James’ Formula for Being a Good College Student

  1. Pray over your schooling and before your tests, asking for help to remember what you’ve studied and what you’ve learned.
  2. Sit up front so that the instructor gets to know you, and so that you’ll resist any urges to fall asleep.
  3. Take complete notes of both the lectures and your reading. When exam time arrives, all you have to do to prepare is to read through your notes.
  4. No Sabbath day studying, except for your religion class.
  5. Treat school like an 8:00 to 5:00 job, using the free hours to study in the library. This eliminates burning the midnight oil; insures that you’re always rested, alert and energetic; and leaves the evening hours for spending quality time with family.
  6. Keep the commandments and do your church duties.
