Tip 5: Keep a List of Questions

When you feel confused about something you're reading, write down any questions you have. Sometimes your questions are answered as you read further. If nor, don't be afraid to ask for help. Remember, teachers create assignments; they've read the texts and are familiar with them. When you have specific questions, your teachers can provide answers that will help you better understand the material. Learning is rooted in questions developed and asked by the learner.

Asking questions to yourself, to the teacher, and to others, is a great learning method. When you cease to exist to a great extent. Read actively by silently asking questions as you are reading and therefore will expand your mental capacities more than almost anything else.

The philosopher Sir Francis Bacon said, "Knowledge is power." Improving your reading comprehension is the key to gaining important knowledge and making the most of your education. So pick up a book ... and a pen.

Although very few students love homework, it does serve a purpose. Homework helps you:

• Reinforce what you've learned during the day.
• Build study habits that are essential in college.
• Prepare for your classes
• Get a sense of progress

Here are some tips to help you deal with homework more efficiently and effectively

Set the Mood

Create a good study area with everything you need (for example, a calculator). If you don't have a quiet  place at home, try your school or local library.

Know Where to Begin

Make a list of everything you need to do, and note all deadlines. Do the more difficult assignments first, so you don't have to face them at the end.

Study at the Same Time Every Day

Even if you don't have homework every night, use the time to review notes. If sitting down to work id part of your normal routine, you'll approach it with less dread. Also, you'll become a pro at using time productively.

The Benefits of Study Groups

Group study offers other advantages in addition to gaining a deeper understanding of class material. These include the opportunity to: Reinforce note-taking. If AP Biology notes are unclear, you can ask a member of your study group to help you fill the gaps. Share talents. Each person brings different strengths, such as organization skills, the ability to stick to a task or a capacity for memorization.

Cover more ground. Group members may be able to solve calculus problem together that none would solve alone. Benefit from a support system. Members often have common goals such as good grades. Each person's work affects that of the other members, which results in making members supportive of one another. Socialize. It's more fun to study with others; the give and take makes it more interesting. And because it's more fun you spend more time studying!
