes and events\n- some of my students have made up cheers\n- just move around and find natural actions to match the concepts.\n\nMix and match - \nmake up songs with actions and picture the scenes in your head while you sing.\n\nMake it fun for yourself. I get bored easily. When I study I have to be creative and put it all in simplest form. Some of these things take time to do put you are learning and thinking the whole time. try the links below for more help.

Hey,\nI will tell you.\n1. Attending all the lectures.\n2. Review what you learned by the end of that day. Otherwise you have to spent twice as much, if you leave it for next week.\n3. have fun! Study only when you are at school. At home only have fun.\n4. form study group, that helps very much when you discuss the topic with friends.\n5. after some time you will enjoy studying.\nThat's what i did, i finished my master's with 3.77/4 and my PhD so far, 4.0/4.0\nhope that helped

Here are some that are listed where I go/went to school (I graduate in May!!!)\n\nHere is one of the things they mention. Go to the site for more info :-)\n\n\nSQ3R Study Method\n\nThe SQ3R method is the reading and studying system preferred by many educators. Reading research indicates that it is an extremely effective method for both comprehension and memory retention. It's effective because it is a system of active reader involvement.\n\nStep 1. "S"= Survey\nBefore you actually read a chapter, or go over a particular section of notes, take five minutes to survey the material. Briefly check headings and subheadings in order to understand the author's organizational pattern of ideas to be discussed. Scan all visual material. Read introductory and summary paragraphs. This preview will enable you to anticipate what the chapter is about.\n\nStep 2. "Q"= Question\nCreate interest in the material by asking: What are the main points of the chapter? As you read, keep the question in mind and figure out the most important points. It gives you a clearly defined purpose for reading, and helps you maintain interest in the material.\n\nStep 3. "R"= Read\nRead the chapter actively for meaning. Go through the paragraph before underlining, then underline key words and phrases to help you recall the main points. Be selective, you don't want to highlight non-important points or miss anything that can help your comprehension. Summarize main concepts in your own words in the margins. The more active you are in the reading process, the more you will retain.\n\nStep 4. "R"= Recite\nAfter every few pages, close your book and recite aloud the main points to the questions you posed in step 2. Try to recall basic details as to the author's intent by putting them in your own words. Verify your answer by checking the text. If you can't remember the text, read through it again. If you don't get it now, you won't remember it for a test. Take as much time as you need to answer your questions. Don't be frustrated, this takes more time but the information will be clearer in your mind.\n\nStep 5. "R"= Review\nFinally, review the chapter every so often to fix the material in your mind. Keep rereading your margin notes and underlinings. Verbalize the sequence of main ideas and supporting facts to aid retention. Numerous reviews are a lot more effective than one cramming session the night before an exam. Review once right after you've finished reading and then every couple of days.\n\nThe SQ3R is time consuming at first, expect it to take ten to fifteen percent longer to read a given chapter when you first begin. Research indicates a 70% increase in retention after two months of using the system and, eventually, a reduction in time spent preparing for exams.\nhttp://www.gmu.edu/departments/csdc/study.htm

"My own study TIP that has always worked for me is to lock my self in the room and focus. With the only sound of me reading and no one bothering me, I can understand the reading a lot better. If I start thinking about something else I get up and eat something then I'll come back to it."\n\nMy study TIP is simple. I follow the survey technique in which I scan through the chapters first, then read and summarize. I usually find a place where it is quiet  (like the library, backyard or any corners of my house) and comfortable.\n\n I would like to recommend is to deal with anything that is getting in the way of your success. Say for example, you're trying to study but you keep thinking of something else. Then do what you have to do to deal with it and then get to studying with a cleared mind."\n\nthree simple steps in order to succeed in studying.\n1. Play some relaxing music (whatever music you enjoy listening to) before studying to clear my mind of everything.\n2. Concentrate on what I'm studying when I begin to study, and do that throughout the process of studying.\n3. Review it over orally to see if I actually remember what I studied, to see if I'm ready for that particular test.\nAlso, if the test is on Wednesday morning, I would study the night before, a few hours before I sleep. Since it would be fresh in my mind. Then an hour before the test, I will study for a second time just to make sure I'm completely ready. I've been doing this type of studying all my life, and it hasn't failed me. If this helps you, more power to you. If not, well hey everyone has their own methods of studying. Whatever works for you.\n\nBefore studying, I advise other students to eat a light snack, nothing heavy or else you'll be falling asleep from being too full. Also, it's very important to get rid of internal distractions (something that is bugging your head, i.e. making a phone call, chores, picking up a few things at the store)...do those things right away so that you'll be concentrating on your studies.

Here are some tips that work best for me.  Hopefully they will work for you too.\n\nIf you have one exam to study, divide the work up into small "chunks".  This will improve your chance of remembering the information.  Study for only about an hour at a time.  Often times if you study past an hour, the information will be a big blur and difficult to comprehend and remember.  You may always study more, but give yourself a break.\n\nIf you have more than one exam, follow the tips above.  Just make sure you are studing all of the subject areas everyday.\n\nHope that helps,\n\nAlex

Well, the best way to study for math, is PRACTICE. I often like to think of math as learning how to play an instrument. Very few people will be classical piano virtuosos without practice. \n The best way to study for history is to learn the facts and find ways to retain those facts.\nThe best way to study for Science, is daily practice and make sure you understand the concepts especially those things that were covered in class. \n The best way to study for English is to read ALOT. Often, one's writing style sometimes mimic what you read.\n  The key thing here is PRACTICE, that is why teachers assign homework.

do you mean\n"by which methods do we learn best?"\n\nsuch as: lectures, reading, video, TV   etc

The way i like to study for a test is to read the material, think it through, and then try to write it down in point form. this is good because i will see what i cant remember, and the pointers can be used as a review.
