How to Take on College Studying
Part 1
Develop Good
Study Habits
In college, you’ll need to build on the
study skills that you learned in high school. The demands of a college class
are probably more rigorous than those you are used to.
You can succeed by knowing what to expect
and how to handle it. Think of college as a full-time job, in which you spend
40 hours a week on class, labs, study groups and doing homework.
Being organized and using your time well
are essential. Learn more about time management, and use the guidelines below
to develop your study skills.
Decide When to
Study
Work out about how many hours you need to
study every day. Then make a schedule.

out what blocks of time you have available throughout the day, in the evenings
and on weekends.

what time of day you are most alert--- there are morning people and night owls—and
try to schedule your studying accordingly.

about whether you do better studying for a few hours at a time or sitting down
for marathon sessions.
