Learn how to study more efficiently.

Here are some good study habits for you to consider practicing:

Make a daily schedule listing all activities, including study time.
Avoid spending too much time on low-priority routine tasks and not enough time on important ones. Evaluate each activity on your list according to its priority and periodically review your priorities during the day.
Plan study times for when you are most alert. Sessions of about one hour with five- to ten-minute breaks are most effective.
If you have an hour between classes, find an empty classroom in an academic building and do some studying or reviewing!
Avoid procrastination. Begin your work as soon as you can.
Study in a quiet place free from distractions.
Try to study in a space that is adequately lit and not too warm.
Take breaks during your study sessions. Get up, walk around, eat a snack, and make sure that you get away from your study area for at least 5 minutes.
