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 the 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
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!!!
