Midterms are near, which means studying is about to become the only thing that will be in your life. Here are some tips on how to study and earn that A+!
1. Study at the library
At the University of Oklahoma, we have a beautiful library. The Bizzell Library has many spaces to study at. There is even a coffee shop! I recommend studying here rather than your house because it is less distracting and can make you focus more on your studies.
2. Turn off your phone
Your phone can be the biggest
distraction while trying to study. Try putting it down and only looking at it
during study breaks! This will make you focus more on studying rather than
becoming distracted by your cellphone.
3. Don't cram
Cramming for a test can be one of the worst things to do while studying. Cramming for a test can result in stress. Make sure to study every day in order to get a good grade and avoid stress!
4. Use different forms of studying
Try different forms of studying. Just reading a book isn't going to get you the perfect grade, making flash cards and attempting other forms of studying will get you the perfect grade.
5. Sleep, sleep, sleep
Sleep is the number one thing to do in order to prepare for a big test. Not getting the proper amount of sleep will result in a bad test grade. Sleep will make you more attentive and prepared for a big test!
Using these tips will help you get that perfect A on those tests that are about to come. Reviewing your notes and going to class is essential, but those are not the only ways you can ensure a good grade. Going to a quiet place to study, not getting distracted, taking breaks, using different study methods, and getting a lot of sleep are great study tips that will help you gain that A+!
