School can be a challenge
to many students. Here are some tips to improve your marks and do good in
school.
Create
a positive attitude - Ok, you may ask how does creating a good attitude
supposed to boost up my mark? Well, if you create a good attitude in studying
and think positive things about studying, its likely that you will start liking
a subject that you were really not fond of before. You may also get marks for
good attitude and for not disrupting a class.
Attend
a class regularly - How does attending a class going to bring me a good mark? If you attend classes daily instead of skipping
them, you will be there to listen to all the lessons the teachers are teaching
and won't miss important days. It's likely that you will remember or learn more
if you are in class when the teacher is teaching than if you skipped class and
then take notes later on.
Set
goals for yourself - Set goals like 'get good marks in math, science etc' for
yourself and then try your hardest to achieve those goals. If you fail once, don't give up, keep trying.
Do
homework daily - When you get homework, do it don't leave it. If you want to watch your favourite t.v show
instead of doing homework, think about this: Is your favourite t.v show going
to help you get to a good university and possibly help you achieve the job of
your dreams? If the answer is yes, then by all means watch the show. Homework
is important because it gives you practice on the subject that you are
learning. ALWAYS do your homework.
Ask
for help when you need it - If you have a question on something, ask for help,
don't just leave it behind. You can ask anybody who has knowledge on the
subject that you need help with like your parents, teacher, brother or sister.
It will most definitely help you in tests and quizzes.
Manage
your time effectively - It will help you reduce anxiety and focus on studying. If you have a test next week, start studying
now. Try not to study at the last minute and cram the night before. Try studying
1 or 2 hours daily and leave a half hour for homework. If you study before you
do homework, it will help you do your homework faster and help you understand
the subject better.
Always
Review - After school, review what you learned that day.
Develop
test smarts - It will really help and increase your confidence in writing exams
if you're familiar with the typical exam format, common errors to avoid, and
know how the concepts in a subject area usually tested.
Know
your personal learning style - It will help you maximize your learning by using
effective study techniques, developing meaningful notes, and make the most
efficient use of your study time.
