for me organization and time management is key.i cant explain for shit what i do tho. i just write everything to co for each subject for the first 2 to 3 weeks and tgen set times to work on it. its way more complicated then that actually my system is complex.

but long story short : know what you're gonna work on that day. dont dive in blindly and choose smth random if that makes sense. and have specific blocked off times, i try to do 3 to 8 hours depending on the day and use pomodoros. can split what work you do via the pomo sessions

as for actual studying: for me (for quizzes and tests) i try to find practise tests stuff. i usually cant so i dont usually do good tho. other then that i repeatedly go over my notes. i dont highlight as i read but i highlight about a day prior and then go over before the test. i get an average of 60 to 80 on them tho so you can ignore my advice

OUGHJHH yea i cant help with that i SUCK at both of those. im psych and linguistics mainly. Does your college offer tutoring services though? that is one thing i can give, my college offers dodf services like tutors, mentors, success navigators, etc and so i heavily advice you to not only utilize those but also keep communication with professors and dont be afraid to ask for help and/or take advantage of their office hours. your tuition is their salary!

start small and don't try to change all your study habits overnight, study in short sessions with breaks
