School
is a complicated thing. You want to socialize and have fun, but also do
well and give yourself the best change for a future. It's important to
buckle down and earn good marks, but it can be easy to push your work to
the background. Anyone can learn to do well and improve their scores to
start doing their best. Scroll past the jump to learn to get better
grades. continue...
1.Create a positive attitude. You
may ask "how does creating a good attitude supposed to boost up my
mark?" Well, if you create a good attitude in studying and think
positive things about studying, it's likely that you will start liking a
subject that you were really not fond of before. You may also get marks
for having a good attitude and for not disrupting a class.
2.Attend your classes regularly. If
you attend classes daily instead of skipping them, you will be there to
listen to all the lessons the teachers are teaching and won't miss
important days. It's likely that you will remember or learn more if you
are in class when the teacher is teaching than if you skipped class and
then take notes later on.
3.Set goals for yourself. Set
goals like 'get good marks in math, science etc' for yourself and then
try your hardest to achieve those goals. If you fail once, don't give
up, keep trying.
4.Do your homework daily. When
you get homework, do it, don't leave it. If you're tempted to watch
your favourite TV show instead of do homework, think about it this way:
Is your favourite TV show going to help you get to a good university and
possibly help you achieve the job of your dreams? If the answer is yes,
then by all means watch the show. Homework is important because it
gives you practice on the subject that you are learning. Always do your homework.
5.Ask for help when you need it. If
you have a question on something, ask for help, don't just leave it
behind. You can ask anybody who has knowledge on the subject that you
need help with like your parents, teacher, brother or sister. It will
most definitely help you in tests and quizzes.
6.Manage your time effectively. It
will help you reduce anxiety and focus on studying. If you have a test
next week, start studying now. Try not to study at the last minute and
cram the night before. Try studying 1 or 2 hours daily and leave a half
hour for homework. If you study before you do homework, it will help you
do your homework faster and help you understand the subject better.
7.Always review. After school, review what you learned that day.
8.Develop test smarts. This
will really help and increase your confidence when taking exams if
you're familiar with the typical exam format, common errors to avoid,
and know how the concepts in a subject area usually tested.
9.Know your personal learning style. It
will help you maximize your learning by using effective study
techniques, developing meaningful notes, and making the most efficient
use of your study time.

Tips
- If you don't understand ask! That's what teachers are there for after all. As soon as you spot something that confuses you, even if you're just a little unclear, go and ask the teacher to help you.
- Always take notes over important things, or anything you know you won't remember later.
- Eat nutritious food and don't stress yourself.
- Make your own style of understanding things,making best use of day to day scenarios.
- Be clear with definitions and theorems..
- Even if the lesson is extremely boring, try to pay attention. Pretty much everything you learn in school is worthwhile.
- Taking help from others is fine but if you yourself try and understand the concepts it will enhance your thinking skills and will make you more independent towards your studies. Curiosity is the best teacher!
- Always do your homework, and always review what you learned.
- Always understand the topic, don't just learn it.
- After finishing a chapter, you can explain the same to your friends. It's a nice way of learning things, and it's quite more interesting.
- Get involved in group discussions about the chapter you are confused about.
- Maintain a healthy diet. This will help keep you focused in class and keep you alert for longer.
Make notes while studying. Write a synopsis for your subject if you are studying it for the first time/ in the beginning of the school year. This will help you in the future examinations by allowing you to remember the contents of your subjects.
When you are preparing for a test or exam- forget about the actual test or a exam and just know that what you are doing exactly.
Studying while containing fear inside yourself is a waste. Get rid of fear and any other possible bad feelings before studying.
Don't be disappointed with bad previous results.
Write clearly and be direct to the point. Don't write any irrelevant information. Don't wrap the right answer in a wrong answer. Write in full sentences. Don't expect the examiner to link your sentences, fill in the space or any other thing. Think that the examiner is your little brother, and you are explaining to him. Will he understand anything by just telling him the keywords? No!
Never fret over lost marks in previous exams and get depressed. Instead, take a deep breath whenever you think about it, be optimistic and study well for upcoming exams. This will help you to do well in your exams.
Study in a silent place, so that your mind won't be distracted from what you're studying.
There is no shortcut to success. This is the first thing you should remember. For this reason, you have to make a great deal of effort.
Focus. When studying for your exam, be somewhere where there are no distractions. Also, make sure you have eaten and have had plenty of sleep, otherwise you could become tired and unfocused easily. Have no distracting things around you, unless they can be used as inspiration for helping you study (such as a cork board full of notes made throughout the year).
Make a list of all the things you need to do to study for each subject, and how long you think it will take you. Use this information to make up a study timetable. Be certain that you have given yourself all the time you think you need, plus a little extra per subject, in your study plan. Also make sure your study plan has enough space in it, so if something comes up one day, you can shuffle around your plan so that you don't lose study time.
A good timetable will help you. You may organize it in such a way that a long/hard subject takes more space than a short/easy subject. Remember, however, that all subjects should be studied.
Studying while having something in mind that you want to do is a waste of time. Do everything you want first then study; as your brain will not beg you to stop studying. However, if you have nothing in mind, then don't play (for example) before studying - finish your job towards school and then enjoy in the rest of the day.
Each subject has a unique way of preparing, studying and answering its questions. Some competitive exams (university exams, for example) need a long and complex preparation, while your school exams may need preparation of one or two weeks.
Get rid of any unnecessary 'time wasting mechanisms' while studying. This includes TV, computer (only if you need Internet access), mobile phones, tablet, or even your siblings!
Attempt the questions which you find easy first and then the ones that seem harder.
Study in phases. Each phase should not exceed 40 minutes in time. Take a break after each phase (up to 20 minutes).
THANK YOU GOD BLESS YOU.
