Answer 1

Hi there,
The key to getting good grades is not just working hard; you also have to know how to study and what to study. Everyone has their own way of studying, what works for one person may not work for another. For example I have to study the last couple days before the exam otherwise I won't get the results that I want. Now if you tell anyone this, they will tell you that I'm wrong, but I'm not! I listen and concentrate on what my instructors say in the class but I don't really study during the semester unless it is the night before the exam and IT WORKS FOR ME. One of my classmates however, studies every single night and that works for her. You have to find your own style. u have to study alot, try to really pay attention in class, rightnow im in my freshman year and yeah its pretty tough! so try to study more and go to the tutoring lessons. The other thing is that you have to know what to study. Listen carefully to your teachers during the class. They usually put greater emphasis on the stuff that are going to be on the test. Make sure you take a note of them and know them very well for the test. Setting a high goal is good but if u cant hit it but a grade lower is oso v good. Cos' at least u have tried, dont overworked urself, do u know some people cant even dare to set a goal? This tell, u are already the winner.

=D Good luck!

I hope this helps
