1 Be OrganizedKeep a calendar of upcoming assignments and prioritize your tasks. Make sure your study area is free of clutter and distractons in order to stay focused and more productive.

Develop a study schedule, and determine what your goals are for each session. Having a plan will help you to make the most of your time.

Pick a Time2

Eliminate Distractions5 Find a quiet study area and turn off electronic devices to prevent any potential disturbances.

Take Breaks 6 For every 45–50 minutes of studying, take a 10–15 minute break to recharge.

Get Help7 Take advantage of the people you can ask for help. Teachers, tutors, or parents can help explain difficult concepts.

Be Prepared8 Gather any pencils, papers, and other supplies you may need the day before the exam.

Get Active9 During study breaks, get plenty of physical activity.

Get Enough Sleep10 Stick to the same bedtime each day and get 7-9 hours of sleep. A nightly routine, such as reading a book will help you fall asleep.
