Sarah’s Academic Success Story
Part 2
My test study method: I have different
strategies for different types of tests or subjects. For me, any type of math
is exceptionally difficult so I had to spend extra time on that. I would go
back through the homework problems focusing on the problems that I had extra
difficulty on. Many times I would ask the teacher for any additional study
materials they could provide. If it was a class that required memorization or
applying concepts I would create a sort of study guide for myself many times
focusing on what were key focal points in the class. If I knew there were going
to be essays I would try to take the terms and apply them to an example or
create different questions on the concepts focused on throughout the semester.
My time management
secret: I always always always carry a planner with me. I even use different
color highlighters to show what each event on my calendar is for. For example,
pink is personal, yellow is school, orange is work, blue is for appointments,
and green is for my sorority. Although I use white-out frequently, I can see in
bright yellow that if I have that project for finance due on Tuesday, I need to
start working on it on [the previous] Wednesday so I can just get it done. My
friends have always been amazed at how early I get things accomplished but that
is really all I do.
Choose
the Right!!!
