How to Get Good Grades

Studying good is the motive of every student. Every student wants to shine brightly by scoring good grades. But some students fail to achieve their objectives and fail most of the time. They try every possible thing but nothing helps them. They become the victims of embarrassment and they are being taunted and insulted most of the time by their teachers and parents. Well in this blog I will be helping those students who want to get good grades and pass each and every time. But remember you need to work hard for that as well. So let’s begin

1.    Choose an ideal study place:-

You need to choose a place to study which suits you best but not the bed or your sleeping place because you will want to sleep at the time of studying and you will not be able to concentrate on your studies. Choosing an ideal place is extremely important because it will create the environment of study. So, make sure you choose the space which is far from every disturbance like tv, surrounding noise etc.

2.    Stop Cramming:-

This is the most favorite thing of almost every student. Even those students who get good grades cram all the time. But seriously there is no need of cramming because once you cram one night before your test, you prepare yourself for the test but after one or two nights of the test you will forget that you have learned. This is because you depended on cramming. Instead clear your concepts of the topic. For that read that topic carefully for at least two times and try to understand what the topic is about and pick some important points. If you are creative enough you can rewrite the whole paragraph for the sake of simplicity in your own words. Remember everyone wants concepts not cramming in the professional world. So start working on deleting the word ‘cram’ from your dictionary right now.

3.    Make Notes:-

One thing that you can do in order to stop cramming is to make notes of what your teacher is lecturing about. This will help you in remembering the extra points that teacher have told you while lecturing. Some teachers make tests and exams from their lectures so concentrating and making notes will prove to be the most essential step that you must take.

4.    Listen Carefully to your Instructors:-

Always concentrate on what your teacher is teaching. During your teacher’s teaching you must avoid other habits like talking with your fellows, eating or anything that prevents you from listening to your teachers. The point is that you might miss some points that you didn’t want to miss.

5.    Don’t bunk your classes:-

This is for you bunkers that you are spoiling your parent’s money. You shouldn’t bunk your classes and make holidays without any reason at any cost. You shouldn’t miss a single lecture until and unless you are extremely smitten to do so. The chances are that you might not be able to self study that subject.

6.    Self Study:-

You should study yourself at home as well every day. 2 to 3 hours a day make 14 to 21 hours a week that is an ideal time for studying. You should revise what you have been taught. I would suggest you to give yourself a test on your weekend of the things that you have been taught that week. This practice will help you remember things much longer.

7.    Don’t study all the time:-

Give yourself sometime to rest. Take a sweet nap and study with your fresh mind. Within a 2 or 3 hours study, study for 40 minutes and give yourself a break of 20 minutes and again start to study for 40 minutes. During that 20 minutes break you can check your messages, drink water, taking a snack, walk in your home etc. Just stay away from noisy things like watching tv that will take the place of what you have learned so far and they will be playing in your mind while studying. You get the idea right?

8.    Make a Schedule:-

Make a schedule of how much time you want to study? At what time of day you want to study? Which subjects a day you want to study? Making a schedule will help you in remembering everything within a given time space.

9.    Avoid Disturbance:-

Now this is the most important point. Avoid every kind of disturbance. The main kinds of disturbances are mobile freaking phones, televisions and computers. You must avoid them. If you are studying on a computer make sure you are studying and not doing anything else. Switch off your mobile phones and throw them out of your sight. Don’t study in a room which contains television. These won’t let you study believe me. You must avoid them if you really want to be a bright student.

To be a bright student and to be able to get good grades you must follow the above points. You might be thinking that I have burdened you but believe me this isn’t a burden. This is for your own good. You have your weekends on which you can hang out with your friends and do other stuff. But you must study on your weekends as well.

I might have missed something in this blog but I have covered all the main topics. But remember these points are nothing without your hard work. These are like changing your lifestyles. So you must change your lifestyle and for that you have to work hard. Hope we all have a bright future ahead.
