Weekly Study Tips:
As Concordia Prep prepares for end of year projects, tests, and exams, the School will be sharing daily study tips to support students in their academic success.
Today's Study Tip: Where you study is just as important as what and how you study. Use small study groups to help focus. Pick a space that won't distract you. Listen to music that will keep you awake and alert, but not distracted. Use a study-break-study routine to help your brain obtain information.
