Studying can be hard depending on the way you learn and other things you do outside of school like jobs and sports.
What type of learner are you?

Once you know what type of learner you are you can work out how best you can study:
Visual
Social learners like to work with others and may find role plays, tutoring, quizzes or telling others that you will study so they will hold you responsible.
Solitary learners may find it helpful to set goals that they care about and find a way to link personal interest into the subject ie studying a book you like for English.
Generally
Create a calendar or time table not only for what you will study but for when things like exams and internals are due to see when things are and break the tasks down.
Find ways that you enjoy to study which will be easier once you know what type of learner you are and find people who are similar to you and see what helped them to make studying less of a chore.

Visual
- Draw diagrams and flow charts
- Visualise processes for sciences and maths
- Colour code your notes with highlighters and markers
- Watch YouTube animations of things you don’t quite understand
- Learn the full reasons and processes behind things you need to learn so they make more sense
- Bullet point key ideas to study
- View the things to study as a bigger picture with each section as little sections of it
- Link things together, mindmaps can be helpful for this
- Use rhymes or alliterations to memorise key ideas
- Create songs to sing to yourself to remember things
- Record yourself saying your notes and listen to them or read your notes out to yourself
- Use flash cards or cut notes up and try to piece them back together like a puzzle
- Use modelling clay to make things to represent ideas
- Try and get friends to study with you and create role plays
- Use big whiteboards to create large drawings
