How to be successful at school
If you wish to do better on tests, improve your grades, and get more involved in academics, there are several things you can do. The most important thing to remember is that you can be a successful student, as long as you have the desire.
Step 1: First of all, you need to dedicate time each day to devote to school. This means time away from all distractions. No television, no conversations, no texting… just you and your schoolwork. Your grade level will depend on how much time you spend each day on your studies. However it should be long enough for you to get through all of your homework and prepare for tests without having to rush.
Step 2: Of course it doesn’t matter how long you spend with your books if you don’t have good study habits. Keep a study area that is free of distractions. Scan over textbooks and assignments before beginning to read or complete. When you’re finished, always go back and review your work.
Step 3: If you really want to excel, it helps to have friends and activities that support your schoolwork. One of the best ways to get these things is by joining clubs and groups that are devoted to academics.
Research what is available at your school, and join one or two clubs, for even joining a study club or group will help you focus on your school-work.
