LOS ALAMITOS, Calif. — Reviewing material from months of content over six classes is a daunting task. Rather than continuously harping over each line in a textbook, here are three alternatives and strategies for time management and focused work time.

1. Use flashcards for key concepts and vocabulary to help with comprehending a whole section.
2. Reread possible key units and sections of the subject textbook. Mark certain pages to review if they are harder to remember.
3. Look over notes in advance — in the future, remember to write notes that pertain to your style that are easier to understand than a teacher’s lecture slides.

Charts for each individual subject and study techniques depending on the class can be helpful for struggling students.

Since managing study time after school can be very difficult, students should prioritize to determine which subjects need the most attention.

• Academic classes like English, math and science will typically need the most focus, but this may depend on whether you are taking honors or AP classes.
• Take practice tests BEFORE going through notes to see which topics specifically you will need to spend the most time studying.
• Each subject should be split up into digestible amounts of information to consume in order to  actually retain what you studied. Don’t overwhelm yourself with too many small details.
• Set timers so you don’t spend too much time on one subject and feel burned out after hours.
