Do you ever feel that your study habits aren't up to the mark? Have you ever thought that you can perform better in your exams in classes, but how? Many students think that their study habits are not very effective. It is known to all that college is very different from school that's why study habits of schools are not It doesn't mean that something is wrong with you, you just need to change your study skills. You need to add some new skills to your school skills.
Be in the best environment
Always try to figure out where you study most quickly. Some people read more at night and less in the morning. It's easy for some people to remember at certain places. It can be a room in the house, it can be a balcony, it can be a library of a shop. There is such a place for everyone where they get rest, try to read more there. Find several places to study in and around campus and change up your space if you find that is no longer a working space for you.
So change the place after some time, so that your mind remains engaged in reading. Some people like to do group study and some people like to study alone. If you do a group study, then you can also go to your friends' house. Your concentration remains even by listening to the music. It helps you to concentrate. You should try them once, maybe it will work for you.

Stop depending on the final
If you failed the midterms chances are you won't get an A in the final… LOL. Stop hoping you pull through” last minute.
Never think that if you get good marks in your final, then you will get a good grade. Never depend on your finals. Because the final exam is usually tough. It happens many times that you are not able to give the final exam properly and if you have spoiled the midterms then your grades will not be good. It happens to many students that they are not able to give their finals well but they have performed well in the midterms so their grades get better. That's why don't think that your grades will get better with the finals. Prepare the midterms well so that your grades remain good.
Maximize your chances
To make student life easy, always keep your behavior right in front of the professor. Join those groups which can help you. If you have good groups and people who study well, then it is good for you. You can study with them and can share your problem with them, they will help you. That is why some people must be kept in student life who can support you in your studies. Keep talking to the professor and keep asking him questions. Try to verify your queries.

Prepare before
Before going to class, always check which topic will be taught to you today. Just remember the heading. So that you don't feel like you don't know anything. Whenever the teacher asks you something, you will be able to give the answer, this will also create a good image of you in the mind of the teachers.
Note taking system for each class
Note EVERYTHING during class. And then when you get out of class and your studying, rewrite your notes so they're clean and concise. This does two things. 1)you have clean notes for unit tests and finals. 2) when you rewrite things you remember them, so when you do this you just wrote down all the info you need twice, and you'll remember it

Write down obvious things
Whenever teachers read in class, always note down those things which you do not know. The questions taught in the class are understood in the class but when you try to study at home, you do not understand them. Note down the steps that you do not know how to do so that whenever you open the notebook, you will know how those steps can be done.

Missing file
Get off your phone
Whenever you are in classes, try to stay away from your phone. Yes, it’s a difficult task but it will affect your study. Once you start using the phone, you start scrolling Instagram, then it becomes very difficult to get rid of it. And you will not be able to pay attention in class. Whenever you enter class, put your phone in aeroplane mode.

Get off your phone
Figure out what you don’t need
Always try to know what is important for you to know and what is not. In advance, you will keep trying to know those things which are not important for you, in this you will waste a lot of time. So try to figure out what is important for you to know and what is not.
Stop studying stuff you already know
All the students have this habit in all of them, which topic they know well, they read it again and again. Suppose your exam is ahead and you have to sit all night and head. So maximum students read those topics again and again which they know very well. The time that could have been saved in studying some other topic, they spend that time in that topic which they already know. You just feel good by reading the study stuff you already know. Except for those topics, you can give your time on other topics.
Figure out how you’ll be tested
we don't know what questions can be asked in the exam but we can know how questions can be asked in the exam. Most of the students waste their time reading entire books thinking this. Whenever you prepare for any of your exams, always keep the old question papers with you. Always check what is the format of your exam. What type of questions are asked in your exam. How much time should you give to which question? Which question can you do first and which later? Train your brain the same way you tested. You can create groups with your friends and give each other questions to solve. You can make a test of multiple questions and share the quiz on Google Docs. This will help you to prepare for your exam.
