***Name five study habits recommended by the Grade.
1) Schedule Study Time:
Make a calendar of tasks with dates, hours needed, when you plan to study
Make sure to have a specific time for studying
Follow your schedule promptly – begin and end on time
2) Study at the best time:
First study and then to do other things
Look at your biorhythm
Do the hard task or assignment first – most people are more efficient early on
3) Place to study:
Study at a desk
To avoid distractions, have everything you need on your desk
Keep your desk neat, where you can find things easily – have only what is needed so you can concentrate (no iPod, phone, video games, IM, etc.)
Find a place where there is silence
4) Remain sitting:
Work for 50-60 minutes without a break—take a maximum of a 10 minute break. Avoid taking bathroom or food and drink breaks
Finish your work entirely – don’t leave a small part until the morning of the day it’s due
Study for test until all the material is mastered
