Finally, while you’re studying another study tip is to take ten-minute breaks. A lot of high school students will try to cram for an important quiz, test or finish a paper the night before it’s due. That’s not a way to study, or get good grades. Of course, this rule to help you stay focused will work only if you apply the other four for studying. When you take breaks from your study routine, don’t spend a long time doing it. Again, you’ll never get back to your homework. Don’t sit and gorge yourself on very sweet foods either. Just like with loads of caffeine, you’ll crash after the sugar high wears off. Eat a light snack full of protein, and walk around and stretch. Then go and study some more.
All of these techniques, if you apply them consistently, will help you make great grades, and more importantly, it’ll help you be stress free, too. Last minute studying or writing will show up in less than perfect marks, and it doesn’t have to be that way. Besides, it’ll give you extra time to do the things that you want to do, such as spend time with family and friends, or just talk on the phone or computer. Don’t get into the habit of having bad routines, start of the last four years of being in school with a positive attitude each year. You’ll love the routine after a while, and it’s a good way to transition from high school to college or a job. It’s just a matter of practice and commitment.
