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 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 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!!
