How to Take On College Studying

Part 2

Choose where to study depends on two factors: the environment in which you are best able to concentrate and the type of work you are planning to do

. The best places to study have good light, a comfortable temperature and enough desk space-usually your dorm room, your apartment or the library.

. For completing problem sets or brainstorming possible test questions, you may want to study in a group or at least in a setting where fellow students are available for discussion.

.When you are reading book chapters or working on a research paper, you are probably better off in a less social environment.

Improve your study habits

Here are some simple steps you can take to help you get a handle on studying:

Have a routine for where and when you studying

Choose reasonable and specific goals that you can accomplish for each study session

Do things that are harder or require more intense thought at your most productive time of your day

Take breaks if you need them so you don’t waste time looking at material but not absorbing it
