HOW
TO GET GOOD GRADES IN TEN EASY STEPS:
1. BELIEVE
IN YOURSELF
“To succeed, we must first believe that we can.” Michael Korda
2. BE
ORGANIZED
If you’re organized, you have
what you need, when you need it.
3. MANAGE
YOUR TIME WELL
With good time management, you have time to do the
things you have to do,
and you still have time for the things you want to do.
4. BE SUCCESSFUL
IN THE CLASSROOM
You’ll enjoy school
more and you’ll get better grades.
5. TAKE
GOOD NOTES
Tests usually cover material that has been presented and discussed in
class.
It is therefore important to have good classroom notes from which to
study.
6. KNOW HOW
TO READ A TEXTBOOK
When you know how to read a textbook, you comprehend
and remember
what
you read.
7. STUDY
SMART
Students who “study smart” find that they spend less time studying, and yet
they get better grades.
8. USE
TEST-TAKING STRATEGIES
In order to do well on any test, you must study hard and be prepared.
Having done that, you can further improve your test performance by using
test-taking strategies.
9. REDUCE
TEST ANXIETY
A little anxiety before a test improves your
concentration and alertness.
Excessive
worry, or test anxiety, will lower your test scores.
10.GET
HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT
When you have a problem, do something about it.
For help with these steps or any other techniques to
enable you to become a better student, see your school counselor.
“If
we all did the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astonish
ourselves.”
Thomas Edison
