The most common barrier to success stumbled upon by college students don’t have the effective techniques for study and exam preparation and the most common question is “how to make study more efficient".

In daily life education students face many challenges and milestones in their years. It is started when they enter school either in an early education program or during the whole education completion, but student must learn how to pay attention to the teachers, get along with other students and find the best path to learning and summarizing the course. Over time other challenges are put in their pathways such as more complicated prospectus and finding time to complete projects and studying. Students learn how to study during their middle and high school years; it is only the beginning of the challenges.

                                                                             

When the students are in middle or high school, teachers are charged with leading students to study

and prepare for class and tests. The teachers and administration of the school are also industrious to make sure that the students attend class, paying attention to their teachers and pass all the needed courses. The direction that the schools give them, just because of that  they are able to complete the tasks. However, once students start on to attend college, they need to be more self-directed.

To help students become more effective in college or in school some stress relief techniques are there: 

Some techniques are given to cope up with the stress. Students need to create a routine in studying working out and sleeping at certain hours. Always give yourself a break from studies. Always be realistic towards the study. Students always try to understand that everything can not be done. If you're feeling plagued, reach out and ask for help from professors and friends. Always try to have yoga. 

It’s easy to start a small project or studying for a test until the last minute for this give plenty to yourself. 

 

There are some techniques which need to apply in day to day schedule. 

Always try to take the notes for a particular class in the same notebook. Spiral bound notebooks were produced because they solved the problem of keeping related information consolidated in one place. Your notes should contain as complete a record of what the instructor said in the class. you should not try to write every word spoken, but need to note down the important words which are spoken by the teacher and  don't leave out ideas. Just because of this idea when you study, your notes should call back to your mind the entire sequence of ideas presented. Students just need to take care to spell all new words carefully. It you don't know how to create a right word, just ask to your instructor or teacher to write it on the board. 

In the case of any confusion just ask the question to the instructor to clear all the doubts. Confusion is definitely the worst enemy of each and every student’s life. If your class organized group or individual activities, participate or put your effort as fully as you can. Such exercises are held for the students benefit. 

Reviewing the notes and the material which are provided, before the next class period allows you to identify points of confusion or blunder in your notes, which prepares you to ask the questions you need to ask before the next lecture to the instructor.

 

In the high school most teachers, many college instructors don't give specific reading assignments to be get done. Students are expected to go to their text for the reading related to the materials covered in class. Always try to be independent enough to do this without being told.

                                                                                                       

 It will be most functional for you to at least read quickly the relevant chapters before each lecture. When you first approach a chapter, page through it fairly rapidly, noting boldface headings and subheadings, examining figures, illustrations, charts, etc., and thinking about that  highlighte the vocabulary terms and concepts.

It is a serious matter to take whole review about the study questions at the end of the chapter. Try to give the best answer of all the given questions. You may also want to expand a system of cross referencing symbols to use your class notes to your notes from the text.

Don't disappear assignments until the day before they are due! If you have a paper to write or a lab report to prepare or any assignment, just start work on it as soon as possible. In most cases, instructors will be happy to receive work early. It should always keep in mind that many papers or projects require quite a bit of research before you can even begin writing. In most cases, it is not possible to achieve the necessary preparation in one day or even one week. At the end of  time instructors won't accept late work at all. 

Always try to Keep in mind that you need to be an active learner, not a passive one. The more you use and manipulate the information and make it more effective, the better you will able to understand it. Using and manipulating information in as many ways as possible also make best use of your ability to access your memory. 

Always highlight major topics and subtopics, with the goal of generating an outline of your notes. And also underline the topics and subtopics. Even if you take your notes in outline domain, this is a good practice for exam. Major topics often enlarge through more than one day's lecture. With a second color, highlight all vocabulary terms.

The most effective study techniques among the all range of learning conditions are practice testing and distributed practice, the researchers report.

The most effective techniques among the education worlds is to make these practice techniques. So that students could mostly experience their consequences on learning and class grades.”

Many textbooks do not give confidence distributed learning. Related material is often clustered together and consequent units do not review previously covered material. Educators can give confidence in distributed learning and discourage cramming with more frequent testing. Students frequently will not engage in distributed study unless the circumstances force them to do so. Teachers can also better instruct students about the reasons for and advantages of distributed practice.

 

In elaborative interrogation, teachers ask students to make available the explanations for explicitly stated facts. Elaborative interrogation takes little training but it is limited to separate factual statements. With longer texts, effect on learning is weakening if teacher poses questions uncommonly, such as every 1-2 pages. Researchers give some rate this technique as having judicious utility not only because it may not be that useful with extensive or more complex texts but it also seems to largely benefit students with low levels of sphere knowledge, researchers write. There is solid evidence that it is effectual for short-term learning, but it is uncertain if it is effective for long-term retention.

Summarization—Summarization is practicable for learners who already know how to sum up and less so for younger students (middle school and below) and students with lack of abilities, according to the researchers. It also may necessitate widespread training for some students.

Highlighting—highlighting the points seems to do little to increase performance and may actually hurt performance on higher-level tasks that entail deduction making. Most students do not emphasize effectively and underline too much material so that the major points get lost, according to the researchers.

Keyword mnemonic—The attempt involved in using this technique, i.e. engender keywords may not be the most competent use of time given that recovery practice benefits retention as much as the keyword mnemonic. Astonishingly, use of keyword mnemonic leads to gather speeded forgetting since students may have difficulty remembering which word the image is supposed to trigger.

Imagery use for text learning—visualizing text can advance students’ learning of text materials. However, the advantages of imagery are largely limited to image-friendly materials and this technique has only been shown to be successful in tests of memory. Further investigate is needed.

Rereading—this technique is one that students most habitually report using during self-regulated study. Some studies have reported that 18% of students revise intact chapters and another 62% reread parts of the material.
