University of Maryland Counseling Center

Academic Counseling

Work with an academic skills counselor to learn how to improve the results of your study efforts. Learn techniques to manage time and the demands of your classes, ways to get more from your reading, techniques for effective review, and developing an effective study plan.

Some common questions that students ask include:

  • How can I read more efficiently and remember more?

  • How can I focus better when I am studying?

  • What are some alternatives to my current note-taking methods?

  • What materials should I focus on in my classes?

  • How do I prepare for exams?

  • How can I reduce my anxiety about exams?

If these are concerns you have or if you have other questions specific to your needs, we can help. Just set up an appointment online at https://lasonline.umd.edu.
