Many of the highest-scoring students owe their success to some surprisingly simple habits. It's not about brains，or about the amount of time spent studying..
♦Schedule your time. When a teacher assigns a long paper, you can draw up a timetable, dividing the project into small pieces so it isn't so challenging. It's like eating a steak. Of course, even the best students delay sometimes. But when that happens, they face up to it. Sometimes it comes down to late nights. Still, if you want A's, you should make sure you hit the deadline.
♦Study anywhere or everywhere. When you learn English words, you can post a vocabulary list by the cupboard. Learn a new word every day while brushing your teeth. Study time was strictly a matter of personal preference. Some wake up early to study. Still others study as soon as they come home from school when the work is fresh in their minds.
♦ If you want to study well, you should have your own learning system. Immediately file the day's papers in color-coded folders by subject so they'll be available for review at the exam time. Even you don't have a private study area, remain arranged in an orderly way. A backpack or drawer keeps essential supplies together and cuts down on time-wasting searches.
♦Learn how to read fast. You not only increase your words per minute but also learn to look at a book's table of contents, graphs and pictures first. Then, when you begin to read, you have a sense of the material, and retain a lot more.
