6.Do your studying or assignments for the more difficult classes first. Your mind is fresh, and it won’t mentally take as much out of you as it would later. You’ll retain what you have learned too.

7.Don’t try to study with the TV blaring, and a half dozen people trying to talk to you, or being loud. You won’t retain anything because it’s just to distracting. Some people do find it helpful to play soft music in the background. For some it has the affect of relaxing and stimulating the mind.

8.Before you begin to study take a few moments, and review your previous notes. In fact that’s a good policy to do everyday even if you don’t have an assignment. It helps you refocus what you learned and what you’re about to study. In a written assignment take a few moments and reference pages on any notes from class.
