“A nations treasure is in the people who do the right.”

Study. Yeah, that’s right. Study. Read, review and analyze class material so you know it. This takes time, effort and a quiet place. If you learn how to study now, you’ll be way ahead before you even start college.

·         Ask for help if you’re having trouble. You may need to ask more than one person.

·         Have a special area for studying where you won’t be distracted.

·         Study in small “chunks” and take regular breaks. Try not to cram.

·         Have a regular study routine to make studying a habit.

·         Study with a friend or group and share information.

·         Get organized

·         Use good study habits

·         Learn how to take tests

·         Believe in yourself

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

Get Organized:

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

ü  Ask the teacher for some e outside help when the classroom explanation is not adequate for you

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

ü  Have phone numbers of classmates, especially of one who will be your “homework buddy.” This is someone in your class who will 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.

ü  Ask questions when you are unsure of something.

ü  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.

ü  Keep your bookshelf, desk, and kitbag neat

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