Question

As you survey the text, ask a question for each section. Ask what, why, how, when, who and where questions as they relate to the content. Here's how you can create questions:

• Turn the title, headings or subheadings into question.
• Rewrite the questions at the end of the chapter or after each subheading in your own words.

Write down your questions. Questions help you pay attention, understand the text better and recall the information more easily later on.

Read

Read one section of the chapter at a time, actively looking for an answer to your question for that section. Pay attention to bold and italicized text that authors use to make important points.

Be sure to review everything in the section, including tables, graphs and illustrations -- these features can communicate an idea more powerfully than written text.

5 Tips for Staying Motivated

Tips 1-2

To succeed in high school and college, you have to do your best at all times. But sometimes it's hard to stay motivated, even when you really care about the work you're doing. Here are five ways to stay on the right track.

1. Focus on High-Impact Activities 

The key to success in school is staying focused on your course work. Make a list to get an overall picture of your workload before you start to tackle any of it. Then. make a plan. Although it's tempting to do the simplest assignments first, those that take more time and effort to accomplish are probably the ones that you'll learn the most from.

To determine what your priorities are, rank your assignments in the order of their importance. Then rearrange your time and devote more energy toward those that have the greatest impact on your course work and grades. For example, even though all homework assignments are important, studying for a midterm exam takes priority over writing a paragraph for English class. As you complete each task, think of it as another step on your way to college success.

2. Create New Challenges

Changing your approach can help you stay interested in what you're doing. If you've been given an assignment similar to one you've done in the past, think about it in a different way. If you wrote a essay for a creative writing assignment last year, try a poem this time. For book reports, pick a history book instead of another biography.

After Class

As soon as class ends, review your notes and fill in any blanks. Underline, highlights and use symbols to sort through the information, if you don't understand something, get help from your teacher or classmates.

After you've reviewed all your notes from class, in the left-handed area of the page write down key words and questions your teacher might ask on a test.

At the bottom of each page, write a summary of the notes. This helps you digest what you've learned. It also improves your memory of the material for the long term and for test down the road.
