1. Develop Good Study Habits BEFORE College.A. Note taking: Take notes. Take notes because it will help you learn. Yes, it will—trust me. Taking notes will benefit you. I will tell you why and how. Most people under the age of 45 (people younger than Baby Boomers) are visual and/or kinetic learners. This means that the average person learns by seeing something and/or by doing some form of movement (like shifting around in their chair or doodling) while s/he learns. You’ve seen other people do it, and perhaps you have too. Have you ever remembered something by seeing your notebook or the chalkboard, white board, or smart board? You probably have. If you tend to remember things you hear, often stories associated with a lesson, then you are an aural learner. Most people learn in a blend of different learning styles. So back to note taking: Just do it. It will address your need to be visual and kinetic at the same time. Then if you get nervous during a test, the answer will likely be ingrained in your body through muscle memory.
