Study Skills Checklist for Students

Set a regular time and place to study each day and throughout the week.

Keep a daily “to do” list. Set goals for yourself. Do your reading assignments before the material

is discussed in class. Pay close attention and take good notes in class. Prepare for tests during your regular study times

instead of cramming at the last minute.
