3. “You and I should be fully
qualified and certified in
traditional education and its
processes for yet another very
good reason: bilinguality. The
men and women of Christ should
be truly educated and articulate
as to secular knowledge but
should also be educated and
articulate in the things of the
Spirit.”
5. Use a schedule that takes into account every class,
laboratory, lecture, social event, and other work in which
you engage.
Studying should be carried out only when you are rested,
alert, and have planned for it. Last minute studying just
before a class is usually a waste of time.
Choose a place to study that is not distracting. Libraries,
study lounges or private rooms are best.
SQ3R: Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review.
Take notes and use a highlighter.
Practice with others.
6. Begin studying no less than 30-90 minutes after a meal.
Never study within 30 minutes of going to sleep.
Prioritize! Make a list of what you intend to study,
prioritize the list, and stick to it!
If possible, study no more than 30-40 minutes at a
stretch. Many students retain more by studying for short
periods with breaks in between. It all depends on what
you're trying to study, but generally, after a period of
study, take a break.
Take study breaks away from your desk or wherever you
are studying. Let the break be a time to think about other
things. Use some break time to reflect, not constantly
review what you have just studied.
8. Be alert. Exercise, shower, and pray before you study.
Study at a desk or table where you can write and remain
alert.
Ask yourself, “What is the author saying? What is the
central message? How does this apply to me?”
Set goals to live what you are learning?
Visualize what you are studying.
Use a study journal to take notes, ask questions, and set
goals.
Memorize scriptures.
9. Share what you learn with others.
Review chapter headings to give you an idea of what to
look for in the chapter.
Try writing a summary of the passage in one sentence.
Plan your study activities before beginning to study.
Prepare a talk or lesson on a topic.
Frequently review your notes and goals.
Use the Bible Dictionary, church history maps, Index,
etc. to gain a better understanding of history, culture,
background.
Look for key words.
10. Look for connecting words (therefore, thus, wherefore,
etc.) and see how the passages relate to each other.
Avoid excessive marking. The benefit is lost if you can’t
understand your markings because you have made too
many notes, lines, or colors.
Use footnotes and the Topical Guide to see how the
same word is used in other contexts.
Use a variety of study methods.
Always have a purpose at the beginning of your study
session.

12. “The Lord and His Church have
always encouraged education to
increase our ability to serve Him
and our Heavenly Father’s children.
For each of us, whatever our
talents, He has service for us to
give. And to do it well always
involves learning, not once or for a
limited time, but continually.”
-President Henry B. Eyring
