What are some of the best study tips for those who don't know how to study?

I get distracted easily and never struggled in middle/high school so I don't really know how to study.

Thank you comment icon I think learning is a gradual process. For example, read a novel, which has various levels to show the inner world of the author, to understand his ideas about the problem, the background of the novel content era and the display of ideas can inspire you to think. If you don't know what to study, read a novel first. 楊

Thank you for your question. You have to develop a revision habit. It will be helpful to absorb the materials. You need to find a time management tool, e.g. google calendar, ms outlook, your phone calendar, etc.
Below are my suggestions :
1. Put down the time you need to attend classes
2. Assign time everyday for your assignment, projects, etc. Review the material covered in the class everyday. If you have any question or anything not clear, ask the teacher on the school day
3. Make sure you have enough time to sleep and do some exercise.
4. Allocate more time for revision before assessments
5. You can form study groups with your classmates that can help you to deepen your understanding the exam materials
Hope this helps! Good Luck!
May Almighty God bless you!

Great question! Many people find that they need to create new study habits when getting into advanced courses in college.

Start by reflecting on the source of your challenges, are you distracted by your environment, competing thoughts, etc?
If environmental: too loud? find a quiet space. too messy? tidy up a bit. consider designating a spot for studying so your body and mind don't associate it with other activities.
Competing thoughts: spend a couple minutes clearing your mind by jotting down what's on your mind as a way to let it go
Consider using some "focus music" I find instrumental helps (words can be distracting) or binaural beats playlists.
Focus time using pomodoro technique: set a timer for focus time and follow it with a break (move your body or do something else to refresh your mind)

Once you have a good environment in place, you can try different study habits, is repetition key (re-reading notes, texts, etc) or re-writing notes/outlines more helpful? Flashcards are helpful for some topics and sometimes just repetition/practice. Studying is a practice and takes time and trying different things to find out what works best for you. Don't give up!
