Good Study Habits?

Question

Is there anyone out here that knows some good study habits that would work for a 14 year old? I'm tired of just getting bad grades and not studying when I need to but I just can't seem to focus. Any suggestions?

Answer 2

You have to believe in yourself and be hard working. I know you probalby hard it a million times, but that's because it worked so many times.

Turn off your cellphone, stay away from the television, and get a parent to block MySpace, Facebook, and games on the internet if you have to use it.

Then you should put your study to hard work. Make studying fun, and study with friends who want to succeed.

Answer 3

as soon as you get home have a healthy snack. i always make sure i have paper and sharpened pencils so i don't have to waste time looking for some. i always study in the same place and close my blinds so i don't get distracted. its important to have a place with good lighting and a comfortable room temperature. i like to keep a water bottle next to me just in case i get thristy. i usually start with the "easy" work which gets me motivated and once i get going its easy! its just the starting thats hard. when you're doing well or need a break, reward yourself with a snack. dont reward yourself with tv because chances are you'll forget about it. for history, french, and biology i like to make q-cards, they're helpful. for math and physics i do the hardest problems i can find. for english i make a fake test and then do it after studying. the best time to study is when you're most alert! if you study with a focused classmate you get a lot more covered and you can help each other. i also don't reccomend listening to music! the rest is up to you!!!

good luck!    :)
