For Students…

• Learn how to appropriately search Google to get the most accurate and relevant results. For instance, you can use quotation marks around certain words in your Google search. By doing so, the program will generate resources that contain the complete phrase and eliminates irrelevant information.

• Use scents to improve your memory of information. It is recommended that people chew the same type of gum or spray the same type of perfume during the exam as they used while studying.

• Color-code your notes so information is easier to locate. Another option is to go back through and highlight keywords and terms.

• Make flashcards to help you remember the material. By making these cards, students read their notes, rewrite the information in their own words, and practice the class material over and over again. This is a great memory aid.

• Use lemon juice to reduce the color of unwanted highlighter marks.

• Take the time to write your notes. Studies show that writing notes by hand helps with memory comprehension.

• Create a "quick sheet" of all the important and essential information that you would need for a quiz or examination. This helps people identify the key ideas taught in the lectures.

• When doing a research paper, go to the online Wikipedia page created for your research paper. By looking at the bibliography at the bottom of the page, you will find a list of resources, like websites, books, and videos, on the topic of your paper. It will give you a place to start if you are completely lost and confused.

• Try to predict the questions that may be on an examination, and make sure to record your answers.

• While you study, listen to music that promotes concentration. Classical music is one such genre.

• Motivate yourself with food when reading. If you make it to a certain page or passage in your required reading, reward yourself with a sweet treat like gummy bears or chocolates.

• If there is enough time before an examination, relisten to lectures at double speed.

• Use easy-to-read fonts for assignments.

• Look online for sample tests that are available. Test what you know before it really matters!
