Part 3
Take Advantage
of Any Free Time
If you have a study period or a long bus ride, use the
time to review notes, prepare for an upcoming class or start your homework. Flash
cards are a great learning tool. They are easy to make, easy to handle, and are
a marvelous tool to help you learn and remember anything. Punch a hole in the
upper left corner of each index card and connect the stack of your flash cards
with a ring. Then the cards are bound and not flopping around. Flash cards
bound like this act like a small book with pages. You can even have separate ringed
stacks for each subject. Whatever you want to remember put it on a card.
Study with a
Friend
Get together with friends and classmates to quiz each
other, compare notes and predict test questions. Consider joining a study
group.
Communicate
If you have concerns about the amount or type of
homework you have, you may want to talk to your family, teachers or counselor. They
can help you understand how much time you need to allot for homework and how to
manage your tasks.
Celebrate You
Achievements
Reward yourself for hitting milestones or doing
something well.
