What's a good way to get into a habit of study?

I've never been one to study, just pay careful attention in class. I want to get into studying since the end of the semester is coming up and colleges will be asking for my grades.

Andrew’s Answer

Start studying on day 1 if you can, its a race to identify what questions you have / concepts you don't understand so that you can go to office hours / ask the teacher / teaching assistant for help. Don't let questions pile up as soon as you don't understand something ask for help.

You will need to focus on stress and time management. In order to manage stress you have to manage your time wisely. <span style="background-color: transparent;">You have to set a routine for yourself and stick to it for the most part. Once you get into the groove of a routine it will be much easier for you to manage your time and have enough time for everything you need to do (including relaxing). Make yourself to-do lists on a weekly basis, use Google calendar or a planner to keep track of events, deadlines, and due dates. In addition to setting a routine and sticking to it, plan out relaxing activities into your day. Or set aside a time, after everything is done for the day, that you can have "me" time. I have also personally found it essential to not only find time for myself but also make use of that time in a way that is best for me and my holistic wellness. I have found the HeadSpace app to be an essential tool in helping me relax and generally feel more relaxed throughout the day, Guided meditation, even if you have a busy schedule, will make you feel more at ease and relaxed throughout the day as a whole (not just when you have the time to relax and focus on that "me" time).</span>

<span style="background-color: transparent;">Set a routine.Use Google Calendar.Set aside Me TimeWrite weekly to-do lists and use a planner.Find a peaceful and restful activity that will help you feel relaxed.</span>

<span style="background-color: transparent;">Here is how to be successful in them:</span>


  1. <span style="background-color: transparent;">Stay on track - do assignments early, finish things a head of time, and be aware of all of your deadlines</span>
  2. <span style="background-color: transparent;">do all the the assignments and read all of the coursework required- do not cut corners</span>
  3. <span style="background-color: transparent;">use Google calendar to keep track of deadlines</span>
  4. <span style="background-color: transparent;">communicate with your professor early if something comes up</span>
  5. <span style="background-color: transparent;">do not be afraid to ask for an extension if you need one</span>
  6. <span style="background-color: transparent;">study, and study a lot! you don't have regular class sessions so you will need to put in more work at home.</span>
  7. <span style="background-color: transparent;">Do your best and genuinely try hard to give it your all.</span>

The best way to score high on the test is to Google search an online program or book that will help you study. Once you find an online lesson plan for success you can use it as a road map for studying. Otherwise, find a book to help you study and spend 45 mins a night reading through it and studying. Depending on when you test is, the first thing you will want to do is organize a studying schedule for yourself. Target studying certain sections of the test and divide them up by the weeks/months you have until you have to take it.

Chirayu’s Answer

Getting into a habit of studying can be challenging, but here are some tips to help you get started: Set aside specific times each day or week to study, and stick to it. Make studying a priority, and treat it like any other appointment or commitment. Find a quiet, comfortable place to study where you can focus and minimize distractions. This could be a library, a coffee shop, or a quiet room in your home. Don't try to study for hours on end. Instead, break up your study sessions into smaller chunks of time, such as 30 minutes to an hour, with breaks in between. There are many tools and resources available to help you study, such as flashcards, study guides, and online tutorials. Find the ones that work best for you and incorporate them into your study routine. Keep track of assignments, due dates, and other important information in a planner or digital calendar. This can help you stay on track and avoid last-minute cramming. Studying with a friend or classmate can help keep you accountable and make studying more enjoyable.

Simeon’s Answer

It's honestly much better to study in small ten to fifteen minutes sessions multiple times per week as opposed to cram studying. It's way less stressful and the information sticks better. You know how TV advertisements are trying to repeat the same message to you in small chunks multiple times per week? It's the same thing. Our brains retain information way better when its repeated often in small chunks. When you have multiple hour study sessions, the odds are that you're going to be zoning off once the first thirty to forty minutes have passed.

Gloria’s Answer

HI Jacob,

There are a few ways that you can engage in studying. It sounds like you don't usually study on your own, so maybe connecting with a study group is a way to go. You can either learn or teach in those situations. When you can teach something, it usually means you know it. If you can't teach it, then you find the areas where you still have some learning to do. Whenever you study, either alone or in a group, schedule it and treat it like a job. Use that time just to study and do not allow for distractions. That can make a single hour very valuable if you make sure to stay focused for that time.
