STUDY SKILLS

You have to develop many different


types of skills to be a successful student.
WHAT SKILLS DO YOU WANT TO
WORK ON?
 Studying
• Getting Organized
• Managing Time
• Taking Tests
• Taking Notes
• Managing Stress
STUDY SKILLS
 Find your own quiet place where you
can concentrate on your work.
 Sit in a comfortable chair (not too
comfortable, though or you could
end up asleep).
 Avoid distractions like the TV and try
to ignore the telephone. Your friends
can leave a message!
 Play quiet background music. It
might help you stay focused.
 Study with a friend or a group of
friends. Compare notes and ask each
other questions.
STUDY SKILLS
 Know your learning style and study in a
way that best matches it.
 Take short but frequent breaks.
 Relate what you're studying to things you
already know. This helps you remember
information more easily.
 Start with the most difficult tasks or
assignments to focus maximum
brainpower on the things that are hard.
Then move on to the easier tasks.
 Plan to spend more time (not less) on the
subjects that are harder for you.
STUDY SKILLS
 Focus on the quality of your study time. It's
much more important than the quantity.
 Get into the habit of studying every day.
 Determine your best study time and plan
to study at that time every day.
 Think of homework as practice, not work. It
takes practice to get better at sports or
music or cheerleading. This is the same.
STUDY SKILLS
 Ask questions if you're not sure about
something. Asking questions is one of the
most effective ways we learn!
 After each study session, try to recall the
main points and as many details as
possible.
 Reward yourself when you're done. Plan a
fun activity or just relax.
ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS
 Use outlines, charts, or flashcards to
help you organize and learn new
material. You'll be reviewing the
material as you make these tools.
And, you'll have them to use later
when it's time to study for tests.

 Create a planner to keep track of


work assignments, tests, and
projects. Write in your planner every
day so it becomes a habit!
ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS
 Organize your notes and work assignments
by subject in separate notebooks and
folders.
 Keep a "To Do" list. Write down things you
need to do. Then decide what you need to
get done right away and what can wait
until later.
TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLS
 Plan ahead and stick to a schedule.
 Decide what you want to accomplish
and how long you will spend on each
subject or assignment.
 Break your workload down into
manageable chunks.
 Don't procrastinate (that's a big word
that means putting things off).
 Be aware of things that distract you
or waste your time, and keep them
to a minimum.
TEST TAKING SKILLS
 Know what type of test you'll be
taking (essay, multiple choice, true/
false, matching, etc.). It's likely that
test questions will be similar to the
work you have done.
 Don't cram. It's OK to spend extra
time studying but don't try to learn
everything in one night.
 Get plenty of rest the night before
test day.
 Don't panic. If a question is too
hard, miss it out and come back to it
later.
NOTE TAKING SKILLS
 Focus on the main ideas. Don't try to write
down everything the teacher says.
 Use your own words.
 Keep your notes organized. They will be as
important as the textbook.
 Review your notes every day. This will
make things easier to remember when it's
time to study for the test.
STRESS MANAGEMENT SKILLS
 Don't worry about the little things.
Prioritize your activities and focus on the
most important ones.
 Exercise. It takes your mind off things that
are bothering you.
 Take care of yourself. Eat properly and get
enough sleep.
DETERMINATION
