Answer 1

test and exams as im sure youve been told since grade school require enough sleep and proper nutrition

Answer 2

Plan A Well Balanced Schedule

Good health, both physical and mental, is necessary if you are to get the most out of your studies. Be sure to allow time for both fixed and flexible requirements. Needless to say, more time should be allocated to studying now.

COMMON FIXED REQUIREMENTS

Eating

Organizational Meetings

Classes

Church

Work COMMON FLEXIBLE REQUIREMENTS    

Sleeping

Recreation

Study

Relaxation

Personal Affairs

Allow Ample Study Time

A good general rule for studying is that two hours of study time are required for each hour of class. Do modify this suggestion based on what you know about the probable difficulty of your modules.



Study At A Regular Time In A Regular Place

Establishing habits of study are extremely important. Have a definite time and place for study. Try to arrange to study the same subject, at the same time, in the same place everyday. Studying will soon become a habit. Avoid generalizations in your schedule such as “study.” Commit yourself more definitely to “Study Chemistry” or “Study Math” at a certain hour.



Make Every Hour During The Day Count

That hour or two you have in between classes can easily be wasted. If your class is one which devotes time mostly to lecture rather than practical, you should study the subject immediately or as soon as possible after the class. Conversely, if your class is one that devotes time largely to practical, you should review that subject just before class. Making use of odd hours will release free time for recreation and activities at other times in the week. When possible, schedule a few minutes for review just before and after a class.



Limit Studying On Any One Subject To No More Than 2 Hours

You begin to tire rapidly and your ability to concentrate decreases after studying for 1-1/2 to 2 hours. To maintain your efficiency, it is wise to take a break and then switch to another subject.



Do Not Be A Time Stealer

When that unexpected event arises which interferes with your study schedule, decide immediately when you can find time to make up for the missed study hours, and adjust your schedule accordingly.

Answer 3

Studing in  quiet library with lots of natural light is the best for me. You'll be able to concentrate and do twice as much!

Answer 4

Maybe you could try flash cards... I use them and get 90% or higher on all my tests. I am in 8th grade.

Answer 5

I've gotten through 4 years of college with only one B, and even that was due to butting heads with an opinionated philosophy professor.  I find that if I take hand written notes in class and then, in the three days or so before the test, type them out, I magically remember almost everything.  I go to bed nervous but in the shower the next morning all these facts from my notes float through my mind that I didn't actively put in there.  

Give typing a try, could work.
