Effective Studying

Attendance

Be prepared

• If you are prepared, you will be better able to take notes and pay attention in class.

Pay attention

Take notes

• Write down key information your teacher provides.

• Your notes may prove to be priceless when tackling later assignments and preparing for tests!

• Review your notes often, and don’t wait until the last minute to study for tests!
