There is a collection of positive habits that make a person so successful in class.【小题1】.

Here are some habits of top students that you can use as tips to do better at school:

First,【小题2】. In college, homework assignments generally make up 5-20% of your grade, but can be the biggest time- suck for most students. Working problems is one of the best ways to turn new concepts into working knowledge, but you’ll never see on an exam a large majority of those problems that take you hours and hours to work through.

Second, they never “read through” the textbook. Per time spent, reading the textbook is one of the least effective methods for learning new materials.【小题3】, but otherwise use Google, lecture notes, and old exams for study materials.

Third, they test themselves frequently. Testing yourself strengthens your brain’s connections to new materials.     【小题4】. Bottom line, repeated self-testing significantly improve long-term memory of new materials.

Last, they study in short bursts, not long marathons. Studying in short burst tends to help you focus strongly because you know there is at least a short break coming.【小题5】, which makes studying continuously for multiple hours on end.
