Overcoming Study Barriers
HUNGRY – Studying takes energy. Have a snack before you start studying. Have some healthy snacks available while studying.
TIRED – You cannot focus if you are tired. Take a short nap (10-15 minutes) before you begin to study.
NO TIME – Plan your study times. Use a specific time to study.
TOO MUCH GOING ON - Too many fun things going on. Study in a quiet place that is free from distractions and interruptions.
UNCOMFORTABLE – Too hot or cold. Find a study place where the temperature is just right.

Learning Types
Know what type of learner you are. We all have a preferred way of learning but we may not be aware of it. Get to know your learning style and study in the way you learn best.
Auditory Learners: learn by listening. If you are an auditory learner you could try reading your notes aloud and discussing the with other people. You might like to record key point and play them back.
Visual Learners: learn by seeing. If you are a visual learner you could use colours in your notes and draw diagrams to help represent key points. You could try and remember some ideas as images.
Tactile/kinesthetic Leaners: learn by doing. If you are a tactile learner you could use methods like role-playing or building models to revise key points.

Perfectionistic Students
Errors and mistakes are a normal part of learning.
Time and energy needed to produce perfect work will take time and energy away from another task that needs to be completed.
Set reasonable goals for performance.
Finish assignments by setting realistic specific time limits for completion.

Write what you remember of what you have just read (called a retrieval test)
