I was just wondering of there are ways of studying that help to make it possible to concentrate, and also to remember the stuff you are trying to learn

Answer 1

If you are wondering about how to get most of your Grade Point Averages up, then this is a suggestion.See if any of your Teachers that teach the subjects can or have the time to give additional tutoring to you on those subjects you may be having trouble understanding.Also it helps to do research in a non-distracting enviorment,where you can keep your mind and abilities on your studies.There are also certain programs that may be offered where you may be able to get extra tutoring(kind of like a tutor or professor for hire program).If still in doubt,have a discussion between your parents and the school staff and board members to see what other options are open for your mind and grades to become sharper on thinking.In short,clear your mind of disstractions,study with interest,apply yourself on what you've learned,and stay involved with your parents and school on learning what you are studying in these subjects.Then somewhere in time you will acheive your goals,and inspire others around you to try to do the same,to better their lives in learning as well.After all,knowledge is a powerful asset to have on your side.Remember that,if nothing else.

Well, spell-check for one. (Sorry, but it is a sign of intelligence.)
Try playing soft music while you study (NO TV!). Not just any music- music without words (like classical) will help keep you from getting distracted.
Take notes on everything! Just writing down important information will help you remember it more than just reading.
Take a practice test- you can take PSAT's and Pre-ACT's in most areas, and if you can't then look online.
Summer School! If you can get it into your schedule, it's always a good idea to take a class or two on what you think is your least comfortable subject(s).
Finally- after school activities are something that show a school who you are too! There are actually some scholarships that require things like volunteering and community service. Find something you enjoy, and see if you can help others in the process. It teaches you things you can't learn in class, and looks really impressive on your applications. (Suggestions: Volunteering to help the activity department at a nursing home, helping with a Girl Scout troop, church activities, food drives, etc.)

Answer 3

First you need to learn to spell "scholarships". Next, grades must be close to a 4.0. There are scholarships for ethnic groups, are you in one that's not Caucasian? You must get involved in extracurricular activities besides sports-- you need to be well rounded. Student government, honor society, etc. Super important-- community service. Start volunteering and find a cause that you want to support, like savedarfur.org or AIDS research, etc. Then get others involved and raise some money. Finally, start studying for the SAT because if you don't do well, no one will even accept you, much less give you money. To get your grades up, get all the help you can get from your teachers. Take advantage of whatever they offer. Teachers will look at you in a new light if you work super hard and let them know you want to be an A student and ask for help. Believe me.

Answer 4

you can ask your teachers if there are any extra assignments that you can do to raise the grade. Also, if you were really into getting the good grades you should go over everything you did that day when you get home at night: read, re-copy, re-do sheets, whatever you can think of. Maybe at the end of the week you can go over everything you did that week aswell. Doing thiss will give you a better understanding during class discussion and especially during exam study/taking time. It's wicked that you're in grade 11 and are thinking about scholarships.

Answer 5

I have to agree with james k----the most important thing really is to work harder---and make sure to make your studies your main priority. It is so easy to fall off and worry about a social life, but always remember, a social life doesn't pay your bills or care for a family in the future. Just as important---RELAX... remember that there will always be a way to go to college if you don't get all the scholarships you need.

Answer 6

Aside from the fact that people have been saying work really hard. Here is another way get better. Never ever be content with what you can do. Always strive to improve. Learn new things. Challenge yourself. HS is all about challenging yourself. In university, you will need to become really adaptive to change so prepare while you still can.

Answer 7

Study to music. When you take a test study the night before to your favorite song and sing it in your head during the test. It really helps, I'm not kidding.
