Simeon’s Answer

It's honestly much better to study in small ten to fifteen minutes sessions multiple times per week as opposed to cram studying. It's way less stressful and the information sticks better. You know how TV advertisements are trying to repeat the same message to you in small chunks multiple times per week? It's the same thing. Our brains retain information way better when its repeated often in small chunks. When you have multiple hour study sessions, the odds are that you're going to be zoning off once the first thirty to forty minutes have passed.

I recommend staying focused and organized throughout the course by paying attention and taking good notes. I always made notecards on Quizlet and tested myself. Also, it can be helpful to study with other people. You might be surprised at how beneficial it is to talk through concepts with piers and compile your insights to gain an overall better understanding.

Melisa’s Answer

Hello. Great question and I am sure many of your peers are asking the same thing. I have found it helpful to prioritize and schedule this time into my day, as Kathy recommends.

I often use my mobile device to schedule reminders and block out key times on my calendar for reading, studying, exercising, etc. Make time for yourself so you can do what you need to do that works best for managing stress. Also, when you have a big test or project due that will require a lot of your time, try to work on it a little at a time every day, until it is due, so you can make progress towards your study goals without waiting until the last minute or stressing out all at one time.

On days where it is particularly hectic or stressful for me, I try to take mini-breaks and just step away for a few minutes and walk up and down stairs, or sit in a dark room and just breathe or meditate, sit or walk outside if it’s nice, etc. Stepping away can allow you to come back refreshed and ready to study even more.

And yes, I agree, taking good notes that are well organized is also key so when you come back to them, they make sense and are helpful. Best wishes for success in your career and educational goals.

Organize a study group with your classmates and those who will encourage you to study and can help and not keep or distract you from your goals.
Try using some “Flash Cards” or look at your notes when sitting on a bus or train, or waiting in line for something, etc.
Find a regular spot to study in. Whether it’s a specific corner at home, a coffee shop you like, an area of your local library, etc.
