Achieving success in school isn’t always easy, but it is doable if you put your mind to it. Step one is improving your study skills. Although many of this week’s study-skill sites are written by university counselors, their sound advice is equally applicable to middle-school and high-school students.<\/p>\n

Education Corner: Study Skills
\n
\n“Proven tips and techniques for studying smarter… not harder. Active listening, reading comprehension, note taking, stress management, time management, testing taking, and memorization are only a few of the topics addressed in our study skills guides for students. ” To view the complete list of study guides, scroll down the page. Some are general guides for any kind of study, and others are topic specific, such as English, Chemistry, or Philosophy.<\/p>\n

How to Study
\n
\nDr. Charles T. Mangrum and Dr. Stephen S. Strichart are two former university professors who joined forces in 1997 to create study skills curriculum for students from elementary grades to college. Their study skill recommendations are either articles (look in Study Skill Articles) or short tips submitted by readers like you (look in Study Tips). “Don’t sit and watch the clock when you study. Do what it does. Keep going.” Submitted by Luca Fuertes, Student, 6th Grade, Bangkok, Thailand.<\/p>\n

UC Berkeley: Strategic Learning Program
\n
\n“Study difficult (or boring) subjects first. If your chemistry problems put you to sleep, get to them first, while you are fresh. Most of us tend to do what we like first, yet the courses we find most difficult require the most creative energy. Save the subjects you enjoy for later.” Excellent tips from University of California, Berkeley, on managing procrastination and building a seven-day study plan.<\/p>\n
