you can succeed every day part 1



     You Can Succeed Every Day
                              Part 1
My overall study method: I break up studying over several days and over the course of the evening and day. Cramming never works for me so I try not to do it. I will have longer sessions on nights before big test, but never stay up much later than normal before tests. I know that If I take the test tired the next day I will not do as well as If I was rested. How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: I usually look over the test or paper to see what I did that the teacher did not want. Basically, I do not stress out about grades that much because of me they are not worth getting really upset about them. I do well because I know that I know the material. However, if I do get a bad grade, or one lower that I expected, I make sure that the next time a test is coming I study even more so that I won’t be surprised by the questions.

effective study methods part 3

                           Part 3
How I deal with multiple projects/test: When I have more than one test or project, I break up my studying. I will study for one test 30 minutes or so and then switch to the other one. If there is some part of a project that I know will not take me very long, I will do it when I don’t have much time. If I am really in a church for time on a specific day, I will study for one test in the morning and the other in the afternoon or at the night. By breaking up the studying into different sections, I feel like I get much more done. Cram sessions do not work for me. I need to study something for a shorter period of time more often for it to sink in.

My time Management secret: My secret is to use time wisely. I know that on certain days I do not have time to run errands or hang out with my friends even. Each minute of each day is used for something. One thing that works really well for me is to write everything down. I mean everything. I write down if I am going to email people, write letters, or study. It works for me to have a planer that goes by the day and shows me to what I am going to be doing every day. Knowing what I have to do every day helps me plan out my week and my days. If I know that I don’t have time on Tuesday, I will try to get more things done on Monday or Sunday. I plan ahead, especially if I am going to be on the road for volleyball. When I am on the road, I bring my books and read on the bus, plane, or hotel room. Missing class is killer to make up from, but if you are upfront with your professors, they are usually nice about having to turn things in late or not being in classes. CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!

In the last three weeks of vacations what I did was spend time with my family members and friends. I went to different places like Bakersfield. For Christmas I spend time with my family  we ate, dance and open gifts. For new years we did the same but open gifts and the last days I spend time with my boyfriend and friends and cousins just chill.

My test study method: When it comes time to study for the test, I usually start 2-3 days before the test. I go through my my note and make flashcards on what is important for those sections, paying special attention to what teacher said would be on the test if there was a review session. Also, I go through the book and read the inset stories and add to my flashcards if there are practice problems or online assignments or old test, I use those to help me study for the test as well. Once the test is over; I keep the flashcards so that I have them for the next test or for the final. Flashcards are a marvelous learning tool. The key to remembering something is to repeat it numerous time-speed rehearsal. If you forget something is because you haven’t repeat it enough times for an extended period of time. Repetition is a law of learning; therefore, to learn and remember; to recall, it is mandatory that you repeat over and over the things you desire to learn and remember: You may be thinking, “Oh, no, repeating something.” You need to get used to it. For example, the more you practice a song on the piano, the better you become at playing that song. Learning and remembering is like playing the piano-the more you practice saying or doing it the better you can remember it. Look now at what you remember. You remember it because you have repeated it numerous times since first being exposed to it. So, Practice rehearsing those things you desire to remember; and they will stick with you
