  • having everything in order so you can find what you need
What study skill do you use?
  • flashcards
  • test myself  and re-study the ones I missed
  • study a little bit each day and review over everything the night before a test
  • read some-take a break-read some-take a break, etc.
  • playing games like Memory
  • study with friends
  • read important things more than once
  • pay attention in class
  • take notes in class
  • underlining, highlighting, circling while I am reading
Define Time Management:
