- Create a realistic schedule: In my life as a student, I have created quite a number of schedules and it's been only but a few I have been able to stick to. Make a study schedule that blends into your everyday life, schedules that are really realistic to maintain. Say, you are not one that likes to compromise sleep, schedule study for times during the day not night.
- Don't wait for exams to come knocking: This is practically how I was raised,start reading from the first day lectures start. Doing this, you'd only need revision during exams and tests and not necessarily need to pull an all-nighter or stress yourself out when exams come by. Try revising what you can at the end of each day.
- Balance the social and academic life: Yes, we are teenagers and fun is quite important a vocabulary in our dictionary but don't let the fun outweigh your academic life - that is, if you desire better grades. Spend less time on distractions.
- Participate actively during lessons: It's not everything that is said during a lesson that would end up appearing the the note so, keep a functional jotter where you can put down info that you believe would be helpful - I remember quite a number of my teachers that encouraged us to keep jotters. Also, don't be afraid to ask questions when clarity is needed, it won't kill.
- Make good use of IT: Virtually every teenager had access to devices and the internet, use these for academic research and information gathering purposes. You might even end up with more information than was given to you in school.
- Focus more on subjects of weakness: for example, you had a C in math in the previous term and a B in chemistry in the same term, it would be wise to pay more attention to math than chemistry but still not neglecting chemistry.
These are the few but I believe helpful tips I have for you to help you get better grades this new term.
P. S: This from a student to a student, hope you find this article helpful. 👍
