Chapter 3 was about managing time. As students, we need to figure out where are time goes because we need to determine if it’s even going to the right activities that we do. We may not realize that habits of doing certain things at certain times are affecting our work. Therefore, we need to start prioritizing what needs to be done for our own good. In this case, its class work so we need to set up a schedule for ourselves that will help us manage our time much better and be more successful. The amount of energy we have when we do work affects it completely be it negative or positive. As students, we should know what brings us up and what brings us down and should get ourselves to the energy level that will help us better focus on the task at hand. We also tend to study for long periods of time without many breaks because of something that could be due the next day. In this chapter, it suggests that we study throughout the day so we wouldn’t have to deal with everything all at once, but instead piece by piece so we don’t stress out about much whenever it comes close to the time of taking it. procrastinating and distractions are also issues that we deal with and need to learn how to control what goes on around us. If we know certain things will distract us from our work, we should get in the habit of avoiding them or finding a place that we know we can completely focus on our work. Towards the end of the chapter, it talks about how to juggle family, school, and job responsibilities. It all comes down to scheduling our life to the point where we know exactly how much time each task requires and establish an efficient schedule so we do not worry about having sufficient time for each one.
Chapter 8 dealt with excelling at taking tests. There are many types of tests; including, multiple-choice, true or false, matching, essay questions fill in the blank and open book tests. Asking questions
