Answer 1

It's important to start with how you learn, process and retain information. With a tutor asking the right questions, setting up organizational tools and a study schedule is next. Focusing on a particular style for a set period of time - until the next marking period, for example - can help determine what worked and what didn't. Adjustments can be made over time to find the most useful strategies and tools for success.

Answer 2

There is no correct way to study since everyone is different. Some students are more visual learners, while others are more auditory. It also depends on the subject. In general, here are some tips to study efficiently.

1. Find an appropiate study place (e.g. library, coffee shops, your home)
2. Use pomodoro technique. Focus for 30 minutes, then take a 5-minute break. Repeat this. Once you can focus deeply for 30 minutes, you can increase it to 35-minute block and so on while keeping a break of 5 or 10 minutes in between block.
3. Use active learning over passive learning. Active learning includes answering questions related to the topic, using flashcards, teaching the subject to someone else or imaginary friend, and annotating and summarizing the text. Passive way of learning includes reading and watching videos.
4. Create a reasonable study plan that is personalized to you and you are capable of sticking to it.
5. Test yourself frequently to see if you're meeting your goals.
6. If motivation is an issue, try studying with a friend or in the library where other people are studying.
