As a college student your daily schedule is likely to be tight, limiting the amount of study time available to you. The following nine tips will help you make the most out of your study time.

• Make studying a regularly-scheduled part of every day.
• Study difficult subjects and those you do not find very interesting first, when your energy level is higher.
• Be aware of your best time of day when you are the most alert, and use this time for studying.
• Use waiting time to accomplish small tasks.
• Use a regular study area.
• Study where you will be alert (not on your bed, for example, where you may be tempted to nap).
• Agree with roommates about study time.
• Avoid noise distractions.
• For difficult courses, set up a study group with other students from your course. Working with others can be a great motivator.
