Mybe you are an average student with an average intellect. You pass most of your subjects . You occasionally get good grades,but they are usually just average. You are more interested in hiking than in history and in sports than in scholarship. The fact is that you don´t study very much.
You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better scholar if he or she wants to. It is true that it may not be enthusiastic about everything you study, bolut by using your time properly you may improve your grade without additional work. Here's how.
1. Plan your time carefully.
When you plan a trip, one of the first things you must do is to make a list of things to take. If you don´t,you are almost certain to leave something important at home. When you plan your week,you should make a list of things that you have to do. Otherwise, you may forget to leave enough time to complete an important task. After making the list,you should make a schedule of your time. First fill in committed time eating,sleeping,dressing,school,meetings,and so forth. Then decide on a good,regular time for studying. Be sure to set aside enough time to complete the work that you are normally assigned each week. Of course,studying shouldn´t occupy all of your free time. Don't forget to aside enough time for entertainment,hobbies, and may be just relaxation.A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems,but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.
2. Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this place,which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games,radios,or televisions! If you can't find a such a place at home, find a library where you can study. When you sit down to work, concentrate on the subject! And don't go to the place you have chosen unless you are ready to study.
3. Make good use of your time in class. Take advantages of class times to listen to every thing the teacher says. Sit where you can see and hear well. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says. When the teacher gets off the subject, stop taking notes
4. Study regularly. When you get home from class, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher mentioned in class. Read any related materials in your textbook. If you know what yout teacher is going to discuss the next day, scan and read that material, too. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
5. Scan before you read. This means looking a passage over quickly but thoroughly before you begin to read it more carefully. Scaning a passage lets you preview the material and get a general idea of the content. This will actually allow you to skip less important material when you begin to read. Scanning will help you double your reading speed and improve your comprehension.
6. Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so don't get overly worried. Tests do more than just provide grades: they let you know what you need to study more, and they help make your knowledge permanent.
There are other techniques that might help you with your studying. Only a handful have been mentioned here. You will probably discover mang others after you have tried these.
