The obvious answer is whatever works best for you, but i'm curious as to how everyone else does it.

I just got my first semester grades and I did not do as well as I had hoped. While not horrible, I got all B's. I was right around the mean in every class so all my final number scores were very close. Obviously I would like to get
A's and I believe I am capable of it. With all my grades being clumped together (4 point difference between highest and lowest, as opposed to some friends of mine who had as much as a 20 point difference), I feel that my problem is not a lack of understanding of the material but rather a preparation issue. Thus, I am looking for a better way to study.

Last semester I briefed every case and made my outlines at the end of the semester. I did not join a study group b/c I prefer to study alone and I did not use much in the way of study aids.

This semester, I feel that I need to try something different in order to improve. I thought I would try book-briefing and making my outlines as I go along, while constantly reviewing with study aids. I also think I am going to join a study group, not so much to make an outline with other people, but rather to just talk about practice problems.

I am curious to find out what other people did and how it worked. Since the semester just started, I want to get into a solid routine without experimenting too much. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I rather to study alone too,and I can get achievement as well as I hope even more.
I just try to do the best I can,and with self confidence studying become easier for me....

hemmm i prefer study alone too and dont forget with listening music, it is help me so much to get out of stress..

try to understand the lesson, not only read and remembering it
also try to have interest in the lesson

try to study when you are fresh for example after geting up from sleep. also study from some extra books other than your corse text. if you can find, take help from old student's notes.

The best way of study is doing it in a quite place, some classical music, some tea or coffee with a snack of course, and the most important is we are really intent to study it.

i think it's good to join the study group
but what worked best for me was 'learn it by example', so i try to get many test examples and solve it coz from my experience the test is similar to each other from year to year

The best way to study in my opinion is sit in a branch in a morning with a glass of tea enjoying beautiful sunrise

hmm...
i think study is nonsense...
why you must study History if you want to be a Model...
why you must study math if you want to be a soccer player??

am i right??

No, no, no.. that's not right...
sometimes we need a history knowledge even we are a Model...just to know it.
either with the math... because almost every day we met math, even sometime we didn't realize it.

I like to listen to music while I'm studying. It makes the whole thing much less boring. I don't think you should listen to music with lyrics though, just instrumental stuff so that it won't actually distract you from your work.
Also, if you record yourself saying things and then listen to them while you're sleeping, you're more likely to remember them. (You obviously have to go through them while you're awake as well.)
Write notes, as many as you can, and then read through them until you can remember everything on the sheet. That way you won't forget what's on them.

yeah...
i agree to you...
music can lose your stress a lot...
i think when we study instrumental music is the best to hear...
