Your Study Environment

Where you study is important, too.

  • Choose a quiet, well-lit and well ventilated place that’s free of distractions such as the telephone, TV, music, friends, etc. The library is an ideal place to study.
  • Gather all needed materials before you begin.
  • Try to study in the same place each day. Use that place for studying only.
  • Take breaks after each hour of studying, loosen tense muscles by getting up, stretching and walking around.
  • Underline or highlight what’s important such as main ideas, names of important people, key terms and their meanings
  • Develop and outline according to their importance.
  • Write a summary but keep it brief to include only main points.
  • Make a map using a diagram of the material.
