Sarah’s
Academic Success Story
Part 1
Time
management became a key factor in my study skills for college. In high school,
there were times I was able to study for an hour or two the night before a test
and get away with it. This was not the case in college. I made sure in college
I was prepared for each class. Sometimes that meant writing out the terms for
the chapter we read (even if when it isn’t required) to better understand them.
That way when the midterm or test comes around I was able to understand what I
was studying. I started taking excellent notes in class in college. I may have done
this in high school, but in college I started typing up those notes after
class. This helped me remember what I just went over in class then when I had a
test one week later I was more likely to remember then as well.
My overall
study method: Structured. One thing I learned was I had to adapt or change my
study method according to the class. I couldn’t study for a Religious Class the
same way I studied for a Finance class. But making sure I had enough time to
study for each class – even if it meant carrying a planner with me at all times
was a big part of my success.
CHOOSE
THE RIGHT!!!
