Honestly, it depends on the subject and what I am trying to do. But the most important thing for me is NOISE. I HAVE to have some sort of noise in the background. I don't care if it is the TV, the radio, my family...something has to break the silence for me. Always.

For memorization, I usually rewrite until I get it. This is normally with Spanish vocabulary because I will need the words for the Spanish class I will take as a senior.

If I'm just trying to remember something for the test (which I do quite frequently...), I either make flashcards or read through my notes. I tend to make flashcards for history, government, and economy because those are my weakest areas. For classes like chemistry, I read through my notes...chemistry is fairly easy for me though.

I almost never study for math. If I do, it is because I am struggling with a certain part of it, which almost never happens. This has only backfired on me once, which is a good thing. (:

I always do any review sheet that teachers hand out, and I always study for semester tests, mainly because they are worth so much of my grades. Otherwise I probably wouldn't...I still use the above study techniques, if that is what you want to call them.

These have helped me maintain a 4.0 through 5 semesters of high school, and I am currently a junior in my second semester (6th semester total). Almost done, can't wait! (:
