School Hacks 3 of 3
Do you remember Miss. Amanda's display from September?
It was filled with hacks for your school work.
Missed out or can't remember the hacks?
Check out part two below.
The student is in italics, while the School Hacks are left alone.
Writing a Paper:
- HELP! My teacher just informed the class of a huge essay we have to write. Have any tips to help?
- Mix up your sentence length.
- Avoid filler words such as “just,” “very,” “really,” “even,” and “that.”
- If you can’t imagine dropping the mic after the final sentence, your conclusion needs to be stronger.
- Thanks so much! Now to get writing.
Research:
- What are your tips for researching on the web?
- Use Scholar.Google.com instead of Google.com. You will find more relevant information right away.
- Use Wikipedia to find sources, not answers. Wikipedia is editable by anybody, but the sources can be useful.
- Use the databases your public library provides for free.
- Interesting. Guess I really should stop trying to cite Wikipedia.
After Writing a Paper:
- Thanks for your tips for writing my paper, they were a huge help. Any tips for proofing it?
- After writing a paper, copy and paste it on to Google Translate, and listen to it to find mistakes
- Submit your paper to Tutor.com for proof reading. It is a FREE service offered by your public library
- These sound great. Thanks for the tips!

School Hacks 2 of 3

Studying:
- Big test next week. What are your best studying hacks?
- Writing something out is the equivalent to reading it 7 times
- Eating chocolate while studying will help the brain retain information easily
- Studying hard for 30-50 minutes at a time with 10 minute breaks in-between is the most effective way to study
- Awesome! Can’t wait to try these hacks.
- Any more tips to help with studying?
- You're 50% more likely to remember something if you speak it out loud instead of simply reading it over and over
- Pretend that you will have to teach the material. It helps you pay more attention.
- If you chew gum while when you study a subject and then chew the same flavor when you take the test it will help you remember.
- Thanks!
- Do you happen to have any more study tips?
- Study notes within one day of taking them. Retain rates are 60% higher.
- Study before you go to sleep but…
- Don’t Stay Up All Night Before an Exam.
- Hmm. I never thought to study my notes after taking them. I am often up late cramming the night before.

Note Taking:
- Hey School Hacks! School starts tomorrow. Any tricks for better note taking?
- You’re more likely to remember something that you wrote in blue ink than in black ink
- Taking notes on the computer? Use a weird font. Studies have shown that the uniqueness will make you more likely to remember them.
- Thanks for the tips! I’ll be putting them into action.
Homework:
- Ugh. I’m having a hard time with my homework and it’s so overwhelming. Any tips to help?
- Find a quiet place to work without distractions
- Take short breaks in between homework tasks
- Your library provides FREE access to Tutor.com to work with a live 1-on-1 tutor.
- Thanks for the help! Better find my quite place and get down to work.
Concentration:
- I’m having trouble concentrating on my work, any tips?
- Peppermint stimulates the brain and helps with concentration
- The Hans Zimmer station on Pandora is great for listening to while studying. The music has no distracting lyrics and the scores are intended to motivate.
- Thanks! Hope I have some peppermint.
