How to get a GOOD grade ?? This is the famous question always been asking by students. So, here I want to share some tips how to get good grade. Enjoy reading !!
1. Take charge of this thing.
College isn't like high
school. There's no teacher or parent to remind you every day of what you
need to do. So step up to bat and take responsibility. What grades you
get will depend on what you yourself do.
2. Select, don't settle.
To get good grades in college, it's very important that you pick the
right courses. Pick classes that you think you can do. And be sure to
pick the right level in required courses such as math, English comp,
sciences, and languages (in some colleges, there are five courses all
bearing the name "college math"). Most of all, don't accept some
"standard freshman program" from your adviser. Pick your courses one by
one, paying careful attention that some fulfill distribution
requirements, some count to a possible major, some satisfy some interest
of yours, and at least one is something that somehow "sounds
interesting." You'll do better if you've made the right choices.
3. Study like you mean it. At college, you're expected
to prepare an hour or two (sometimes more) for each class meeting. This
means budgeting the time each week and finding an appropriate "study
environment." No devices, no social networking, no friends, no
eating—just your mind up against the work. We know this can be
painful—but all students who get A's do this (no matter what they tell
you).
4. Join a community. Many students, especially in the
sciences, improve their grades with "study buddies" or study
groups—especially when their cohorts are smarter than they. Try to meet
at least once a week—especially in courses in which there are weekly
problem sets or quizzes. Students can improve their grades one level (or
more) when they commit to working in an organized way with other
students.
5. Make a plan. Part of getting good grades is
balancing off the various things you have to do, week by week. So get a
calendar—electronic is good—and enter in all your classes, exams, and
papers, and professors' office hours (more on that later). For the
brave, also enter in the hours you plan to study each week for each
course. That way, you'll have a plan for (or at least a fantasy about)
what you'll be doing as the semester progresses.
6. Double up on tests. Before each test, take a
practice test you make up, with questions similar to the ones you expect
on the real test. Write it out under test conditions (no notes, limited
time). Use handouts, study guides, homeworks and labs, old exams, and
hints from the prof or TA to construct the test. If you get to a test
and the questions look surprising to you, you haven't really prepared
properly.
So, that all the tips I can share. If that tips can help you, take it. If it look ridiculous, just leave it.
Okay, good night. See you on my next post :*
