One of the cornerstones of effective studying is organization. Before you begin, ensure that your workspace and materials are in order. Keep your notes, textbooks, and study aids accessible and organized. Remember, time spent organizing is time well invested. Use a Year Planner or digital calendar to track important dates, assignments, and exams.

Focus on the most important or challenging topics first. Prioritizing allows you to spend time on subjects that require the most attention, ensuring you're well-prepared for exams or assignments. It also prevents you from wasting time on less critical tasks.
