What kind of college student are you ??

Studying for college courses can be a heavy task, particularly for new college students. However, with some careful planning and effort, college students can develop some study habits which will maximize their learning potential and increase their grades.
            For many students, the time they reach the sophomore year, the thrilling of being “away” at college and the newness of the experience have faded, leaving in their place a sense of growing urgency about deciding on major or life direction, choosing a career path, and finding the group of friends or a romantic interest. Sophomore year is often characterized by confusion, motivational problems, and occasionally rebellion against parents, professors, or friends.They may findthemselves feeling depressed and alienated and studying listlessly or skipping classes because they feel that their coursework have no meaning for them.
            Their some students those studying right before a test is the least effective way to prepare. Moreover, it is highly strssful and unhealthy, translating to low energy and inability to concentrate once one actually gets to the test. Instead students should take 15 to 30 minutes here to and there to study, a few times a day, even when exams seems on the distant places, this will not only be easier, it will also help one to better remember and actually learn the material come test time. An effective way to do this with simplier material is to write terms or questions on notecards, then carry those notecards around and glance at them throughout the day. May mean that students only need to review the material the night before for about an hour or a little more for maximum points. One thing that many students miss out on is the awesome resources their  sources provide them. Often there are summary pages at the end of the chapters which break down large amounts of information into more bite-size chunks  that are easier to understand.
