Understanding and Using Study Skills

  • Use and agenda or planner to keep up with your assignments, quizzes, tests, and projects (digital calendars like Google Calendar are great options too)

  • Ask questions when you have questions, do not wait until the last minute or after a test to ask a question about the material

  • Take advantage of quiz/test reviews that the teacher provides (they are providing that information because it will probably show up on the quiz or test)

  • Get enough sleep at night! It is challenging to stay focused and on task during school if you are tired!

  • Designate a space or area in your house where you will do homework and study

  • Plug your phone in on the OTHER side of the room, so you can work and study without distraction
