SUGGESTED STUDY HABITS

• Set up a place to study that is as free from distractions as possible. Be sure to have decent lighting and cut back on noise, phone calls and other interruptions.

• Establish a study schedule or routine. Organize your time; decide what tasks need to be done; don’t put it off, do more difficult subjects first; take a short break if you get tired.

• Plan ahead to study for exams and to complete long-term assignments. Do not leave things for the last minute.

• Not all homework takes the form of a written assignment. Reading, studying, and reviewing are also homework.

• If you do not understand an assignment, ask your teacher beforehand.

• Make every effort to complete each assignment to the best of your ability.

• There should be no off nights during the week for homework. The four years of high school are critical learning years. Do not accept the statement, "I have no homework".

• Attend extra help sessions if you are experiencing difficulty with a subject.
