In order to be successful in college, you'll need to study. Everyone has their own way, so you'll need to find yours. There are many ways to study. The first thing you'll need is something to actually study off of. This could be notes, textbooks, handouts, or anything similar. Reading over over your material isn't always going to help. You should study only one topic or subject at a time so that it doesn't become confusing. Reciting what you know is the best way to begin, so that you're aware of what you know. When you're done with that, read over the notes, or whatever it is you're studying off of, to check what you forgot about. Also, taking breaks helps so that you don't get bored and stay focused. This is only one way of studying. People also work better in different environments, so don't feel like you have to study a certain way.
