Extra Tips

Headphones

May want to think about buying noise cancelling headphones. Many Freshman Regians have said that noise cancelling headphones are useful both in the library as well as on a commute whenever you want to study.

Study Guides

Use study guides, but do not make your entire studying dependent on them. If your classmate made your class a study guide for an upcoming quiz, there is a chance that everything he put on the guide is everything you need to know, but there is also a large chance that it isn’t. Moreover, it is also common for some Regians to actually put more than you need to know, which is a major hassle when you are trying to memeorize as much material as you can. The best way to verify this is simply to ask a teacher questions about the material on an assessment.

Pens and Pencils

Always carry both pens and pencils. While this may seem like a no-brainer to some, you will more than likely be in a situation in the middle of the year where you may only be carrying around one pencil or one pen. If you are a person who enjoys using pens to take notes and take assessments this should be fine (unless your teacher says that you need to use a pencil for a test). However, some teachers will only allow black pens or pencils on assessments.

Folders

Keep a folder for all of your past assessments and quizzes. More often than not, Regians will lose their a portion of their past quizzes and assessments throughout the year. However, people often forget that these will be crucial to help you study for your final exams. I recommend having multiple folders (classes such as Math, Science, and Language will be classes in which you will have a lot of papers), if not folders for all of your classes.
