My study skills suck?

Question

I was told to go over what you learned after school that way you don't find yourself studying over everything you learned but I hate studying and end up studying the last day before test. How do you study and how do you keep your mind of the things you wish you were doing and the things you should be doing?

Answer 1

Well, I find reading the material out loud makes it interesting.  

I also break it up & write down notes to make it fun to review.

Answer 2

is it by having too much pride to get a bad grade?

I just do my work.  I know my limits and how long I can postpone and when the time for fun is up and it's time to start studying, I just do it.  

Not sure why, just habit, I suppose.

Answer 3

I have the almost exact problem as you....lol i should be doing some hw right about now too. But what you have to do is set times for everything, like make a schedule. Like and hour and a half of studying then go watch some tv.
