My daughter is part of a successful study group. One of the main reasons the group works so well is because all the members are motivated to do well. Each member has a specific role and all the members puts in the same amount of effort.   The members are friends and sometimes may get off track but they have someone in the group whose job is to keep the group focused on the task at hand.

Studying is necessary for all students at some point in their academic careers. I always provide students with guidelines for how to study because most students don’t  know how to study. I always recommend a comfortable and quiet place to study, free from distractions. When my 10th grade daughter studies, I have her put her phone in another room. I also recommend  chunking the studying into smaller sessions instead of studying for hours the night before a test.  I also provide students with different ways to study so they can choose what works best for them.   For example:   Flash cards, study groups, practice problems, rereading text and memorization strategies.

Finding a good place to study will help students identify a specific place where they are able to fully focus and concentrate on a task. Without this, there are many opportunities to get side-tracked, or even multi-tasking, which will not benefit the student in completing the task.
