Hello Steemians! :)

I'd like to share my successful in life become a Bachelor of Science in Business Administratiin Major in Marketing Management @ Goldenstate College. Year 2014-2015

Studying in College is a lot different than in high school. I study by reading a lot more than I ever have and I listen in class to make sure I remember what's been talked about in the lectures. I also type out study guides for all of my classes, which I don't think I ever did in high school until it got to final exam time. It is strange, but I find that I am studying less now that I am in college , but I am studying the more important stuff. I have figured out which information is important in a text book and which information is just a waste of space in my memory.

My test study method: I make outlines, and write out the key terms. I look at my notes sometimes during the weeks before the test. I make sure that I have it all down the night before the test, and the next morning I get up for a 2 hour cram study session to get it fresh in my head for the test that day. It works for me most of the time, but I am not the best test taker in the world, I get too nervous! so I study as hard as I can and that's the best I can do as long as I've tried my best.

My time management secret: One of my biggest secrets is to look over the information that you just learned when class is over. After reviewing the information, it sticks a little bit better than waiting until the night before the test.

My overall study method: My study method is usually an early morning one. My mind is fresh and ready to learn in the morning and I usually don't have classes. I find that I do so much better if I up early and study a little bit of each class every day. It is so important for me to review everything as I go along. It is impossible to do well if I cram it all in last minute. I tried that strategy once, not good!

How I've overcome an initial bad grade: When receiving a bad grade, I just try to do better on the second exam and study harder. It's hard when you have your first test in a class and have no idea what to expect. The second one is usually easier since you know what to expect from your teachers.

My strategies for written assignments: Start early and make sure that you have it proofread. Also, with written assignments, having a timeline planned out can help like by setting a certain number of pages done by a certain day before the paper is due.

How I succeed in team projects: COMMUNICATION! Despite your group synergy, communication is crucial. I remember I ran out of cell phone minutes constantly when working on a group project for my marketing research class. It's really important that everyone is on the same page and getting the same emails. The worst is when two people are working on the same portion of the project and don't even realize it.

My great academic success: In my principles of marketing class, we had to come up with a new product and sell it. My group ended up with a couple supposedly bad students according to our teacher since they were the last ones picked. In the end, they helped out more than needed since I was team leader I assigned them certain pieces of the project that became solely their responsibility. Delegating work always helps since it allows a group member individual work without separating the group.

English, math, foreign language tips: Math basically just takes practice. I always tell students to take a blank piece of paper and write everything you know about what you've learned or what you're studying for in the class. If you don't remember everything or start drawing blanks, then you need to study more and review your notes. Note cards work really well for foreign languages.

Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: Go to class, make friends with people in class just in case you're absent, and remember that you should want to learn.
