Don’t study with your phone in the room or in grabbing distance. Go somewhere else if you need to, like a different building. Set goals instead of just trying to study, like ‘I will read these chapters tonight’. Start studying as soon as you learn the material, don’t wait until right before a test. Also, ask the prof if they have a study guide and if not, what you should study. Many profs will flat out tell you what’s being covered on exams.
