sarah's academic success story part 1



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 of the chapter we read 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 in class in college. I may have done this in high school, but in college I started typing up the notes after class. This helped me remember what I just went over in class then when I had 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 religion 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!!
