Joel,
The way I study may not work for other people. When I used to study for school, my TV was on and I was watching ESPN and I would study at the same time. Most people like to study in a quiet area or some people like to form a study group. I did a study group before and it was pretty cool. I learned the information and I got the chance to meet new people. Another way to study is to get a tutor for one-on-one lessons. Let me know if this helps you out and keep me posted.

Here are a few ways that have worked for me:
- Break the task down into manageable chunks A big task, such as writing a dissertation, or revising for an extended period, can be demotivating because it seems so big. Breaking the task down into manageable chunks can therefore help make it seem less daunting.
- Keep your end goal in mind but also use interim goals on the way. One of the best ways to stay motivated is to remember why you are studying in the first place.
- Get into a study routine. It is generally easier to stay motivated if your studying becomes part of your everyday life and routine.
- Don’t let your studying take over your life. When you start a long course of study, whether a degree course or a period of study for professional exams, it can feel like it is all-important. This is especially true when exams loom. However, it is important not to allow your studying to take over your life.
I hope that you find value in these.

Daily!! As you do your homework or prepare for the next day in class, read over your notes from that day as well as previous days. You will be surprised what you retain. Redundancy is what you are going for. You will be surprised how little you will have to study the night before the test.
Thank you for answering my question.

One thing that I did was, for everytime I had an exam coming up, I would read over my notes every day for an entire week up to exam. I would always make sure I read my notes before going to bed.
Thxs for the help.
