I spent the summer before my entrance back into the University system reading Cal Newport's books on How to be a Straight A student. His books are really great at giving you practical advice and actual study habits, which he got from other straight A students (and not from doctors running clinical 'tests').
The books are great for helping you set up a system to succeed. As a student with bipolar, I need an incredible amount of structure and restrictions in order to keep my student-life stable, and Cal Newport's books have helped me build a structure and schedule for me to succeed at school.
I highly suggest even just skimming over the book and reading parts that you find relevant!
And you could probably find his books at the library, which is where I study :3
I also cannot study at all with any noise distractions, so I invested in a good pair of noise cancellation headsets. I don't study nearly as efficiently without them!
