2. Do your homework
◦ If you're stuck then do not lose your cool, just
focus on your work and you'll succeed.
◦ The first that you have to do is concentrate, do
not think in nothing else, only in your work. Do
not use your phone, because it could lose your
focus.
◦ If you have a homework assignment, DO IT!
◦ If you have a project DO IT!
3. Study definitions and complete some
exercises.
◦ Take some time to write some problems up, or you could ask someone to write them for
you.
◦ Start to read a little more.
◦ Study in not learning the information from the beginning, that’s not what it is, study is
read in forced what you should to learn, not looking of the papper for 10 minutes and
say “All right I know this information”. NO! You should know it from your test and from
the future too.
4. Take notes
◦ Review your notes when you have free time. Get
organized.
◦ Use of mind maps can be helpful for understanding
hard topics.
◦ If you do not understand something very well, go for
extra help!, because this way the teacher can see
what you really want to explain you. Or study in small
groups, it really works.
5. Pay attention during class
◦ We know that is not easy, but you
have tou concetrate, do not look to
the walls it is only goint to lose your
focus more tan after you were.
6. Ask to seek clarification.
◦ Ask a parent or older sibling to look over your notes and
create a mini-test for you 3 days advance of your test.
◦ If you don’t understand something, ask questions.
◦ You have to tell to the teacher what your problem is,
because the teacher is not a main reader you have to ask
him.
11. ◦ Attend all classes. Some students find it difficult to simply get up
and go to class.
◦ Try to ignore internal distractions. Try to forget all personal
problems during study.
◦ Set up a time for relaxation. Have a brief rest after school´s class.
The best time for this is after you arrive home or before dinner.
You can’t been a good student if you don’t rests
Be prepared for class.
Reading assignments
before the class. By
reading the assignments
before class, you feel
yourself in a better
position to ask questions.
More importantly, you are
better to answer
questions that the
teacher ask.
Take notes in class. Even
when exams are not
based on class notes, the
notes will give an
indication of what topics
you need studying. During
class, it is best to listen
attentively and take notes,
the more material will be
available to add to the
notes.
Review what you have
learned. Reserve a few
moments before each
class or exams to
review mentally what
you have studied.
