Job Description

Sometimes it’s hard to stay on top of your game when it comes to doing homework or preparing for a test, but we’re here to help. Here are eight effective study tips, brought to you by Carthage College students, to help you be successful in your college classes.

1. Keep yourself organized

“A study tip that I have used for so long is to plan ahead. I love staying organized and keeping track of all of my assignments and upcoming tests. I do this by making a giant Google spreadsheet with all upcoming tasks. This way, I can easily know when I need to work on something or start studying for a test.” —

2. Slow down and pace yourself

“The best study tip I have for other students is to have breaks throughout your study time. It’s helped me a lot with my focus and retention of information in a lot of my classes. Taking breaks while studying gives you mental breaks and can help keep you engaged in what you’re doing.” —

3. Study with a buddy

“Study with friends who are also studious. It helps so much to get in that mindset when you have someone else holding you accountable.”

4. Use the library

“One study tip that has really helped me to succeed here at Carthage is utilizing the study rooms in the library. The individual and group study rooms are great places to go to focus on something like an exam or a paper because they are both quiet places that provide students with a space to really focus on what you need to do without distractions.” —

5. Go to a tutor

“I would suggest using the tutors in your class, if they have them. Sometimes, even if you think you are doing fine in class, the tutor can help you understand something differently, and it might give you a different outlook on a topic.” —

6. Connect with classmates

“Get to know people in your classes and your major. When I started to get to know more people within my major, I was able to join study groups and ask those students for clarification when I was confused. It has been very helpful to get to know my peers, and it makes me happy to know people who share a strong passion for education and who are incredibly intelligent and talented.” —

7. Talk to your professors and use campus resources

“A study tip that I think is important is to talk to your professors! They are great resources for information and wisdom, and they’ve dedicated so much of their time and passion for learning and teaching their subjects. They are always more than happy to help you if you’re struggling. There are also excellent on-campus resources, like peer tutoring and the Brainard Writing Center, for additional help.” —

8. Find what works best for you

“Find out what works for you and stick to it. If studying alone and reading things out loud is for you, then do it. If studying with a friend and doing flashcards or practice quizzes works best, grab a friend from class and get to it. But do not push anything off. Life gets in the way sometimes and it is easy to forget about due dates, but utilize that Google calendar and study hard.” —
