Marshes book worms have composed their Top Ten Study Tips, guaranteed to result in course success...

1. Try not to do too much studying at one time. Space the work you have to do over shorter periods of time in order to avoid boredom and tiredness. Also, take short breaks during study sessions in order to restore your mental energy.

2. Create a study timetable and plan specific times for studying.

3. Try to study at the same times each day. Studying at the same times each day establishes a routine that becomes a regular part of your life. When a scheduled study time comes up during the day, you will be mentally prepared to begin studying.

4. Set specific goals for study sessions. Goals will help you stay focused and monitor your progress. Be very clear about what you want to accomplish during your study session and stick to it.

5. Study when planned. You can only put off studying for so long, eventually you are going to have to do something or risk failure.

6. Work on the areas you find most difficult first then tackle the easier subjects. Your most difficult area will require the most effort. Start with your most difficult assignment since this is when you have the most mental energy.

7. Review your class notes before beginning to study. Scanning over or reviewing your notes first can help you get a general feel for the area to be studied.

8. Switch off your mobile during study sessions. Give yourself a chance and tell your friends not to call during study sessions. Two problems can occur if your friends call during your study session. Firstly, your work is interrupted and secondly, you will be distracted.

9. Ask for help if you are having difficulty with an area. This is a case where "two heads may be better than one."

10. Review each week and plan for the following week. Reviewing the week will help you stay focused and clear your mind for the weekend!!!!
