Ten study tips to helped you improve your study skills, and ultimately your grades:

1. FEED YOUR BRAIN. After a long day in school, your body is overdue for a well balanced home cooked meal. Sit down and enjoy your food, don't just take your dinner to go. You'll be giving your body the nutrients it needs to function. Also, your grumbling stomach can only disrupt your studying.

2. NOW IS THE TIME. Set aside a certain time period every night just for studying. Make sure that you allot yourself enough time to complete all your work, and don't compromise that time for any reason. Schedule your study time for after you have already eaten and had time to "chill out", but early enough in the night that you are still fresh and awake.

3. ASSIGNED SEATING. Besides for having a set time, a set place to study is also very helpful. Find a place where you can spread out, it's quiet, and everything you'd need while you are studying is at your fingertips. If such a place doesn't exist in your house, take a trip to the library.

4. GET IN YOUR ZONE. Now it's time to concentrate. Hold all your calls, turn off the TV, and dive into your work. The sooner you can clear your mind, the sooner you can begin to work, and the sooner you'll be done.

5. CHECK PLEASE. Organizing what you have to do before you do it will ease your mind and allow you to choose the order in which you want to attack your assignments. A checklist is the best way to go about this. As you check off each assignment, the weight will slowly be lifted off of your shoulders and you'll be able to gauge how much time you need to finish your work.
