Elementary studies lay the foundation for the future, so it is essential to learn how to learn and study, as well as to learn about individual subjects. The following are suggestions to improve the effectiveness of your study. We encourage students to begin with a proper attitude of the heart in receiving studies as from God, and in doing those studies as ―unto the Lord.
1. Schedule a regular time for study and start promptly without procrastination.
2. Collect all of the materials you will need and set aside distractions that interfere
with your attention.
3. Commit your study time to God in prayer before beginning your work. If you
have accepted Christ as your Savior, you are His child, and you are studying to
honor Him. He has given you the Holy Spirit to lead you into all truth; place this
time and yourself into His hands.
4. Study in a quiet place where you can settle yourself to your work.
5. Concentrate on the work at hand and refuse to entertain irrelevant thoughts.
Think! Study requires the active exercising of the mind.
6. Budget your time to cover all of your studies.
7. Cultivate the dictionary habit.
8. Review your work.
9. Do your own independent research and study on topics that are related to your
class assignments. Be curious!
10. Do your own work. Don’t ask for help unless you are absolutely certain that
you are unable to do the assigned work.
