So what’s your problem?
Do you know how to study?
Do you repeat what you’re trying to remember to yourself over and over?
Do you waste time when studying (You have just finished reading and have no idea what you just read.)
Having trouble getting ready to study (“I have to clean the bathroom before I study, I have to watch this one TV show, I have football practice first, etc.”)
Do you have good place to study?
Do you complete ALL of your homework EVERY day?
Do you know your learning style? (Visual learners learn by seeing. Auditory learners learn by hearing. Tactile learners learn by feeling. Are you a combination of the three styles?
Metacognition. What’s that? Do you know what to do when you do not understand an assignment/problem? Then can you go to the next step when your first solution does not work? Do you change what you do depending on the type of test your teacher will give?
Success in school is due to motivation, time management, and good study habits. It basically takes some effort from you. This means that if you want to do well you must be willing to set aside time to study and to do homework. You may have to sacrifice at times. However, believe it or not, you can spend less time studying if you do the right things.
