Effective Studying
Attendance
• You have to be there!
• School attendance is very important. You miss valuable instruction when you are not present.
Be prepared
• Bring your class materials with you each day!
• If you are prepared, you will be better able to take notes and pay attention in class.
Pay attention
• You may be able to make up work that you miss, or even copy notes from a friend, but there is no substitute for being attentive in class. You can’t get back the instruction missed by not paying attention to your teacher.
Take notes

• Write down key information your teacher provides.
• Your notes may prove to be priceless when tackling later assignments and preparing for tests!
Stay organized

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