depends on your use of time. Here are some important things to remember.
* Begin each term by filling in a master plan. First fill in things you must do (classes, work, practice, etc. That you can't change). Then find the most effective use for these times.
* Set a regular time and place for study. This will save you time in the long run. If you have a study hall in your school, use it！
* Use daylight hours to study whenever possible. For most people for every hour of study done in daylight hours, it will take them one and a half hours to do the same task at night.
*Take breaks. Don't plan marathon study time. Have a short rest before you study again. *By using flash cards or summary sheets, you can use odd times to study-----while you're waiting for class to start or for a friend to pick you up. * If possible, plan study time with a partner. Choose your partner wisely however. Make sure you study, not socialize yourself.
* Do the most difficult tasks when you are active. (Take math for example: when you're energetic, it will become easier to solve; when you're tired, it will be impossible ! )
*Make a daily checklist. Do the most important tasks first.
