Alright my main goal in school is to get great grades and get accepted into New York University. To everybody in my school, NYU seems to be a mountain I can't climb. Well, I have to say there is no mountain I can't climb. So I need you vgchartz users' help. My study habits suck and well I need a new one that will  get me an A+ on my tests and quizzes. This year it seems Social Studies is not my strongest subject. What I need is some new and good study habits so I can finally get an A in US History. So does anybody have any idea how I should study for US History. If not show me a very good website that will give me good study habits.

be lesss on vgc ... it really works

@kiby007, you know that could help. I'll think about it.

maybe find some fellow students and learn in groups that work productive.
as long as you spend enough time on your study you will be fine

I find Jazz to be study conducive. It is upbeat and has no words to listen to/ get distracted by. I used to use classical music, but now I use that to fall asleep (not from it being boring, but from being relaxing).

Anyways, music is useful since it blocks out external sound or creates sound so your not distracted by silence.

If you have a PSP, just use its internet radio Jazz stations so it is free.

don't play LBP IT'S addictive

I also tried to listen to music from Kenny G. It's mostly instrumental music I listen to. The silence is just too much.

Study a subject. then to drill the subject into your mind in a way that you will learn well, is to imagine (or talk out loud as I do) explaining what you learnt to an imaginary person. Or even better yet, find someone that is willing to listen to you prattle on.

This way you defo will understand the subject matter in a very practical and useful way. You have my guarentee it will bring success.

But I also can't drill this into your head enough, DON'T STUDY ALL THE TIME!!!!!!! Only study a couple of hours a day at most. I have seen people who study all the time, they are not healthy people! They have panic attacks, suffer from halopecia, become depressed, exhausted, weak and eventually these are the people that fail. Balance is the key.

Of course this rule doesn't apply during exam times.

P.S. Also it is important to know the difference between revising and studying.

I listen to jazz when writing reports for that very reason.

I also go to sarbucks, it's amazing how much work you can get done there without realising it lol.

try to study with books
don't listen to porn or you'll end up blind
drink coffee before going to bed
go to school

you're welcome
