Complete assignments on time by making a schedule and sticking to it, create a dedicated study place, organize work time, and relax. Study at least three hours each day, right after class if possible, and divide time between classes. Start studying for major exams at least a week in advance by reviewing notes and quizzes, taking practice tests to identify weak areas, and studying and testing yourself again. Complete all homework assignments whether they are graded or not because they are assigned to teach important concepts.
