how to take 5 or more college courses successfully?

Answer 1

Ahhh! Thats alot.

But if you do I suggest you maximize your time as much as possible. If you got a couple hours to kill, read or do an assignment

Keep stress in your life down.

Study hard and take good notes in class.

Dont skip any classes

Keep up on the readings and make sure you understand the material

Ask questions if you dont get the material and go to tutoring if you need help. Dont fall behind

before a test, go over the material again and again and engrave it in your mind so its fresh

You may have to work less hours too. I actually worked 15-20 hours and that was a mistake. I should have worked 10-12 hours.

If you do thse things I think you will have an awesome semester. I took 9 classes in a term (23 credits) and that was rough. I followed these steps and passed every course.

Answer 2

Study hard, and make sure you set aside time to study. It might be rough if you work to, but realize that school has to come before your social life for the next 4 months.

It also depends on the classes you are taking. If you are taking senior level difficult classes, then you need alot more help, and a few good tutors. If they are basic freshman classes, you should be okay.

Answer 3

2 reasons why students fail in college:

1. Dont plan time accordingly
-Rip out a sheet of paper and plan your day. Stick in time to do homework/study/eat lunch/chill with friends. You can always fix it if an unexpected social encounter demands your attention (which it will). When you stick in your hours, consider it a rough estimate. It isn't set in stone

2. Don't study well
-Do it in advance
-Do it in a quiet area (shhhh!)
-Maximum one hour at a time
-DONT read your notes until you "get it"!
-Make your own homemade quizzes and quiz yourself
-Use flashcards for short definitions
-When writing an essay, ALWAYS start with an outline!

Answer 4

I took 20 credits one term at a community college and did just fine working like 10-15 hours per week.

I would NEVER recommend that if you were going to a university though...no friggin way!

Answer 5

Just don't panic. It really isn't that hard. I have taken at least 5 every semester since I started. Just be sure that you don't forget about one or let one slide while you study for the others.
