More Important tips for Students Worldwide



  • If there is a test or exam coming up, do not procrastinate. Be prepared!
  • Concentrate in class.
  • Sleep! Sleeping well is essential to keep you concentrated on classes and also on your studies.
  • Stay focused. Everyone knows school can be boring, but you have got to concentrate on getting focused. Keep your eyes on the teacher, keep your ears open, and take notes. Taking notes will help you think and help you understand what is being taught more.
  • Always be ready to answer questions and raise your hand more often.
  • Always attempt extra credit problems and assignments. Even if you are getting a 98% in a class, you can improve your grade and understand the material better.
  • Always eat a good breakfast before a test. In fact, you should eat healthily all the time, because it will help your mind.
  • If friends are distracting you don't be mean; just tell them you are working and say "another time".
  • Different people concentrate better at different times of the day. Try to find the time you concentrate better, even if it means having occasional breaks to refresh your memory.
  • Never answer back to the teacher.
  • Always keep your eyes and ears open.
  • Never let your parents put too much pressure on you. Tell them nicely to back off and let you breathe; that you can't handle too much stress. After you tell them give them a nice hug.
  • You can make a mind map to help with revising before any exam or test.
  • Live a balanced life. Your academic work is of high importance, but there must also be room for your social life and other priorities. If you become a workaholic, you will not be a successful student.
  • Rewriting notes taken in class is helpful if taking exceptionally hard classes. (Ex. law, economics, engineering etc.)
  • Find out your learning style (ex. visual, auditory, kinesthetic, etc.) and look online to find out about study habits that match your learning style. You'll be surprised at how much easier it is! But be sure to answer the quiz questions truthfully.
  • If you can play an instrument, sing, or have any musical skills, try to play a little everyday. Not only will it improve your skill and ability, but it will allow you to focus on homework, schoolwork, essays, etc.
  • Always try to teach your classmates if they don't understand the chapter or subject. It will help you to remember better.
  • Also remember that psychological studies have shown that people tend to forget much of the information learned in the last ten minutes before falling asleep. Do something else before you go right to bed after studying.
  • A binder can really help you become organized. The best way to organize is to have a binder for each class you are taking.
  • Late night study is a waste of time.
  • Always listen your teacher.
  • Study is one of the key factors at any level of education. Spending 2 hours a day studying has shown an increased in student's grades. These two hours however, have to be constructive study. Remove all distractions; this will include mobile phones, television, loud/fast-paced music and talkative friends and family members as to ensure a calm collective environment.
  • Find out which chapter your teacher is covering tomorrow and read it before going to class. That way you become familiar with what he/she will be teaching and will be able to target areas that you do not understand so well. Highlight the explanations of difficult concepts and ask questions when you have doubts.
  • Ask questions because if you need help your teacher can help you.
  •  
·         When you take notes make sure you underline keywords that might appear on your test.
·         Pay attention to what the instructor is saying and don't get distracted by something or someone else.
·         Make sure to have a separate notebook or page for your subjects, and remember to label.
·         Don't write every single word you hear.
·         Write the most important stuff you need to know.
·         Write it down with different wording, it helps get the actual idea into your mind.
·         If the speaker repeats something more than twice, then it's probably important and worth paying attention to.
·         Stick to short phrases and bullet points: remember these are just notes, not an essay.
·         If you are reading a book for an English literature class, make sure you have a pack of Post-It notes at hand, since you may not be allowed to write in the actual book. When making these notes, make sure that you say on each Post-it how the audience feels when the author uses a certain type of language. The author always uses imagery, especially in Shakespeare's plays. Take note and include a personal response.
·         If the school allows it, different brightly-colored highlighters can be used. That way, when you see the colors, you will want to take a look at it. However, do NOT highlight each and everything! You don't want to enter in some coloring competition.
