i need to know how i should make a timetable for studying to get all A and come first in class?

Answer 1

If you're like me, you shouldn't even bother with a timetable. I also want to become first in my class, but I know that I tend to stress out and sometimes do worse than I should because of set time restraints. Also, the daily homework load can be erratic; on some days I only spend about half an hour, while other days, I can get 3 hours, so it would take too much time and energy to try and shift your schedule. Maybe you should try waking up a litte earlier to get all your other duties over with; for example, I sometimes get up early to practice my piano and violin, so I have extra time after school to do all my homework.

Focus on motivating yourself, and then all the studying will come easier. Think about how good it would feel to become valedictorian and be recognized in front of all your peers, but don't stress out over it. When you get out from your last period, think about the amount of books you're taking home and estimate about how much time your homework will take up. It'll always good to finish AT LEAST half of it before dinner, but you can even start some of your homework during lunch or some free break during school to get it all over with soon; that's what I do sometimes, so that I can have some more fun at home. Remember, if you're ever in a position of waiting, whether you're in the school bus or in the classroom before the bell, that's an open opportunity for studying. Even if it's 3 minutes, think of how much time it would save you from studying at home in the long run! One or two times, I even managed to get my homework completely done before school ended!

However, if you want your spare school times to socialize, focus on getting a lot of your work done before dinner; you can then enjoy relaxing with a good book or movie before bed. You can get good grades AND avoid burnout. I'm going into my sophomore year now; even though I got straight A's my freshman year, it was not enjoyable for me because I spent so much time worrying and going over my assignments too much. As such, don't waste time while working; check over your work, especially in subjects that are not as easy to you, but don't go over superfluous details too much. And of course, don't procrastinate. In the midst of a big project, you could maybe spend some time over the weekends more, but try and fit in a page or two over the school week.

In my opinion, you dont even need a timetable. I mean its like taking away the already precious time and you have to waste more to make up a timetable. If are really that keen on getting that A then there is nothing more you should be doing except for just study and study. Not that timetable is not important at all but knowing the fact that, no offence, for people or in your case students that can still find time enjoying themselves and still want to get that A. But like I just said, its only an opinion.

How, do it in a spreadsheet. Microsoft Excel will be of a great assistance there, or Lotus. But, what do you enter as data?

How do you quantify your study time? If you enter high school while reading at a college level then it will take you less time to study or do the work for an English class (unless it is an advanced class). If you have trouble with a concept like algebra then it will take you longer to study for that class. You may not even be able to understand it in which case you will score low and possibly fail the class.

Then there is the school you are attending. For a smart guy/girl High School isn't that hard. Community College is tougher, but not too much. A major college like MIT would be real harder. I went to a major school and we even had to take a written test, and study for it, in a simple running class. Issac Asimov, a prolific and well-respected science fiction author, would read his high school book at the beginning of the year. He would waste the rest of the year and ace all his exams. When he got to college he found that he actually had to study!

How fast do you read and write? Do you speed read? You know that you can't read difficulty material as fast as you can read easier material. Then there is the way you study. Do you read the course material before the class, or after it when you understand it? Reviewing information that you have learned is done faster than trying to read and understand the information before class. But it is better to do the work before class, trust me on that. Do you review your notes, and how extensive are they? My notes in high school were often bear-boned, but in college I need a lot of notes, and few teachers would like you to record their class (plus those recordings don't work well unless it is a small class, you are at the front, and the teacher doesn't walk around much.) What is your attitude toward the class? If you are bored or really don't want to be there then you are going to absorb less information. If you are eager to take the class, if you attack it; ask questions, do more than just the minimum problems, hire a tutor if you need one, then that will change the time it takes to study. In the first method you will need to spend more time learning less, in the second time you will spend more time really learning the material. So until you quantify how much time it takes to study for each course to obtain a certain grade then you will have no idea how much time you need to study to make the grade you want.

The convention for college work is that you need to study a MINIMUM of 2 hours for each credit hour you take. But, it took a lot less time to study for my running exam, than it took to study for my calculus class.

I would recommend that you set aside 2 hours per credit hour taken to study. Once you figure out which classes are going to be easy, and which are going to be difficult. Then you can quantify how much time it will take to study for a class and create your spreadsheet.

Answer 5

In the video, "Where There Is A Will, There Is An A", they say you could raise your grade by one point for just BEING NEAT. (Sharp looking papers SCORE better.)

That doesn't mean that you could get an A for not doing the work. Make your homework straight-forward, easily understandable, and to the point. Do not OVER EMBELLISH, but be passionate in your writings.

It is better to focus on a FEW POINTS than to "Try to include EVERYTHING at once." Make you point and move on.

Remember, if it's not clear to YOU, it's not going to be clear on paper.
