Study Skills

The study skills that were in the article were very interesting and helpful. That article could of helped a kid learn study skills that they didnt know. If a kid was stuggling to learn skills that actually worked then it would of been a good article to read. For me, in order to improve my study skills I think that I need to make more time for myself. When I have a test at school, the night before I cant get motivated to study or I just simply get side tracked. So that leaves me studying 5 minutes before the test is given.
Some schools dont have a exam policy like we do where we only have 2 exams in one day. That works well for me because that way it wont overwhelm me with all the studying. I have been trying to study for my tests more often. To improve my study skills I usually try and make flash cards, to me that is a good way to study and it actually helps me to rememember the material. For the freshman, it is probably harder for them to study because they might be still getting the hang of going from middle school to the high school environment and the difference on work.
Just telling them to go home and study probably wont be effective. In order to improve the study skills of the freshman I am trying to help I am going to have to show them the skills that work. I am going to tell and show them to skills that have worked for me in the past. I am going to try and work harder at helping them study better.
