Tips that I practice	Tips that I don’t practice	Tips that I would like to practice
TIP 2 "For girls, when you study, have a scent in the room, preferably a perfume or something. Then when you take the test, wear that perfume.  It can help you remember what you study because you relate the scent to the information. Of   course you have to use a scent that you wouldn't normally smell." Clarise	TIP 3   "Listen to soothing, but invigorating music. I usually listen to Beethoven while I do mindless homework like math, French, or science assignments. It gets your brain pumping and flowing, and keeps you alert and awake." Jason	TIP 4  "While studying, keep peppermint in your mouth... it clears your nasal passage for fresh air. More fresh air means more oxygen to the brain. Trust me, this really helps with memorizing and studying for school." Dennis
TIP 5 "When having a test or quiz on your notes (which happens quite frequently), take your notebook to your computer,  and type all of your notes pertaining to that chapter in that particular section of your notebook. By typing the notes you need to know for your test, a lot of the information is displayed from your short-term memory to your long-term memory. After typing your notes out, look them over and study in-depth... This always helps." Dennis	TIP 6 "Definitely listen in class, you won't have to study so hard if you actually know some of the information beforehand (from class)." Dennis	TIP 7 "Be careful about wearing too much perfume or sitting near someone who does. The chemicals in some perfumes may affect your power to concentrate and remember information." Shay
TIP 8 "Depending on the type of class, taking notes on a PowerBook computer has helped me immensely. •It makes my notes readable & printable. •My notes are saved in a retrievable place for the class and to use as citations for papers in other classes-(make sure you date your notes for this purpose). •Professors and other students think you are smarter and more attuned to learning, just because you have a PowerBook in front of you, and will pay more attention to your questions. Other students will want to share their notes because they can read yours.	TIP 9 "Read over the notes a couple of times and then summarize it in your own words. Writing it down might help store it into the long-term memory." Veronica	TIP 10 "I'm recently starting year 12, I'm trying to get organized, I found your Tips very helpful. Though there are many other useful techniques, one of the best is teaching others what you have learned. I found when I helped others with questions I would gain a better knowledge of what I learned. I have also learned from my experience from year 11, that just studying a couple days before is not really studying but cramming. Therefore to gain better marks you have to study months before. Using flow charts, making notes simples, that's what summaries are supposed to be. My friend also gave me a study hint, though yet to be proven, she said the color yellow helps you remember things better, she always uses yellow paper for studying." Anna
TIP 11 "I have a TIP for you. Students should try to study as much as  they can during daytime hours. When I study, I usually try to study during daytime, From my personal experience, study during the day time is much better than study during night time. I remember things better during daytime and I tend to not to slack off as much during daytime. Sometimes, there are less distraction for me during the daytime and I found myself more awake, even if I feel sleepy, take a 20~30 minute nap to recharge your energy. You should only study everything at night only if it's absolutely necessary, (i.e., due to work, after school activities,...etc.) besides, study as much  as possible would usually reduce yourself from getting stress out at night time. Best of all, it would prevent you from staying up all night!" Paul	TIP 12 "I am currently half way through my year 12, but I have talked to many students who have finished year twelve as well as teachers for study hints.  The things that I have already put into practice, and have gotten very good results from is to write out my own study guide from the syllabus (this makes you understand the concepts you are summarizing, as well as putting the information into your long-term memory.)	TIP 13  "I have found through personal experience that by separating all of my different classes from one another by using different notebooks for each (different colors works good for me), I am not only more organized but more likely not to wander away from that subject when studying.  A friend told me it's my subconscious.  That I associate the notebook with that class and it helps me to concentrate on it alone.  No matter what the reason is, it helped me boost my grades tremendously and learn a whole lot more then I had been before."  Meranda
TIP 14 "Keycards are great study aids. You summarize your notes for the subject by each topic then you summarize the summary so that you have the key ideas and points for each topic. These you write down on cards under each topic heading. Put them in a small ringbinder and carry them with you. Then you can flip through them while waiting in a queue or waiting at your desk for a class to start. These quick flip-throughs of all the major points keep facts alive in your memory ready for recall in the exam." Jackie	TIP 15 "This is especially for my geography class because there is a lot of writing involved! I've found that writing notes in shorthand (e.g. people=ppl) and going home that night while it is still fresh in the memory and typing it out longhand on the computer helps to memorize or keep the info in the brain because for people that constantly look up at the screen are rereading what they have typed. I don't know if this is a good study method but it works for me!" Diane	TIP 16 "Always have plenty of lined paper around.  Lines help you to write your notes properly and neatly. I know it - it helps me!" Valerie, a student from Singapore.
TIP 17 "A good study TIP that I have found works quite well is to read the material to be covered in a lecture beforehand, and as you are reading create an outline, leaving plenty of space.  Take this outline to the lecture and add to it new information the teacher gives, highlight on it things that you already have listed that are things she stresses as important.  I type my outlines and type in blank lines using the underscore key so that they are easier to add to and because it being typed makes it easier to tell the difference between the information that came from the textbook and the information that came from the teacher	TIP 18 Hello, "I'm a college student. The Cornell note taking system works best for me. It is easier to understand the notes on the Cornell paper.  The web site about the Cornell System is http://www.sanborn.k12.nh.us." Alexis (another link to the Cornell System for note taking) http://www.dartmouth.edu/	TIP 19 "Don't play sport or tire yourself before doing anything that requires thinking, memory etc. such as a test, or study period. Make sure you are fully rested and relaxed. I made the mistake, and took me three exams to figure it out." Fubu
TIP 25 "My TIP is to increase vocabulary so concentration is not interrupted while studying, or reading. Words that are difficult to understand will become more friendly if I practice using them." Linda	TIP 26 "Taking notes during class is very important, and reviewing them when you get home...and it is not just the way you study but it is in the attitude you display...as long as you're a determined and a hard working student, getting good grades wouldn't be difficult for you at all." Lea	TIP 27 "A very helpful studying TIP is to rewrite your notes the same day you wrote them, if its possible right after class. If you do not rewrite them right away, maybe in the future you  will not understand what you wrote. Writing your notes a second time is also a way to understand the class lecture better. I have been using this TIP for a long time, and it has helped me to memorize information and organize my work." Angelina
TIP 41 My study TIP is to make your own questions while reading and with those same questions test yourself, with this you will find out how well you are doing or if you are ready for the test. No name given.	TIP 42 My own personal TIP is to go into your room lock yourself in there and turn on a little music and start studying. A little music won't hurt. Actually it makes me focus more on what I'm actually studying. I don't know why but it works for me. Most people would get distracted but I recommend that. You should try it sometime. Linda	TIP 54 Read – How to Read text Effectively This method of absorbing material in three passes is useful for many students. It is a way of tackling each section of the text in a specific and analytical way, with ways to test knowledge and assist a student in retaining new knowledge.
TIP 55 I'm the sort of student who gets easily distracted and it's a nasty habit. When that happens, I remember that what I'm doing is for my own sake. Motivate yourself. If your mind wanders constantly, just set a short time limit, like half an hour - then take a ten minute break (walk around your garden or something, relaxing in the living room is a bad idea since there's the television and everything) and get back to studying. It's better than feeling bored through one hour and not absorbing any material at all. It works for me. See if it works for you. Kuki	TIP 56 At night, I place something I normally wouldn't in the middle of my floor, and while I'm doing that, I think to myself that the reason I put that down is to remember to do my school work in the next morning or day. The next day I see it and remember why I put it there. (This reason can also be to help you remember to do something else the next day). Riley	TIP 59 Always, always, always get enough sleep. Once you feel as though you've had a good night's sleep, tiredness won't get in the way of your studies. If you didn't get enough sleep for the day, you'd most likely spend most of your time dozing off in lecture than concentrating and even if you don't doze off, you'll continuously lose interest in the subject and the next thing you know, you can't recall anything that the lecturer just said!
TIP 60 I find this useful when preparing for essays or answering exam questions. I divide or "chunk" the key parts of the question. I then describe each "chunk". In this way I fully understand what the question wants from me and I don't wander off task. All the preparation has been made and I then just write the answer using 1 paragraph for each chunk.	TIP 61 Hello. I am a student from Singapore. I'd like to share two study tips. Eating brain food helps to aid better studying. One example is banana. Have a brain food as a snack instead of sweets or chocolates helps,  as it contains proteins.	TIP 62 An excellent study tip for those who like to study with music: Study to music that you don't know the lyrics to, or to completely instrumental music. It stops you singing along (unintentionally too) to every song and allows you to focus completely on the task at hand
