Motivation is very important for college. It can be with grades, what your learning, and what you can and cant control

You can control your own grades, but sometimes cant control other problems in your life. -

Studies are important if you are going for a major.

Write down how much time you are spending on things, and write down a schedule and amount of minutes you are spending on things. Think of your fixed life activities.

Prioritized what is the most important that is coming up ((like a test tomorrow))

What is urgent and less urgent, whats more important and less important?

Prioritize what you need. Weather its school, family, physical or mental, ect.

Testing learning preferences is very important, as some people are better visual, kinesthetic, auditory or reading and writing.

People can be better taking notes and writing down things

and others are better with more interacting

Find the one that best fits you as it will REALLY help your learning and studying.

Space out the amount of chapters you need to read

Check your attitude before reading a book as it will affect the way you read

Remember to annotate and highlight words that you dont understand

These will help your reading experience much better and easier

Why take notes? Its been known to be very good at helping students before exams, as it keeps what they have learned fresh in their mind.

Listening can be hard for some people who have things like ADHD. However things like fidgets can help with that.

Highlighting things in your notes can also really help with what your really need to focus on that's harder for you to understand

Test taking strategies

People can struggle with test taking (I am one of them)

Lowering test anxiety can be reviewing your notes, calming your emotions with coping mechanisms

dont set yourself too a high expectation. Everybody has a bad test.

Write down how you're feeling before and after the test happens.

If you are in a very bad mindset going into a test ((Something bad happened like a loss in the family)), Talk to your professor about a reschedule possibly for your test, or try your best to get through the test.

Thinking

Focus on what you are spending on, and its recommended to have seperate bank accounts

Its important to not rank up debt, be careful with taking student loans.

Finding a job can also be very important, but focusing on your education is a big priority.
