Are you a procrastinator? Needing better study habits?

The most common problem in high school and college is how to study correctly, and finding out what works for you.

Many people have this problem, but do they ever know what to do about it?

The most important part of studying is just setting aside time each day to do your studying and homework and find a spot that has a lot of light and is comfortable, without distraction.

I'll make it simple for you.

If you are a visual learner, you learn from seeing it in a picture or from colors then try these suggestions.
  • Try making the graph your teacher drew on the board, and put it into your notebook so you can look at it to study.
  • Try printing the graph from your book on a scanner and put it on your flashcards.
  • Put each topic/ chapter in a different color. This helps the brain connect the ideas.
  • Highlight the most important items for test in the same color so you know what to look for.
If you are a hands on learner, you learn from physically touching something.
  • Try using real life objects when looking at your notes. ex: if your problem in math has to do with counting, either adding or taking away, use candy so you can touch and move the candy.
  • If you are having troubles in science then go and explore the object. Or ask to borrow a 3d model.
  • If you're having trouble in Spanish/ language class, make flash card and put them on the objects that translate to the word. Ex: La Mesa - table, so place the la mesa card on the table.
If you are an auditory learner, you learn from hearing it.
  • Try really listening in class and have your teacher explain what they are talking about.
  • Talk about it with your friends
  • While studying read it out loud to yourself repeatedly 
Other kinds.
  • Try making acronyms for the words you are studying
  • Make the words into a song
  • Make the words into a story
These are just a few ways to help people study, maybe you don't study in any of these ways. But these are the most common and why not try them out?

Stay Beautiful <3
