my 5 Secrets To Getting Better Grades in your class/department :
1. Join Study Groups
Make sure your study group meets regularly and is made up of people who really study and really want to do their very best academically. Organize times that your study group will meet and create a list of exactly what will be covered during each study session. Be serious about this and your grades will soar.
2. Don't Get Distracted
Your focus should be on improving your grades. My kids know that their grades come first. "Getting their grades" comes before hanging out with buddies, before partying, and before school sports & activities. You must develop a do-it-now mentality when it comes to your studies. This means that you don't wait until the last moment to begin work on homework or a major project. Focus. Focus. And focus some more. Do it now!
3. Have A Longterm Goal
I don't know what you want out of life. However, I would like to offer some suggestions. First - why not make it a goal to get your grades so high that you qualify for the very highest rated college that you can? An additional benefit is that getting great grades means you will get great scholarship offers from top universities. You may wish to become a doctor, a scientist, a top corporate executive, a college professor, an astronaut, an entrepreneur, get a full-ride scholarship to college, or get accepted at one of the top universities in the country. It is so important to have a major goal. Sure, you may change your goal in the future. But, just having a major goal that you focus on will help you achieve better grades and so much more.
4. Be Loyal To Your Dreams
Too many young people are more loyal to their peers than they are to their goals and dreams. Here's a little tip from a person (me) who once was a teenager: Your peers may go astray, but a worthy goal will never do you wrong. If you want the best out of life, want to get good grades, want to improve your skills in some sport, want to start a business, or other goal --- but your peers want to hang out at the mall, smoke, drink, watch TV endlessly, or otherwise just waste their lives --- then you have a choice to make. Your peers or your dreams. I pray that you always choose your dreams. If your friends can't get with what you want out of life, I suggest you move on beyond your peers. The old saying applies: "It's impossible to soar like an eagle if you hang with turkeys." Get away from the turkeys and you will soar.
5. Ask Your Teacher For Help
There is never a long line of students asking teachers for tutoring. That's good news for you. Here's the key: Ask your teachers for assistance BEFORE you are in grade trouble. And keep asking them. Their real job is to help you learn and reach your highest potential.
Remember ----- You = What You Do Consistently
Good luck!
