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.
◦ 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.
◦ Use of mind maps can be helpful for understanding
hard topics.

5. Pay attention during class
◦ We know that is not easy,
but you have to
concetrate, do not look
to the walls it is only goint
to lose your focus more
than 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 maindreader you have to ask
him.

7. PROBLEMS

8. ◦ Problems:
◦ Sometimes you can’t wake up and that brings some
consequences like as late to your class and the teacher
didn’t let you enter. Another problem is that sometimes you
didn’t understand a topic of the class and you stay with the
doubt on that deal. A other problem is do not know what will
come in the exam topics.
◦ Sometimes in the exams give some topics that you say "oh
no teacher you dont give us this topic" and the teacher say
no but i talk about it in one class.

9. SOLUTIONS

10. ◦ 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.
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.
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

11. CONCLUSIONS
OPINION

12. Our opinion
◦We think that if all the students follow this rules,
they could be a better students. And it could be
difficult, but if they do things all right, their
problems are going to have a good end.
◦So the students just need to concentrate inside
of the class and while the teacher is teaching.
◦But the most important is pay attention during
the class.
