How I deal with multiple projects/tests: When I have more than one test or project, I break up my studying. I will study for one test for 30 minutes or so and then switch to the other one. If there is some part of project that I know will not take me very long, I will do it when I don’t have much time. If I am really in a crunch for time on a specific day, I will study for one test in the morning and the other in the afternoon or at night. By breaking up the studying into different sections, I feel like I get much more done. Cram sessions do not work for me. I need to study something for a shorter period of time more often for it to sink in.

My time management secret: my secret is to use time wisely. I know that on certain days I do not have time to runs errands or hang out with friends even. Each Minute of each day is used for something. One thing that works really well for me is to write everything down. I mean everything. I write down if I am going to email people write letters or study it works for me to have planner that goes by the
Day and shows me what I am doing to be doing every day. Knowing what I have to do everyday helps me plan out my week and my days. If I know that I don’t have time on Tuesday I will try to get more things done on Monday or Sunday. I plan ahead especially if I am going to be on the road for volleyball. When I am on the road I bring my books on read on the bus/plane/hotel room. Missing class is killer to make up from but if you are upfront with your professors, they are usually nice about having to turn things in late or not being in classes.

My test study method: When it comes time to study for the test, I usually start 2-3 days before the test. I for those sections, paying special attention to what the teacher said would be on the test if there was a review session.  Also, I go through my book and read the inset stories and add to my flashcards. If there are practice problems or online assignments or old test, I use those to help me study for the test as well. Once the test is over, I keep the flashcards so that I have them for the next test or the final. Flashcards are a marvelous learning tool. The key to remembering something is to repeat it numerous time-spaced rehearsals. If you forget something, it is because you haven’t repeated it enough times for an extended period of time. Repetition is a law of learning; therefore, to learn and remember, to recall, it is mandatory that you repeat over and over the things you desire to learn and remember. You may be thinking, “Oh, no, repeat something.” You need to get used to it. For example the more you practice a song on the piano, the better you become at playing that song. Learning and remembering is like playing the piano- the more practice saying or doing it the better you can remember it. Look now at what you remember.  You remember it because you have repeated it numerous times since first being exposed to it. So, practice rehearsing those things you desire to remember, and they will stick with you.

Practiceà proficiencyà pleasure

The better you remember, the more pleasure you obtain from studying and learning.

Laura B.’s Academic Success Story
In high school I was one of the good students who didn’t really have to study to be a good student. The information that I took for notes in class usually stunk in enough for me to be able to get by on the test by simply reviewing the material just before the class began. It wasn’t that I didn’t try, I had a 4.0 all through out high school, but I never really had to put forth much of an effort to get the result that I wanted to see. In college however, that changed. Not only did I start studying and reading the book, but I began to understand that the little ti ny facts were just as important as the general concepts. My overall study method: I do the reading that is required for the classes, and I try to keep up. If I do fall behind, I usually use the reading that I did not get to as an additional study aid. I take good notes in class beacause of volleyball I make sure that I get the notes from another student in the class. Also, for a subject such as chemistry,I do practice problems to help me understand what the material means.
