6 min to readIn online high school, students gain more independence and they also gain more responsibility for their studies. With standardized tests, including ACT®, SAT®, and AP®* tests, approaching, this is the time to develop effective study methods for high school.
Below you will find helpful takeaways about effective study tips and study methods for high school students. This will be a great resource to refer back to later for developing good study skills.
Plan to study for about two hours each dedicated study night, five nights per week. It helps to schedule your time by writing down your study goals at the beginning of the week and then estimating how much time each task will take. You should also assess the urgency of each task and schedule more urgent tasks for the beginning of the week.
The more comprehensive, legible, and organized your notes are, the easier it will be for you to study them. Notes can increase your recall of important information and can be used to call out important topics or ideas that you need to revisit.
Having set a schedule and your study topic priorities is a good start, but be ready to follow through by maintaining your focus when it’s time to crack the books.
If you can add a level of enjoyment or entertainment to your study sessions, you’ll be more motivated to get started and to stick to it each night.
You can’t be on your “A” game if you aren’t taking care of yourself. Being tired or hungry or worked up can adversely affect your focus and ability to remember information.
