Best resources used by students for success

It is the result of an investigation (sponsored by Reader's Digest) that determined what principles and attitudes that contribute to students will advance smoothly in high school or in college.

1. Establish your priorities.
Outstanding students do not support interference while studying. Once you open the book or turn on the computer, and do not answer phone calls or distracted by television or going to get something to eat.

2. STUDY SITE IN ANY ... or at all.
Although strongly advise you regularity in the times and places to study, it is also important that you go to form the habit of studying 'dropper'. As you do anything else, you can take a few minutes to read fragments of material you need to assimilate, or, above all, to make brief but frequent review.

3. Organize.
Try not to lose any minute to find items that you left somewhere without attention. A high school student follows, for example, this system: immediately filed schoolwork day in different colored folders by subject, so you can easily find them in times of examinations and review them without delay.

4. LEARN TO READ.
"The best class I ever made was to speed reading," says student Christopher Campbell. 'I not only got to read more words per minute but also learned to first look at the index of the books and their graphs and illustrations. Then, when I began to read I had already formed a general idea of ​​its contents and retained more '. The secret of good reading, "explains an expert, is to be" an active reader, a person who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the author's message. "

5. SET YOUR TIME.
When a teacher assigns a long process, students develop a good program, dividing the task into smaller parts so they would not be so overwhelming. In this sense, remember the phrase: 'You cannot eat an elephant ... Unless do progressively, piece by piece ...'

6. Take good notes ... AND USE.
'Reading the textbook is important, but it is also true that a teacher will test based on what they emphasized, and that you'll find your notes'. Outstanding students also take notes while reading the textbook. The university David Cieri, for example, uses its own system: draw a line down the center of the sheet from his notebook and writes, on one side, the notes on the text, and on the other, those of the lesson taught by teacher. So you can review both facets of the subject simultaneously.

7. DELIVER WORK neat.
Clean work can help you get higher grades. 'The student who gives a neat job is more likely to get a good grade, "says one of the teachers consulted. 'It's as if one would serve a delicious meal. By succulent that is the delicacy, it is not desirable if it comes in a dirty dish '.

8. KNOW THE STYLE EXPRESS AND TEACHER.
'If you do not understand the concept that the teacher is explaining, I ask you to repeat it. However, class participation is more than just ask questions; it is to show intellectual curiosity. Why is it so important to know the style that has the teacher to design tests?. Some tend to repeat the issues and to the questions. So it will be an advantage if it considers certain questions in advance to have the ready answers when pressed for time during the exam.
Even if it is not possible to anticipate the questions, try to know what methods used each teacher. For example, some are inclined to the narrative, while others with possibilities for questions or fill in the blanks. To become familiar with each, you will know if you should concentrate on the generality of a subject or only specific events.

9. STUDY GROUP.
The importance of group study revealed in an experiment conducted at the University of California experiment. As a student of post-graduate studies in that institute, Uri Riesman experimental a kind of calculation for freshmen in which Asian Americans scored, on average, better grades than other students from ethnic minority groups and histories similar academic. Riesman found that the first analyzing together the difficulties posed homework, applied different approaches and shared solutions. The other, by contrast, studied alone, spent most of his time reading and rereading the text, and tried the same approach again and again, even if I did not give result. Based on their findings, Riesman proposed study methods taught in groups in that course. When this was done, the groups reached the same good results.

10. CONSIDER.
When taking notes, the student Domenici Roman highlights points that, in his opinion, could be included in the tests. After Attempts asks questions based on those points and examined written one day before the test. 'If I cannot answer the question satisfactorily, I go back to review my notes' he explains.

11. DO MORE THAN WHAT YOU ASK.

If the math teacher poses five problems, Christi Anderson student solves tenfold. If history professor entrusted read eight pages, she reads 12. "Part of learning is practicing," says Christi. 'And the more you exercise, the extra you learn. "
