<p>I wanted to add that many colleges have a place that can help you with study skills. You should check if your college offers this. Here is a link to some online resources: [University</a> of St. Thomas : Academic Support Center](<a href=“http://www.stthomas.edu/academicsupport/studyLinks/default.html]University”>http://www.stthomas.edu/academicsupport/studyLinks/default.html) There is also a book I highly recommend called “What Smart Students Know”. Written by a cofounder of the Princeton SAT Prep company, it aims to do for classes what their courses do for students studying for the SAT.</p>
<p>Also I want to suggest that depending on how long ago your school started, you may not have been studying enough. A rule of thumb for many math and science courses is that you’ll spend 3 hours outside of class for every hour of instruction. A typical college class meets for 1 hour 3x a week, so if this is the total amount of studying you’ve done for this class its about 3 weeks worth of studying.</p>
