SCHOLARS, study everyday to develop good and consistant study habits. Studying over time is similar to practicing your craft everyday in the gym. If you study everyday you will develop great fundamental study habits. Thus, when it is time for the test or the game you will be fully prepared. Some say "practice makes perfect." I disagree. Practice allows you to correct mistakes under pressure with minimal problems. Practice hard scholars!
