How to Be a Better Student: 10 Effective Strategies:
High school is a critical period where good study habits can not only lead to academic success but also build a foundation for future achievements. Being a better student isn’t just about working harder—it’s about working smarter. Here are 10 proven strategies to help you study more efficiently, manage your time effectively, and boost your academic success
1. Use Learning Active Teachniques
Active learning involves engaging directly with the material, rather than passively reading or listening. Techniques like self-quizzing, summarizing, and teaching others have been shown to enhance retention and understanding
Why it works: A study published in Science demonstrated that students who used active recall methods (e.g., self-testing) retained 50% more information than those who simply reread materials . This is because actively engaging with information helps to strengthen neural connectionsg
2. Practice Spaced Repetition
Spaced repetition involves reviewing material at increasing intervals over time rather than cramming the night before a test. This technique helps transfer knowledge from short-term to long-term memory
Why it works: The Forgetting Curve research by Hermann Ebbinghaus shows that information is quickly forgotten if not revisited, but spaced repetition helps combat this decay
3. Create a Study Schedule and Stick to It
Time management is essential for balancing schoolwork with extracurricular activities, family, and social life. A consistent study schedule ensures you allocate time for each subject and prevents last-minute cramming
Why it works: According to a study by the American Psychological Association, students who establish a structured routine with set times for study are more likely to maintain good study habits and avoid procrastination
