Som e of us ar e alr eady m ar king our calendar s for next year, thank you to all the par ent chaper ones and teacher s w ho m ade the tr ip possible and of cour se thank you to M s. Lyons and M r s. M aston for planning the tr ip.
1. Im pr ove your note taking, tr y and im agine you?r e m aking them for som eone else. 2. If you'r e tr ying to m em or ize diagr am s, dr aw them out! It helps a lar ge am ount. 3. W hen taking notes on a com puter use Tim es New Rom an font because it is the fastest and easiest font to r ead. 4. Give your self a r ew ar d at cer tain inter vals to help keep your self m otivated. 5. Exer cise can help im pr ove br ain pow er so tr y taking a w alk befor e you star t studying! 6. Avoid studying in the sam e place ever y day. Changing your envir onm ent w hile lear ning helps your r etain know ledge. 7. Chew gum w hile studying! Chew ing gum boosts your concentr ation, its a scientific fact. 8. Get a good night sleep. A lack of sleep r uins m em or y. 9. It's easier to m em or ize things w hen you ar e saying them out loud. 10. Block distr acting w ebsites or apps. Ther e ar e apps that allow you to do that.
