Prepare for tests
PART 1
Are you really doing everything you can to prepare for tests? Re-reading the chapter and looking over enough. Below is a list of tips for test preparation from successful students.

!. Keep up to date with assignments

2. Take notes in every class every day. This includes asking questions when you don’t understand.

3. Process information as you comes to it. Learning information is much different than “becoming acquainted” with it.

4. Process information systematically. Label in the margin works well for most people.

5. Adapt it to suite your learning styles. Capitalize on the discipline label in the margin requires and makes it habit to process information to texts and lectures, not just go over it.

6. Have a study base that is free of distractions

7. Have a specific time for initial study of each subject. You may need more than this time, but having set time will save you time.

Student success statement

“Obedience leads to true freedom”

James E. Faust

Reflection: This statement from James E. Faust is very true. I agree with this statement because if you follow the rules and obey you will live in freedom. For example, criminals disobey and commit crimes so they are imprisoned and have no type of freedom. Freedom is beautiful and you must obey to have a nice clean and free life. If you disobey you choose the wrong and you give up your freedom. You have to follow rules, obey orders and follow the correct ways in order to have eternal freedom. Disobeying can lead you to prison and a filthy life, but if you obey and choose the right your life will maintain free. Always choose the right and you will always be free!

The Secrets of successful students

Part 2



Successful students take charge of their lives and balance their time between fun and work. They know that there is a time for all-nighters, and it’s not during week.

Successful students take care of themselves

Do you live on junk food and lay down on the couch watching TV every night? Students with poor physical habits probably don’t feel very energetic in the mornings, and they feel good sitting in class, either.



Good food and a little exercise will clear your head! Students who eat junk in moderation (you really don’t have to cut it out complete) and work out in some ways are more likely to participate in sports, That means they have more balance in their lives, feel better in the mornings, and are more alert in class

You just have to change a few habits to feel better. Eat healthy foods, start walking more, take a yoga class, enroll in material arts classes, or challenge yourself to do sit ups at night. You’ll notice a change right away.

Thank you, Grace Fleming, for your suggestions

Secrets of Successful Students


Secrets of Successful Students

Part 1

It’s a Matter of Taking Charge

Of Your Time and Destiny!



Have you ever wondered what successful students do to set themselves apart from the rest? The key is simple: successful students take charge of their own success.

There is no magic trick, power drink, or special class that makes a student stand out because they take charge of their time and their task, without relying on anybody else to tell them what to do.



Successful Students Control their calendars. Successful students don’t rely on parents or teachers to tell them when assignments are due or when test dates are approaching. They mark special dates in their calendars and keep track of commitments and schedules.

Successful students don’t put others in charge of their lives.

Successful students Prioritize

Do you like to stay out late with friends? Do you like to go to parties? Do you like to watch TV or play video games all night? Well, who doesn’t?

Student Success Statement


Student Success Statement

 

“Your name is a diamond: make sure it shines”

-Sergio Tovallin

I really enjoy this statement. It makes me want to do things so that people could know my name. The quote “Your name is a diamond: make sure it shines” means that you should do good things, so that when people see your name they know who you are and what you did. This also means that your name will shine to other people and they will know that you chose the right and you will be lucky enough to have a clean name.

The Average “C” Student


The Average “C” Student

6.EFFORTS : The “C” students are capable of sufficient effort, but either fail to realistically evaluate the effort needed to accomplish a task successfully, or lack the desire to meet the challenge. They put forth very little effort. They don’t realize that they will be rewarded according the amount of effort they put into a project. Little effort = bad results

7. COMMUNICATIONS: “C” students communicate in ways that often limit comprehension or risk misinterpretation. Ideas are not well formulated before they are expressed. Poor listening/reading habits inhabits matching inquiry

 

8. RESULTS: “C” students obtain mediocre or inconsistent results on test. They have some concept of what is going on but clearly have not mastered the material.
