Study every day. Create a quiet place at home to study. Turn off the phone, TV, and other devices that may disturb you when studying. Listen to soft music or other white noise. Study in a way that suits your learning style. Take regular breaks, like 5 minutes every half hour. Study early (don't wait until the last minute). Study the hardest things first and then move on to easier ones. Spend the most time on things that you find most difficult. Ask for help if you are struggling with something. Take notes as you study, using your own words to simplify complex concepts. Organize your notes in a notebook or folder. Look at your notes on a regular basis. Make connections between the topics you are studying and the topics you have already mastered. Take practice tests, so you don't panic when it's time for the real test. Keep track of your study progress using an online program or notebook. Give yourself a pat on the back after a good study session. Quiz yourself about what you just studied.
