After class

As soon as class ends, review your notes and fill in any blanks. Underline, highlight and use symbols to sort through the information. If you don’t understand something, get help from your teacher or classmates.

After you've reviewed all your notes from class, in the left-hand area of the page write down any key words and questions your teacher might ask on a test.

At the bottom of each page, write a summary of the notes. This helps you digest what you've learned. It also improves your memory of the material for the long term and for tests down the road.

You Can Succeed Every Day

Part 1

My overall study method: I break up studying for several days and over the course of the evening and day. Cramming never works for me so I try not to do it. I will have longer sessions on the night before big tests, but I never stay up much later than normal before tests. I know that if take the test tired the next day I will not do as well if I was rested.

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 for me they are not worth getting really upset about. I do well because I know that I know the material. However, if I do get a bad grade, or one lower than 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.
