With the emphasis on grades in school, there are study techniques that will help students learn more efficiently such as studying at decent times, learning the material the correct way, and using his or her time wisely. If the students study at a decent times, he or she stays alert and has full concentration on his or her studies. With full concentration on his or her studies, he or she will retain more information and comprehend more information. Also, when studying at a decent time, the student is not rushed. His or her mind is totally on studying and not doing something else. An other study technique that leads to more efficient study habits is learning the material the correct way. Instead of remote learning, or straight memorization, students should take the time to learn the material. Students need to spread his or her studies out to where he or she takes the time to read ahead, break the material down, and then study the material. He or she needs to use time wisely when doing assignments. This will help the student to get ahead of his or her studies. When the student has extra time on his or her hands, he or she might want to converse with teacher about how his or her grades are doing, and this is a direct effect of their study techniques. These examples are study techniques that can lead to more efficient learning.

When studying at a decent time, such as studying before he or she goes out to party or studying before it is 3:00 in the morning, the efficiency of learning rises tremendously. If a student were to stay up late at night, he or she would be concentrating more on sleep than study time. When studying at a decent time, the student retains more information that he or she has studied. Also, when the student studies at a decent time, he or she is not rushed. When a student is rushed, his or her mind tends wonder and not stay on focus on what is at hand. He or she is thinking of everything that he or she has to do to get caught up. Learning to study at decent times leads to more efficient learning. Learning the material in a correct matter, such as retaining the information, can also lead to more efficient learning.

Learning the material the correct way can easily improve his or her learning efficiency. When a student reads the material, breaks it down, and studies in pieces, he or she learns the material the correct way and is not just memorizing the material. If the student is learning the material, he or she is more likely to remember more and not forget when the test is presented. Plus, when a student just memorizes the material, he or she may forget it the next day. When the student applies him or herself and learns the material the correct way, the material is embedded into the head and not forgotten. For example, if the student were to study an hour right before a test that was nothing but essay, he or she would be presented with a problem. He or she would only remember the major points of the studying and not the minor details, which makes up a good essay. If the student were to study a couple of days before the essay test, he or she would retain more information and would hit on all points of the essay, which would result in a higher grade. Using his or her time wisely can tremendously improve study techniques.

Using time wisely is the major asset in a student learning more efficiently. When a student uses his or her time wisely, he or she is practicing good a study habit. Studying ahead, such as studying before a date or studying before a basketball, is important when trying to improve study techniques. If a student studies ahead of time, he or she does not get behind on assignments and is able to keep on studying without falling behind with other work. For example, a student reads ahead in the book because he or she has some extra time, and then the teacher decides to give a pop quiz or have a lecture on the chapters ahead, then the student is totally prepare due to him taking the time to read ahead. When a student uses his or her time wisely, he or she can sit with the teacher and talk about how he or she can improve, or just talk about an assignment he or she were unclear on. When a student uses time wisely, the student might ask other student if he or she would like to study in their spare time. All these examples lead to more efficient studying.

Studying at decent times, learning the material the correct way, and using time wisely will help a student learn more efficiently. For example, I was making horrible grades in an English class, I then decided I was going to read ahead, spread out my time, and study at a decent times and I saw my grades improving and a lot more stress was off my back. I was able to do all my homework and have time to also have fun. With the emphasis on grades in school, there are study techniques that will help a student learn more efficiently such as mentioned above, studying at decent times, learning the material the correct way, and using time wisely.
