How Successful Students Prepare for Tests Part 1


How Successful Students Prepare for Tests
Part 1

Are you really doing everything you can to prepare for tests? Re-reading the chapter and looking over your notes is not enough. Below is a list of tips for test preparation from successful students.

  1. 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 come 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 suit your learning styles. Capitalize on the discipline label in the margin requires and make it a habit to process information from texts and lectures, not just go over it.
6. Have a study place 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 a set time will save you time.

Student Success Statement





Student Success Statement

“Obedience leads to true freedom”
 James E. Faust

I think that this statement is just saying that if you follow the rules everything will go right and you get more freedom. If you play by the rules you will be awarded, if you don’t play by the rules, you will be punished. The only way you can actually get true freedom is by being obedient and Choosing The Right!!!

Secrets of Successful Students Part 2



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 finals week.

Successful Students Take Care of Themselves

Do you live on junk food and lay on the couch watching TV every night? Students with poor physical habits probably don’t 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 completely) and work out in some way 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 martial 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 Part 1


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 excel in the classroom. Students stand out because they take charge of their time and their tasks, 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 play video games all night? Well, who doesn’t?
