Studying. The vast majority of students anywhere hate it for one reason or another, but (almost) all of us do it so we can get a good grade. So for those of you who hate it or find it challenging, read this article and get some tips on how you can study efficiently to get a good grade for upcoming tests you have in the future, all suggested by other Sahuaro students.

3. “I often try and get rid of all of the distracting things then lock myself in my room; I set a timer for when I’m done (pause it if you get a phone call). This is more of a personal thing, but I sometimes turn the lights off as well.”- Kayla Escobar, Freshman

8. “Definitely pick a room other than your room, otherwise it will be very distracting.”– Maggie Boyd, Junior
9. “Just making sure you have a calm environment to study is a good way to really focus.”– Civana Halsey, Junior
