Study plans and help guides

Study plans are schedules created to help a student learn effectively, especially in the face of upcoming examinations. They can take different forms and span different time lengths, but usually they are a weekly plan. This plan includes all your regular activities during the week- classes, sleep, meals, travel time, work shifts, family commitments, exercise, extra-curricular activities (sports, music tuition), social activities and so on. It should also take into account time for relaxation, assignments and homework. Hopefully it would be a realistic schedule with some flexibility for the unexpected. Within this framework, you should try to schedule in time everyday to make study notes and revise study material. It is better to organise short study periods, including breaks, rather than long blocks of study. Regular, effective study in small doses is much better than large blocks of time less often.

Study and help guides can refer to books about how to study, but also may refer to study guides for specific subjects. These are available for all subject areas and levels of learning, from primary to tertiary. For example, a senior high school literary study guide for a particular book may include topics such as plot, character development, language, and context. There are also many study guides online.

Study tips and strategies

It is important to form good study habits early on, in order to study effectively down the track. Set aside a place for studying that is comfortable, ergonomic, and free from distractions. Give yourself goals to work towards, and set yourself rewards for accomplishing those goals. Take responsibility for your own learning, find something to motivate you to learn. Write up a study plan and place it somewhere where you will see it. If you think you won't be able to stick to it, create one that you will be able to accomplish, or maybe find someone you can be accountable to. Find a partner to study with to motivate each other, and help each other study. Have a weekly or fortnightly study group so you can go over difficult questions together, or to create study materials. Discover what kind what method of study suits you best (visually, aurally, through group work, via tactile means), and use this method when studying. Participate in class discussions rather than just listening; summarise readings and lessons with diagrams and bullet points, rather than just re-reading them.

Effective Study Skills
http://www.adprima.com/
A list of relevant and successful techiniques for studying at the high school and college level.

This web page on study skills is designed to help you improve your learning and understanding, and ultimately your grades. It is not so large that it would require you to engage in mind-numbing reading of chapter after chapter as is the case with many books on the subject. The information is written in a way to help you "see" and "practice" proven study techniques. This page is used in hundreds of schools and universities and is ranked in the top 5 sites by Google for "how to study."

No two people study the same way, and there is little doubt that what works for one person may not work for another. However, there are some general techniques that seem to produce good results. No one would argue that every subject that you have to take is going to be so interesting that studying it is not work but pleasure. We can only wish.
