The next tip is to find your learning style. Find how you learn and study the best. One way is writing everything down. Rewrite what you need to learn in different colors, this helps your brain better remember the things you are studying. Another way to study is re-read all your notes, and then write down what you remember. This also is a great way to better understand, and remember what you need to.

Also make sure to not overwork your brain. Give yourself breaks, your brain needs breaks from studying. Try to stay away from your phone on these breaks. This will distract your brain, and you will have a hard time getting back on track. Let your brain relax during these times.

Make sure you are in a good study place. Make sure it’s somewhere you are comfortable, and can fully learn everything you need to. Overall there are many way to study. Find the best way for you. Everyone is different when it comes to studying. Good luck Saint Joe!
