Answer 1

This should help you study better and smarter.

1. Have all of your materials ready and in the place that you are going to study.

3. Study when its quiet. No music, no TV, No headphones, no nothing.

4. Do your most difficult subject fist or else you may never get to it.

5. Keep a calendar so that you know when a project is due or a test is going to be given.

6. Vocabulary is very important. Words have different meanings. You need to know the meaning for the subject that you are taking.

7. Study the relationship of things. How is the topic that you studied related to the unit that you are studying?

8. Your textbook has hints for you. Many books have important words or phrases in darkened or colored type, make sure that you know them thoroughly.

Answer 2

Well its very simple. Get off the computer and open a book. It's self discipline which will help you. The first 10-20 minutes will probably be repetitive but after you get going you just wont want to stop.

Organising shouldn't be very difficult either. Just write notes and number the pages. Make a check list first of what you need to learn though. Go through that list and revise it. When you think you know everything get someone to test you or test yourself. And taking a few minutes off to watch TV usually ends up with you watching TV for a few hours. Avoid any distractions.
