Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
it depends if you are a Visual Learner, Audio Learner, or a Kinesthetic/Tactile Learner...(i learned about this is class 2days ago)
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
this site has the characteristics of each one of those to know which of the three you are... and underneith the chart on that site...it has online tests you can take to find out
you see, everybody is one of those 3 learners...and each one studies differently and learns differently...the audio learner learns by listening for directions...the visual...has to SEE what to do, in order to do it...and the kinesthetic has to DO the task in order to understand it.......
once you find out which one of the three you are...you can look on that site to see which style of studying is most effective with you
and/or go to google and type
"(your type of learner) study tips" or something
o yah and studies show that to remember something, you have to write it down, say it outloud, and read it
]
Beforehand: Below, buy the following:
1. Highlighters, only multi colors
2. Good spirals, srong and durable
3. Pen/Pencils, ones that write well
To Do: When the teacher is talking, remember to listen. Don't drift off and do something else while he is lecturing because you'll be behind. Always write everything down what he says, no matter what. After, highlight the important information. Always have a note partner within your class so if you miss a day, you can speak with that person to recieve notes. Also, every week, once a week, meet up and see if you both have enough information for future's test.
STUDY: Do the following to succeed.
1. To succeed, always go into a quiet room so you can concentrate. Soft music will be perfectly fine to calm the nerves.
2. Be prepared. Bring everything you need before beginning so you don't have to to waste time, looking for something.
3. Be comfortable and focus.
4. Note Cards are a great thing to create because you see them over and over...perfect for memory.
5. Quiz yourself. Don't just look and try to remember. Close the book, and say out loud what you remember.
6. Have a study partner or a parent to help, they are always their for you.
7. At least go over something 10 times because that's when it's in your brain!!!
STUDY FOR 30 MINUTES AND THEN A BREAK. AFTER, DO ANOTHER 30 MINUTES AND DO IT UNTIL YOU KNOW. REMEMBER NOT TO OVERSTUDY BECAUSE ON THE TEST DAY, YOU WILL FORGET EVERYTHING!!!
I hope I helped :)

Buy -a lot- of highliters and designate special tasks to them i.e. pink is for vocabulary words, yellow is for key words in a sentence, green is for key sentence in a paragraph.
When you're reading, do it section by section and when you're done one section, ask yourself three questions and answer them in summary:
1. What does the material say?
2. What does the material mean?
3. How does the material relate to the rest of the text?
Organize all your notes according to date or order of material and make sure you can actually read your notes later on. Add titles, subtitles and numbers for every new section when you're writing your notes to distinguish it from others.
Make sure you look up words in the dictionary that you don't understand and write them in the margin.
Try compare notes with classmates to see if you missed anything. Ask them to summarize the reading they've been doing too in case you were confused. Study groups work really well, you should try to organize one.
Always ask your instructor if you don't get something. It's better in the long run.

I got some tips...first of all writing stuff over again (even though it's a drag) really helps you rememeber also drawing pictures of what you're trying to study is a good trick too.

Flash cards are the best method for me. Just writing something down is proven to help you remember it. Usually, all I have to do is make them, then I'll remember. I barely ever actually have to use them. Good Luck! <3

I dont know anything about writing with colors.. but I do know that if you record yourself saying something ((ex. a math problem and then the answer)) into a recorder.. and then when you go to sleep, put in headphones and listen to it over and over and over again! then you start to fall asleep cause its so boring, but when you wake up... you'll memeorize it! Its amazing!
I hope I helped!
