9. … don’t cram for exams. Successful
students that divided periods of study are more effective than cram sessions,
and they practice it.
I there is one study skills specialist agree
on, it is that distributed study is better than massed, late-night, last- pitch
efforts know it as cramming. You’ll learn more, and you will do better by
studying in four.
When you cram, you are taking the short cut,
and short cuts never produce any real life results. Also, When you take short
cuts, you feel rotten that you could have done better but didn’t. Short cuts
cut you short. You can’t plant watermelon seeds and make watermelon grow the
next day. It takes time. Cramming for a test or a project and expecting to make
a high score the next day is like planting a watermelon seed and expect to eat
is the next day. Plus cramming for a test or a project doesn’t help you
academically, so why even do it. Plan ahead prepare ahead. Give yourself plenty
of days and weeks to prepare for upcoming accountability opportunities.

7. Understand that actions affect
learning. Successful students know their personal behavior affect their
feelings and emotions which in turn can affect learning.
If you act in a certain way that
normally produces particular feelings. Act like your bored, and you’ll become
bored. Act like your disinterested, and you’ll become disinterested. So the
next time you have trouble concentrating in the classroom, “act” like an interested
person: lean forward place your feet on the floor and maintain eye contact with
the professor, nod occasionally.
8. … talk about what they are learning. Successful students get to know
well enough that they can put it into word. Talking about something, with
friends or classmates, it is checking if your answer is write or wrong, its a
proven learning tool. Turning problems into words it a proven learning tool.
Talk about note, problems, reading, etc. “Talk-learning” produces a whole host
of memory traces that result in more learning.

5. Don’t sit in the back of the room. Success
students minimize classroom distractions that interfere with learning.
Students want the best seat available for
their entertainment. The students that sit in the back are not the teachers
teammate. Why do they expose themselves to the temptations of inactive class experiences
and distractions with all the people around them and their instructor? Of
course, we know why they choose the back of the classroom because they seek
nobody. Push your hot button to something else.
6. … take good notes successful students take
notes that are understandable and organized, and review them often.
Why put something in your notes that you don’t
understand? Ask the question know that
is necessary to make your notes meaningful. Make your notes fresh while your
time is still good. The more you learn then the more you less learn later. The
whole purpose of taking notes is to use them, and use them often. The more you
use them the more you improve.

questions to provide the quickest route between ignorance and knowledge. In
addition to securing knowledge you seek, asking questions has two extremely important
benefits. The process helps you pay attention to your professor pay attention

only foolish silence. It’s your choice.
4. … learn
that a student and a professor make a team. Most instructors want exactly what
you want: they would what you to learn the material in their respected classes
and earn a good grade.
Successful students reflect well on the efforts
of any teacher; if you have learned your material, the instructor take some justifiable
pride in teaching. Your jobs is to work together for mutual success. Neither

Successful students exhibit a combination of
success attitudes and behaviors as well as intellectual capacity. Successful
students get involved in their studies accepted responsibility for their own
education, and are active participation in it! Responsibility means control. It’s
different between leading than being led. Active participation improves your
skills. You can sit there act bored, day dream, or sleep. Or, you can actively listen,
think, and ask questions. Either options cost on experience. However the formal
method will require a large degree of additional work outside of class to reach
that degree of learning that latter provides at one sitting. The choice is
yours.

It is hard to succeed in a foreign language class if you are just showing and

My strategies for written assignments:
Everyone has their own writing styles. I generally come up with an idea and do
massive amounts of research before I ever think about writing. I then organize
my research and sometimes organize an outline before actually writing. I
sometimes print out the paper and comeback to it the next day and reread it.
That is the easiest way to check it. I have to give my eyes a break on it, and
if I just wrote it I think it looks perfect. But if I look at it a day later I
always find errors.
How I succeed in team projects: Never assume
someone is doing what they are suppose to be doing. Have regular meetings and
have each member show their work, not just give you or give the word for it.

How I study for multiple exams, deal
with multiple projects: Really it is my time management that I explained above.
If I see I have multiple things due or to study for all at the same time I
spread out my time beforehand. For example, if I have a test Monday, and 2 test
Tuesday then I will study for my Monday test Thursday and part of Friday. Start
studying for my next test on the second half of Friday and part of Saturday,
then my second Tuesday test on Saturday as well and part of Sunday. Then Sunday
night I can review for my Monday test because I already studied for it.
When that test is over I can begin reviewing for the other tests. My overall
study method: I try to break it up over several days or at least two. I get
bogged down if I try to pull an all-nigher. How I've overcome and
initial bad grade: if I didn't prepare properly or
I didn't use the right study habit for that class. I usually try to
go over what I did wrong sometimes discuss with the teacher what I can do
differently on the next exam or what they suggest I do for studying for the
next exam.

My test study method: I have different strategies
for different types of test or subjects. For me, any type of mat exceptionally difficult
so I could spend extra time on that. I would go back on the math problems that
I had problems on working on. Many times I would ask the teacher for any
additional study materials they could provide. If it was a class that required memorization
or applying concepts I will create a sort of study guide for myself many times
on focusing on what key focal points in the class. If I knew they were going to
easy I would try to take the terms I will try to turn them into examples or
create different concepts on the question on the concepts focus on throughout
the semester.
My time management secret: I always always
always carry a planner with me. I even use different color highlights to show
what different events on the calendar show. For example, pink is personal,
yellow is school, orange is work, blue is for appointments, and green is for my
sorority. Although I use White-Out.

Here are my final words of wisdom for
students who want to get better grades in college: A big thing that not may
will say is to ask for help if need it. It’s not a bad thing to not understand,
it’s a bad thing if you don’t do anything about it. Plan your time out so you
are completing everything that needs to get done and leave time to double
check. Write things down and have good time management skills. Asking for help
is probably the good thing to do. If you don’t understand, go to office hours
to see when you can find help or somebody that does understand and is willing
to help you. If you try hard, it will come to you. I will find my self to try
harder and fail than I fail and succeed. It is something that in with me to
succeed. If that is not who you are, than hopefully things that I show you will

English, math, foreign language tips: For math, all I can say
is do the problems assigned. It is the only way to practice and that’s really
all it is for math. It’s the same for chemistry; if you do the practice
problems you will understand the material so much better because those subjects
are not just memorization like history, you need to be able to apply what you
have learned in practical situations. As for English, I am no longer taking it,
but I would say to leave yourself plenty of time to write essays and papers.
They take time to take all the information out of your head and onto the page,

the slack, but I will if I know that my grade will be harmed otherwise. Write a
10-12 page research paper. It was the longest paper I had ever been assigned
and I was a little scared. Also, it was the first I had to argue in favor of or
against something, but it could be anything from the sky is blue to hypnotism.
I wrote mine on hypnotism. I worked on this paper for weeks and weeks. Every
night I would be doing research or writing, I put so much effort into this
paper. It ended up just fewer than 12 pages but it was full on information. I turned

My strategies for written assignments: I try
to outline before I write because other wise I forget what I am suppose to be
talking about. I try not to leave then till the last minute because then I will
just goof up the work. A lot of times I just write about of what I feel.
Teachers like your opinion and if you can find something from the reading or
the research that relates specifically to your life, they like it even more
because it makes you take ownership of your work. I write things that I want
others to read; not things that I have to write because the teacher said so.
How I succeed in team projects; Personally, I
do not like working in group projects, especially ones that I work on in High
School. However, whenever it is required to work in a group, usually I try to
lead. I like taking the lead because now I know that my grade will be a good
one. I do well in school, I always have and Io don’t think I am going to change
that any time soon, so when I need to work with people that don’t care as much
as I do, or they have more time to waste more other than the project, I try to
be in charge. That way I know thing are going to be done on time and that I am
going to get a good grade. If I am working in a group of people that all want
to work, then it is a different story.

study method: I break up studying over several days and over the course of the

How I’ve
overcome an initial bad grade: I usually look over the test or paper to see
what I did that the teacher did not want. Basically, I do not stress out about
grades that much because of me they are not worth getting really upset about
them. I do well because I know that I know the material. However, if I do get a
bad grade, or one lower that I expected, I make sure that the next time a test
is coming I study even more so that I won’t be surprised by the questions.

How I deal with multiple projects/test: When
I have more than one test or project, I break up my studying. I will study for
one test for 30 minutes or so and then switch to the other one. If there is
part of a project that I know will not take me very long, I will do it when I
know I don’t have much time. If I am really in a crunch of time on a specific
day, I will study for one test in the morning and the other one in the
afternoon or at night. By breaking up the study into different sections, I feel
like I get much more done. Cram sessions do not work for me. I need to study

My
time Management secret: My secret is to use time wisely. I know that on certain
days I do not have time to run errands or hang out with my friends even. Each
minute of each day is used for something. One thing that works really well for
me is to write everything down. I mean everything. I write down if I am going
to email people, write letters, or study. It works for me to have a planer that
goes by the day and shows me to what I am going to be doing every day. Knowing
what I have to do every day helps me plan out my week and my days. If I know
that I don’t have time on Tuesday, I will try to get more things done on Monday
or Sunday. Iplan ahead, especially if I am going to be on the road for
volleyball. When I am on the road, I bring my books and read on the bus, plane,
or hotel room. Missing class is killer to make up from, but if you are upfront
with your professors, they are usually nice about having to turn in things late
or not being in class.
