Abstract | Designed to help poorly prepared students perform better in college and to help prepared students perform at higher levels, this paper presents a series of specific suggestions for students regarding study activities, course choice, thinking behavior, and time allocation. The suggestions include the following: (1) eliminate diversions during study such as television and radio; (2) interview other students to identify interesting courses and be willing to change courses; (3) learn to review before and after class; (4) try to work at least a little bit each day; (5) try to avoid the habit of cramming for exams; (6) paraphrase what you learn, repeating it in your own words and relating it to what you understand to be the objectives of the course; (7) ask questions; (8) develop your own system of shorthand and review your notes; (9) if possible, study in the room in which a test will be taken; (10) make use of technology such as tape recorders; (11) study in the morning rather than late at night; (12) if you have to miss class, ask a friend to take notes; (13) don't miss finals even if you think you may be failing; (14) record important notes on index cards for reviewing; (15) make use of the tutoring center if you are having specific problems; (16) eat well, avoiding skipped meals and junk food; (17) know your limits and avoid over extending yourself academically; (18) remember the five W's when studying --who, what, where, when and why; (19) skim material before reading it; (20) avoid hedonistic indulgences; and (21) develop memory skills such as the use of mnemonic devices and memory tricks to retain information.
