I studied high school in California and in Cebu, during those times I never realized the importance of studying. I always turned in my assignments but I just made them to pass the class. I spent a lot of my time with my friends, going to the mall. It was only when I got to college that I realized how important studying was. In class, I felt like I was the only student who didn't know the answers... But that was only because I didn't read the assignment. After a couple of weeks in college, I got my act together and I started studying. It was then I realized that I should be doing it for myself. I was happy because I not only learned many new things. I also gained more knowledge about everything around me. I made it a habit to always complete my assignments so that I can be a better person.
Sometimes I wonder how other people study.. If its during the day, or night. If they can study better with others, or if they study in the library.
For me, I enjoy studying at home because I like it quiet and I can concentrate on what I am reading. I also have a hard time studying with others because I tend to talk to them and make kwento. I also take breaks every 1 hour or so. This lets me gain energy to continue studying again.
What other studying habits do other people have?

I usually take down notes and listen to slow music when i study. It really works for me!
yes, that's a good study habit, schoolgirl.. :) because by taking down notes while studying will make you remember your notes more. slow music will lessen your sleepiness while studying. :)
i do that too, but sometimes with loud or fast music. slow music is better, though. :)
To schoolgirl, I agree with sara, try listening to Beethoven or to Chopin! Studies show that they stimulate students' mind to focus more when they are studying.
I agree :)Classical music helps you remember concentrate more and remember what you have studied!
Good stuff.
- Benito
Listening to Canon in D major helps me to concentrate while studying. =D
Thank you, Sir Benito :)
well i listen to music too but i dont choose which type... hehe but another way i do is i have a movie playing or the tv is on so that i can listen to something but sometimes this technique is not really effective for others bec they might get distracted
eep...high school, a past I would not rather bring up. Was a very lazy student then and would fail subjects right and left :(
But,on the subjects that I DID exert effort in, i would listen to the music appropriate for the subject. CHinese music for chinese subjects, and english music for engligh, filipino for filipino. I also do outlining and repetitive writing so I for memory work.
Jewelz Lim's reply:
I think highschool was a big part of my life.. We all learn differently and I think you just have to find your own way of doing things. I really think that's a great idea. Chinese music for chinese subjects, I think it would help when trying to remember things. That's a new idea for me, I think I could try that out, thanks! :)

High School education is very important
You don't need fancy highbrow traditions or money to really learn. You just need people with the desire to better themselves.
-- Adam Cooper and Bill Collage
I want to study with my friends
i like studying before going to sleep
it's nice to know we have different study habits
An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you do know and what you don't.
--Anatole France
The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet." by Aristotle
This is how it is today: The teachers are afraid of the principals. The principals are afraid of the superintendents. The superintendents are afraid of the board of education. The board is afraid of the parents. The parents are afraid of the children. The children are afraid of nothing!
--Milton berle
"Education is the movement from darkness to light."
-Allan Bloom
Education in our times must try to find whatever there is in students that might yearn for completion, and to reconstruct the learning that would enable them autonomously to seek that completion.
Education is a wonderful thing. If you couldn't sign your name you'd have to pay cash.
It is not enough to have a good mind; the main thing is to use it well."
-Rene Descartes
"An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don't."
-Anatole France
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence."
-Robert Frost
I take a nap once in a while while reviewing, bad habit
"Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths pure theatre."
Since every effort in our educational life seems to be directed toward making of the child a being foreign to itself, it must of necessity produce individuals foreign to one another, and in everlasting antagonism with each other.
-Emma Goldman
"The advantage of a classical education is that it enables you to despise the wealth which it prevents you from achieving."
Education – compulsory schooling, compulsory learning – is a tyranny and a crime against the human mind and spirit. Let all those escape it who can, any way they can.
-John Holt
"The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth."
-John Fitzgerald Kennedy
listening to mellow music
"The fireworks begin today. Each diploma is a lighted match. Each one of you is a fuse."
so go get your diploma without delay!!
Education, then, beyond all other devices of human origin, is the great equalizer of the conditions of men -- the balance-wheel of the social machinery.
Discussion in class, which means letting twenty young blockheads and two cocky neurotics discuss something that neither their teacher nor they know.
"Education and admonition commence in the first years of childhood, and last to the very end of life."
A Student is the most important person ever in this school...in person, on the telephone, or by mail.
A Student is not dependent on us...we are dependent on the Student.
A Student is not an interruption of our work..the Studenti s the purpose of it. We are not doing a favor by serving the Student...the Student is doing us a favor by giving us the opportunity to do so.
A Student is a person who brings us his or her desire to learn. It is our job to handle each Student in a manner which is beneficial to the Student and ourselves.
All men who have turned out worth anything have had the chief hand in their own education."
A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.
"Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten."
Education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.
"In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards."
All schools, all colleges, have two great functions: to confer, and to conceal, valuable knowledge. The theological knowledge which they conceal cannot justly be regarded as less valuable than that which they reveal. That is, when a man is buying a basket of strawberries it can profit him to know that the bottom half of it is rotten.
"I have never let my schooling interfere with my education."
If you consider what are called the virtues in mankind, you will find their growth is assisted by education and cultivation.
"Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire."
"Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the world's work, and the power to appreciate life."
Bad habits are like a comfortable bed, easy to get into, but hard to get out of."
so eliminate those bad study habits
We first make our habits, and then our habits make us."
"Habit and routine have an unbelievable power to waste and destroy."
Habit is a cable; we weave a thread each day, and at last we cannot break it.
Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.
It takes a village to raise a child.
It is, in fact, nothing short of a miracle that the modern methods of instruction have not entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry.
It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education.
The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.
Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands.
Children require guidance and sympathy far more than instruction.
Education is the transmission of civilization.
All who have meditated on the art of governing mankind have been convinced that the fate of empires depends on the education of youth.
Creativity is a type of learning process where the teacher and pupil are located in the same individual.
Thank goodness I was never sent to school; it would have rubbed off some of the originality.
We cannot hold a torch to light another's path without brightening our own.
good study habits is a key to good grades
I found one day in school a boy of medium size ill-treating a smaller boy. I expostulated, but he replied: 'The bigs hit me, so I hit the babies; that's fair.' In these words he epitomized the history of the human race.
The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think - rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with thoughts of other men.
If we value independence, if we are disturbed by the growing conformity of knowledge, of values, of attitudes, which our present system induces, then we may wish to set up conditions of learning which make for uniqueness, for self-direction, and for self-initiated learning.
The aim of education is the knowledge not of fact, but of values.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
It has always seemed strange to me that in our endless discussions about education so little stress is laid on the pleasure of becoming an educated person, the enormous interest it adds to life. To be able to be caught up into the world of thought -- that is to be educated.
To be able to be caught up into the world of thought -- that is educated.
It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows.
We must not believe the many, who say that only free people ought to be educated, but we should rather believe the philosophers who say that only the educated are free.
n times of change, learners inherit the Earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.
You must learn day by day, year by year, to broaden your horizon. The more things you love, the more you are interested in, the more you enjoy, the more you are indignant about, the more you have left when anything happens.
Education: a debt due from present to future generations.
Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
It is not so important to know everything as to appreciate what we learn.
Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in and the great ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line, and you waited with beating heart for something to happen? I was like that ship before my education began, only I was without compass or sounding line, and no way of knowing how near the harbor was. "Light! Give me light!" was the wordless cry of my soul, and the light of love shone on me in that very hour.
Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in the form of inert facts.
i can review even inside a vehicle
that's hard. I get dizzy reading while moving
i can't study without a cup of good tasty coffee with me
They say its good to have chocolates while stuying
I ask my mom to help me review
WHEN a number of school students were asked, ‘What do you worry about most?’ 51 percent said, “Grades”!
Little wonder that school grades are a major source of anxiety among youths
Grades can mean the difference between graduating and being left behind, between obtaining a well-paying job and getting only a minimum wage, between receiving the praise of parents and incurring their wrath.
“Test results can reveal areas of strength and weakness of individual students and act as motivating devices for future study.” Your grades also serve to give your parents some idea of how you are doing in school—for better or for worse.
Too much concern about grades, however, can create paralyzing stresses and ignite fierce competition.
One textbook on adolescence observes that college-bound students can especially be “caught up in a competitive maze that emphasizes grades and class rank rather than learning.” As a result, to quote Dr. William Glasser, students “learn early in school to ask what is going to be on the test and . . . study only that material.”
education means more than racking up points on tests. It means developing what King Solomon called “thinking ability,” the skill of taking raw information and drawing sound, practical conclusions from it. (Proverbs 1:4)
I like cramming in exams, it's exciting
A youth who manages to get passing grades through guessing, cramming, or even cheating never really learns how to think. And what good is a high grade in math if later on you find yourself unable to balance a checkbook?
It is important that you view grades, not as an end in themselves, but as a helpful means of gauging your progress at school.
poor students tend to “blame their poor [school] performances on sources beyond their control: unfair test questions, a prejudiced teacher, bad luck, fate, the weather.”
“The lazy one is showing himself desirous, but his soul has nothing.” (Proverbs 13:4)
Yes, laziness is often the real reason for low grades.
Good students, however, take responsibility for their learning.
Personal motivation helps you keep going
Putting yourself on a schedule and organizing your time
You have to set goals for yourself
Yes, how good your grades are depends for the most part, not on factors beyond your control, but on YOU—how hard you are willing to study and apply yourself in school.
some youths sincerely feel they are already working themselves to the bone but getting no results
researchers at Stanford University (U.S.A.) polled some 770 students and asked how much effort they felt they were putting into their schoolwork.
Oddly enough, students with low grades thought they worked as hard as anybody! Yet when their study habits were examined, it was discovered that they actually did far less homework than their high-achieving schoolmates.
The lesson? Perhaps you too are not studying as hard as you think you are, and some changes would be in order
. An article in the Journal of Educational Psychology showed that simply making “an increase in time spent on homework has a positive effect on a student’s grades in high school.”
In fact, “with 1 to 3 hours of homework a week, the average low ability student can achieve grades commensurate with an average ability student who does not do homework.”
You may similarly have to institute a get-tough policy with yourself, especially if TV or other distractions easily divert your attention from studying. You might even try putting a sign on the TV that says, “No TV until homework is done!”
Most of us would benefit from having a quiet place that is set aside for study
. If you share a room or if space is limited in your home, improvise! Perhaps the kitchen or someone’s bedroom can be proclaimed your study area for an hour or so each evening.
Or as a last resort, try a public library or a friend’s home
If possible, use a desk or a table with plenty of space on which to spread out your work.
Keep supplies such as pencils and paper handy so you won’t have to get up constantly.
Make sure, that you have adequate, glare-free lighting.
Good lighting reduces study fatigue and protects your eyes as well.
check ventilation and room temperature
A cool room provides a more invigorating study environment than a warm room does.
What if you are simply not in the mood for studying?
view homework as an exercise in self-discipline, a rehearsal for later work experience.
If possible, studying should be done in the same place and at the same time every day. Thus, regular study will become a habit, and will reduce your resistance to study
Be businesslike about it
At a secular job, you will have to work every day—whether you are in the mood for it or not
At Philippians 3:16, Paul encouraged Christians to “go on walking orderly in this same routine.”
Try, for instance, to organize what you are going to study
Avoid studying similar subjects (such as two foreign languages) in sequence
Plan brief breaks between subjects, especially if your homework load is heavy.
First, SURVEY your material.
Glance through the assigned material, looking at subheadings, charts, and so forth, in order to get an overall view of it.
Next, make up QUESTIONS based on chapter titles or topic sentences. (This keeps your mind focused on what you read.)
Now READ, looking for the answers to these questions.
When you have finished each paragraph or section, RECITE, or tell yourself from memory, what you have read, without looking at the book.
And when you have finished the entire assignment, REVIEW by scanning headings and testing your memory of each section.
Some claim that this method has helped students retain up to 80 percent of what they read!
thanks Sarah, i can try your suggestions
