How to Succeed In School

Some Experts say the difference between good students and poor students isn’t mainly ability. Instead, it’s how students use their abilities. A little organization can produce amazing results.

1.    Have a homework agenda or scribbler to keep track of assignments and always carry it.

2.    Ask the teacher for some outside help when the classroom explanation is not adequate for you.

3.    Use scribblers to put your notes in, and keep them organized.

4.    Have phone numbers for classmates, especially of one who will be your “homework buddy” This is someone in your class who collects hand-outs and assignments for you when you are absent from school. You can borrow your buddy’s notes when you return to school, and you can do the same for this friend.

5.    Ask questions when you are unsure of something.

6.    Pay attention in class as it is very easy to let your mind wander. Take notes, concentrate on what is being said; it will be easier to absorb the information being presented.

7.    Keep your bookshelf, desk, and bag neat.

8.    Be prepared for each class, bringing the materials you need to class (including pencil and paper)
