Studying Methods

To be successful in the upper grades it is very important to develop effective study skills.  Remember that it takes many repetitions to move information into long term memory, and it is most effective for these repetitions to take place over several days.  Never wait until the day before a test to start studying!

Below is a list of some websites that will help you learn effective study skills.  Try several methods and see what works for you.  Whichever method you choose, the key is to study a little bit each day. 


If any of the links below no longer work, please let me know so I can either remove it from the list or find a website containing similar information. Thank you!
