Make sure you engage your brains with effective studying!  I have found a scientific study that should emphasize my point.

As you can see World of Warcraft can drastically reduce student performance.  (Note that WoW can be replaced by any other non-academic pursuit.)

Ways to study that are better than reading:

  1. Writing and condensing notes
  2. Creating explanations in your own words
  3. Creating sample questions that you think could be on the test
  4. Sharing those questions with others (This is studying with a partner, as opposed to reading and then playing GTA on breaks.)
