Many students enroll in college classes without realizing the amount of study time that is expected. On average, students should expect to spend two to three hours outside of class for every hour spent in class. This means for every 3-unit class a student should expect to spend six to nine hours per week studying outside of class. Students with learning disabilities and those whose knowledge of English is limited should expect to study longer. Students who work or have families should consider the time element when deciding how many courses to take. A study schedule helps many students plan their time efficiently. Most students learn best if they study several subjects for short periods each day rather than studying one subject for several hours. Distributing your learning across the week is the most successful method of learning and retention. During study time it is important to have a quiet, well-lighted place, free from distractions. The library is often a good place to study.

IQ  (Intelligence Quotient) is a measure developed from a series of standardized test to measure and compare intelligence among humans. Having a high IQ doesn’t really mean you’re going to be successful in life, but it certainly can help make certain aspects of life easier – especially when it comes to scholastic activities. Although it was once thought that IQ remained static throughout a person’s adulthood, there is some evidence that people can increase their intelligence quotient. Activities that are healthy for your brain are generally related to helping boost IQ. There are links between IQ scores and: social status, parenting, mortality, and morbidity. Additionally, IQ scores can sometimes predict: job performance, educational advancement, income, whether you commit a crime, and special needs. As a human population, IQ has been rising at an average rate of three points per decade since the 1930’s – this is called “The Flynn effect.” 11 Ways to Increase  IQ 1. Exercis
