You are currently in high school, and chances are, you are trying to ace that A in every exam, and maintain that 4.0 GPA, right? However, there are a whole bunch of different subjects in high school, and you may not be able to do well in all of these subjects. Therefore, in this post, I would like to share with you guys some of the study habits that you can practice right now in order to reach that 4.0 GPA - and if you are not getting a 4.0, this can help you push your grades up! This is one of the many helpful posts that can greatly benefit you in the long run, so please read and pay attention to what is below!
The first tip that I have for you guys is to basically revise every note that you have been taking. For the majority of the time in class, you are going to listen to what the teacher is saying and take notes in your notebook, right? But then, you just rarely go over these notes again, and then by the time you are getting close to a test, all you are doing is cramming a huge amount of information into your help, which is of course not very helpful. That’s why I would like to put this as the first tip for you all to follow: don’t just take notes for nothing, but please actually go over them again and again after you have learned about it. After you have written everything into your notes, don’t just leave them something in your bookshelf, backpack, or locker: now and then, please go over them again. There are a lot of benefits with this: first, when you are reviewing what you are taking notes, you are less likely to forget the content; second, by going over these notes, you can better prepare yourself for exams, when everything you learned has been stuck in your mind for a long time!
Next is to get help from your peers, your teachers, and your families! You may not realize it, but surrounding you is a very potential resource that can help you with a lot of things: your friends, teachers, and family! Let’s break this down a little bit, shall we?
First is your friends. I’m certain that a person can’t be very good at every aspect of life, and chances are, you are good at something while flawed at other aspects. Your friends, in turn, may be flawed in what you are good at, but are good subjects that you are not very good at. Because, to learn from your friends is very beneficial for you guys: they are the ones who are learning the same materials with you, so they can understand you well; they are available around at all time; and most importantly, this can foster your friendships.
Teachers are a very valuable resource too, since, basically, they are available to you at nearly all time, so reaching out to them won’t be the slightest issue.
Last is your family: remember, your parents used to be students once, hence chances are they have gone through these things already, meaning that they can certainly help you with some of your work. Your older siblings are even more likely to have learned what you are trying to understand, so feel free to ask them any concerns or questions that you have!
The next thing is to know areas you are weak at and work on that. You may be good at some subjects but not that good at others, therefore if you are already confident in a subject, you can prioritize on other subjects (don’t dump that subject entirely, though!) There are a lot of ways in which you can improve on subjects you are not entirely good at - you can go over your textbooks again and do some exercises there, you can go online and look at youtube videos that are teaching what you need to revise on, etc. Basically, by spending more time on areas you are weak at, you can both get higher scores for all subjects! Just a note that if you realize the subjects you’re good at (and hence spend little time on) are getting harder and harder, make sure to take more time to learn about those.
Lastly, please get prepared for exams earlier on! You can’t just prepare for an exam a few days before the date of the test - again, cramming doesn’t work well, and also it can build a lot of stress within yourself. Ideally, you should start preparing for exams about 2 to 3 weeks prior to the actual test date, so that 1) you can have plenty of time to work on areas that you are still working on, and 2) reach out for help in case you need it.
Along with these tips, there are still a lot of other tips that exist, many of which of course can work out for you! Therefore, feel free to look at other tips that exist and try it out - hope that they can work for you!
