Studying Options

[swishersweet]

So I'm a junior in highschool and I just cant seem to get straight A's or even B's. The first grading period is already over and I have 3 C's on my report card, but they were pre-ap classes.

I usually don't study unless if I have a test the next day. I'm trying to break this habit by studying/reading information and notes from my classes every night.

So do you study? For how long? And does it actually help you?

I got a really low GPA freshman year college and hated all the required classes I took. This year, I'm doing much better and I'm actually having fun learning.

I definitely learned to study and it helped me just relax a bit. I think most of the tips here are spot on.

No matter where you go, make the MOST of your resources. If your teachers provide outside help and you really don't get it, go ask questions or go to their office hours. Do read the chapters before hand or at the very least skim the summaries at the end of the chapters. See if your textbook has a companion website! I think that is the best resource because they have bonus material to help you understand the text.

For things like this, unless you're naturally gifted, you need to put in the work. I can give you tips on what worked for me but ultimately, you have to try things yourself. If you put in the effort, you'll see the results.
