5. Find out what time of day you think and learn better.
6. If you have some problems with your subjects take some time to catch up on what you do not understand. Fortunately, now there is a huge amount of resources to do this (use Coursera or YouTube videos, for example). You can also use the services of a tutor. Do not consider it shameful.
7. Also, do not be ashamed to use the help of a tutor. Today it is very easy to find a professional tutor online (use online tutoring platforms like TutorZ.com, for example).
8. You can use the phone as a glider. But the best choice is to have both: electronic and paper.
9. Do not worry if you failed the test or something like that. Look back, find your error and fix it!10. If during class you want to be distracted, to have something to do, then write these things on a separate piece of paper. After you’re done, you can do all these things. (More to come on when you practice at home)

26. Do as much as possible at school to relax then at home. For example, you can make notes on the topics when you have some free time at school, and then revise them at home.
27. Put priorities in your studying. For example, if in any subject you already have some good knowledge, then you can study it less and focus on another subject.
28. Make flashcards only if you do not understand something or if the information is very important. Again, priorities, do not sit all day, doing only the notes.
