Schedule and plan! Don't wait until the last minute or try to take studying all on at once.
Find a place to study that is relatively free of distractions. If there's a lot going on at home or in your apartment, think about using the library or other quiet place.
Turn off all social media and your phone. This time is important, and you need to say no to outside distractions.
Gather all of the materials from the course for which you're studying: textbook, notes, quizzes, exams, study guides, something to write with. Having everything you need in close proximity will keep you focused.
Break
up the time you'll need to study into smaller, more manageable chunks.
For example, set a timer for a specific amount of quiet, uninterrupted
study time (45 minutes to an hour) and focus, focus, focus. Then give
yourself a break for 15-20 minutes to have a snack, bathroom break or go
outside for some fresh air. Then get back to it. Repeat as necessary.
If it's helpful to have a study buddy or a group with you, go for it. Just git 'er dun, cuz cramming never works. Ever.
