One of the most challenging tasks high school and college students have is learning how to effectively study for tests and exams. Often students face enormous challenges in trying to prepare for exams. Learning college study tips is very important because so much is riding on the success of these exams. This article will provide you with five study tips that will help make you a better test taker the moment you start to implement them and it all starts with the avoidance of distractions.
The first step to being a good test taker is to develop good study habits. The first study tip is to avoid all distractions when you are studying. Choose a location free of distractions. A quiet corner of a library or your room with the door closed or maybe just sitting in your car with no one else around are all examples of quiet places to study. Find that same place every time you study.
When you begin to study for an exam the time frame for when you start studying is important. Begin your study regime at least a week before the exam.
The third tip which most students know but need to be reminded is to not procrastinate. Procrastination can be a killer when trying to score well on exams. Do not wait get started today in whatever your trying to complete.
The final two tips that really worked for me and still continue to work for me is to use flash cards when studying and also ask the teacher or professor what to focus on. The use of flash cards will help you learn the material when you are making the cards. On the front of the card write up questions or vocabulary words and on the back of the cards put the answers to those questions and vocabulary words. These flash cards can be used to quiz yourself or have other study members quiz you. Lastly, ask your teacher or professor what will be on the test and what the format will be and then tailor your studying accordingly.

Plants are shaped by cultivation and men by education. .. We are born weak, we need strength; we are born totally unprovided, we need aid; we are born stupid, we need judgment. Everything we do not have at our birth and which we need when we are grown is given us by education.
(Jean Jacques Rousseau, Emile, On Philosophy of Education)
