Studying is so important for students, but many students may be troubled that they cannot concentrate on their studies. So I would like to write how to improve your study and test-taking skills.

First, you should use study time usefully. The time students can spare for studying is limited because they have a lot of things they have to do, such as club activity and calligraphy or soccer lessons. So you should find your free time and study even if the time is short. For example, you can read your notebooks when you are taking the trains, and memorize some words before you go to bed.

Second, you should study in diverse ways. People get tired of studying soon if they do it in the same way, but they can keep their concentration by changing styles of studying. For instance, when you memorize English words, you pronounce and listen these words in addition to writing them again and again.

Finally, you should make plans for studying. I think it is most important to count backwards from dates of tests and decide what to do. If you don’t do these things, you may be pressed for preparation for the tests the day before the tests. Besides, the point you ought to pay attention to when you make a plan is that you assign the amount of work you can finish easily in a day, and you make your study go well according to a plan. By doing these ways, your study may be improved and you can study efficiently.
