• find a study partner
• do extra practice or research
• teach it to someone else (this works so well!)

• use a concentration check sheet (every time u get distracted, put a check on ur sheet. this is supposed to program ur mind to pay attention)
• while u read, talk back to the author
• ask questions during lectures (this is scary ik!! but do it!)

• preview and skim the material before u read it. or google it!
• write out a list of vocab words before a lecture and leave some spaces between them to fill in during the lecture
• read ahead of lectures
• watch crashcourse tbh

• look for bolded words, graphics, pictures, chapter review questions in ur readings
• listen for verbal clues like emphasis and repetition during lectures
• make urself a study guide as u read and write down questions for urself to answer later as review (kinda like cornell notes)

• ask urself: is this something i already know?

• make a list of what u remember from class
• review notes at the end of the day, every day
• stop after reading each prg to write a question in ur notes
• make ur own practice quiz

• make a daily/weekly study schedule
• create a time budget/time tracker (track everything ur doing for a week and see how u can be more efficient w/ the time u waste)
• divide the reading/vocab by the number of days before an exam and do a little bit each day (u can use sticky notes to divide ur reading)

• stop stressing! this sounds stupid and it isnt going to be easy, but anxiety causes u to lose focus. try ur best to think positively. sleep a lot. minimize ur caffeine intake. take a walk maybe
• when u need to remember something, look upward or close ur eyes (when ur eyes are open ur using visual parts of ur brain that u might not need to be using)
• find a rival! (like the person right above u in class rank) secretly compete w/ them (envy can improve mental persistence bc it makes u focus more intensely) but dont overdo it! 
• walking and sleeping build memory storage in ur brain
• eat flavonoids! (grapes, berries, tea leaves, cocoa beans make neurons in the brain more capable of forming new memories + increase blood flow to the brain)
• obstacles force ur brain to try harder, so space learning lessons apart or create a puzzle to solve or change ur physical setting
