A student must also learn to be organised. For example, a top student who is actively involved in his school band, track and field, rugby association and debate team disclosed that he keeps his things in their proper places because he simply cannot afford time-wasting searches. Another student immediately files the day's notes in colour-coded folders so that they are available for review nearing examination time. Another technique advocated by top students is to read effectively. This includes speed-reading, improving one's memory or retention ability, and actively asking questions that will lead to a full understanding of the author's message.
學生還必須學會有條理。舉個例子，有一位優等生在學校樂隊、田徑隊、橄欖球協會和辯論小組里都很活躍。他透露，他之所以把東西放得井井有條是因為他浪費不起到處找東西的時間。還有一位學生喜歡把當天的筆記馬上整理出來并放進用不同顏色標記的文件夾里，以便臨近考試時能隨時用來復習。優等生們提倡的另一個技巧是有效的閱讀，其中包括快速閱讀，提高記憶能力以及主動提出問題以便充分理解作者的意思。
對于學生們來說，合理安排時間也同樣重要。他們必須懂得如何根據每天的時間表和學習能力來安排做作業和項目的速度，不至于讓手頭的工作壓得喘不過氣。能制定時間表不僅讓學生能夠騰出更多時間來復習和完善功課，而且還能防止他們拖拖拉拉。成績優異的學生認為，他們成功的一大秘訣就是上課時做好筆記，供復習時使用。有個學生透露，她把從課文上摘抄的內容記在筆記本的一邊，把課堂筆記寫在另一邊。這樣，就可同時復習到兩方面的內容。她還透露，她不會浪費下課鈴響前的幾分鐘跟朋友交頭接耳，準備隨時沖出教室。相反，她會利用這幾分鐘用兩三句話概括那節課的要點，然后在下次上課前瀏覽這些筆記，加深印象。
