2. Find a place in your house that is the quietest or where you're comfortable

4. Once you are relaxed, organize everything you need to study and lay it out in order form hardest to easiest that way you do the harder ones fist so if you get tired you'll know already.
5. Don’t eat anything that will upset your stomach while studying.
6. Eliminate all noises you think you might have missed.
7. Clear your head of anything that you will think about that hasn't got anything to do with studying or else your brain won't store most of the things you need to know and you'll forget.
8. Tell all your friends that you're studying and realty need to and you appreciate it if they won't call, text, or come over and distract the time you are studying.

LEARNING METHODS
The SQ3R method is the reading and studying system preferred by many educators. Research indicates that it is an extremely effective method for both comprehension and memory retention. It is a system of the reader actively involved.
Step 1: “S”= Survey before you actually read a chapter, or go over a particular section of notes, take five minutes to survey the material. Briefly check headings and subheadings in order to understand the author’s organizational pattern of ideas to be discussed. Scan all visual material. Read introductory and summary paragraphs. This preview will enable you to anticipate what the chapter is about.
Step 2: “Q”= Question creates interest in the material by asking: what are the main points of chapter? As you read, keep the question in mind and figure out the most important points. It gives you clearly defined purpose for reading, and helps you maintain the material.
Step 3: “R”= Read the chapter for meanings. Go through the paragraph before underling key words and phrases to help you recall the main points. Be selective, you don’t need to highlight non-important points or miss anything that can help your comprehension. Summarize main concepts in your own words in the margins. The more active you are in the reading process, the more you will retain.
Step 4: “R”= review the chapter so often to fix the material in your mind. Keep rereading your margin notes and underlings. Verbalize the sequence of main ideas and supporting facts to aid retention. Numerous reviews are a lot more effective than one cramming session the night before an exam. Review once right after you’ve finished reading and then every couple of days. The SQ3R is time consuming at first; except it to take ten to fifteen percent longer to read a given chapter. Research indicates a 70% increase in retention after two months of using the system and, eventually, a reduction in time spent preparing for exams.
You as a student is encouraged to find time to know your own learning style because it will help you to pass your examinations and make good grades.
