Develop Good study Habits
In college, you’ll need to build on the study skills that you learned in high school. The demands of a college class are probably more rigorous than those you are used to. You can succeed by knowing what to expect and how to handle it.
Think of a college as a full-time job, in which you spend 40 hours a week on class, lab, study groups and doing homework.

Being organized and using your time well are essential. Lean more about time management, and use the guidelines below to develop your study skills.
Decide when to study
Work out about how many hours you need to study every day. Then make a schedule.
. Figure out what block of time you have available throughout the day, in the evening and on the weekends.

. Consider what time of day you are most alert. . .  there are morning people and night owls . . . .  and try to schedule your studying accordingly.

. Think about whether you do better studying for a few hours at a time or sitting down for marathon sessions.

My strategy for written assignments: Everyone has their own writing styles. I generally come up with an idea and do massive amounts of research before I ever think about writing. I then organize my research then sometimes prepare an outline before actually writing. I always print out the paper and come back to it the next day and read it. That is the easiest way for me to catch my own mistakes. I have to give my eyes a break from it, and if I just wrote it I think it looks perfect. But if I look at it a day later I almost always find errors for phrases and sentences I just want to reword.

How I succeed in team projects: Never assume someone is doing what they are supposed to be doing. Have regular meetings and have each member show their work, not just give you or the group their word for it.

How I study for multiple exams, deal with multiple projects: really it is my time management that I explained above. If I see I have multiple things due or to study for all at the same time I spread out my time beforehand. For example, if I have Monday, and 2 test Tuesday then I will study for my Monday test Thursday and part of Friday. Start studying for my next test on the second half of Friday and part of Saturday, then my second Tuesday test on Saturday as well and part of Sunday. Then Sunday night I can review for my Monday test because I really studied for it. When that test is over I can begin reviewing for the other test. My overall study method; I try to break it up over several days or at least 2. I get bogged down if I try to pull an all-night how I’ve overcome an initial bad grade; if I received a low grade I probably knew it was coming because I didn’t prepare properly or I didn’t use the right study habit for that class. I usually try to go over what I did wrong and sometime discuss with the teacher what I can do differently on the next exam or what they suggest I do for studying for the next exam.

My overall study method: I break up studying over several days  and over the course of the evening and day. Cramming never works for me so I try not to do it I will have longer sessions on nights before big tests, but I never stay up much later than normal before tests. I now what if I take the test tried the next day I will not do as well as I rested. How I overcome an initial bad grade : I usually look over the test  or paper to see what I did that the teacher did not want. Basically, I do not stress out about grades because for me they are not worth getting really upset about. I do well because I now that I know the material. However if I get a bad grade, or one lower than I expected., I make sure that the next time a test is coming I study even more so that I won’t be surprise by the questions.

How I deal with multiple projects/test: when I have more than one test or project, I break up my studying. I will study for one test for 30 minutes or so and then switch to the other one. If they are some part of the project that I know will not take me very long, I will do it when I don’t have much time. If I am really in a crunch for time on  a specific day will study for one test in the morning and the other in the afternoon or at night. By breaking u the studying into different sections, I feel like I get much more done. Cream sessions do not work for me. I need to study something for a shorter period of time more often for it to sink in.
