Strategies for College Success Presented by Lakemore Academic Skills Center
Get Organized • Time management skills help balance academic, work, and social events • Create a schedule each week that accounts for all activities • Plan two hours of study time for each one hour of class time
Listen Actively • Sit in the front row to focus attention • Do not tolerate distractions • Make mental summaries of material • Be prepared for class • Review notes from books, previous class • Preview material to be covered that day
Excel on Exams • Review test material throughout the week • Cramming for exams is ineffective • Facts remain only in short term memory • Review entire test before answering • Start with the material you know • Think positively and stay focused
