How to Improve Your Study Skills?

Do you want to improve your greads? Do you want to study effectively? Here are some idea to help you.

1.       Make a study group. Start by making connections with other students in your classes.  Don't feel you have to limit yourself to study only with friends or familiar faces.   Recruit smart people who can reliably keep up with homework, who will stay focused and who will actively contribute to the process.  start building a group of like-minded students who share your goals for success. Be sure to develop a set of study rules to establish the “where’s” and “how’s” and stick by them. The most successful study group is one in which everyone comes prepared and every person participates in going over and presenting the material to the group, asking relevant questions to bring clarity and understanding to the learning process.  Study groups require responsibility, trust and commitment, so look for classmates who are capable of bringing something positive to the group and will commit themselves over the long haul. If you decide to form a study group, establish some rules and guidelines at your first meeting to keep the group from being distracted and losing enthusiasm and momentum.  Limit the size of your group to three to five students.  Too many students may add confusion and organizational problems.
