Study for multiple exams

Part 2

My strategies for written assignments”: everyone has their own writing styles. I generally come up with an idea and do massive amounts of research before I ever think about writing. I then organize my research then sometimes prepare an outline before actually writing. I always print out the paper and come outline before actually writing. I always print out paper and come back to it the next day and reread it. That is the easiest way for me to catch my own mistake. I have to give my eyes a break from it, and if I just wrote it I think it looks perfect. But if I look at it a day later I almost always find grammatical errors or phrases and sentences I just want to reword.

How I succeed in team projects: never assume someone is doing what they are supposed to be doing. Have regular meetings and have each member show their work, not just give you or the group their word for it.

PART 1

HOW I STUDY FOR MULTIPLE EXAMS, DEAL WITH MULTIPLE PROJECTS: REALLY IT IS MY TIME MANAGEMENT THAT I EXPLAINED ABOVE. IF I SEE I HAVE MULTIPLE TINGS DUE OR TO STUDY FOR ALL AT THE SAME TIME I SPREAD OUT MY TIME BEFOREHAND. FOR EXAMPLE, IF I HAVE A TEST THURSDAY AND PART OF FRIDAY. START STUDYING FOR MY NEXT TEST ON THE SECOND HALF OF FRIDAY AND PART OF SATURDAY, THEN MY SECOND HALF OF FRIDAY AND PART OS SATURDAY AS WELL AND PART OF SUNDAY. THEN SUNDAY NIGHT I CAN REVIEW FOR MY MONDAY TEST BECAUSE I ALREADY STUDIED FOR IT. WHEN THAT TEST IS OVER I CAN BEGIN REVIEWING FOR THE OTHER TEST. MY OVERALL STUDY METHOD : I TRY TO BREAK IT UP OVER SEVERAL DAYS OR AT LEAST TWO. I GET BOGGED DOWN IF I TRY TO PULL AN ALL NIGHER. HOW IVE OVER COME AN INITIAL BAD GRADE. IF I RECEIVED A LOW GRADE I PROBABLY KNEW IT WAS COMING BECAUSE I DIDN’T PREPARE PROPERLY OR I DIDN’T USE THE RIGHT STUDY HABIT FOR THAT CLASS. I USUALLY TRY TO GO OVER WHET I DID WRONG AND SOMETIMES DISCUSS WITH THE TEACHER WHAT I CAN DO DIFFERENTLY ON THE NEXT EXAM OR WHAT THEY SUGGEST I DO FRO STUDYING FOR THE NEXT EXAM.

My test study method: I have different strategies for different types of tests or subjects. for me, any 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 or applying concepts I would create a sort of study guide for myself many times focusing on what were the 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 examples, 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 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 it done. My friends have always been amazed at how early I get things accomplished but that is really all I do.

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 hight 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 stared 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 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.

“There is no set path, just follow your heart”

-Anon

Reflection: I think that it’s not true because you can follow someone’s path that really inspired you to do good and go to school. Or if you see someone in your family that has the life they always wanted and leaves happy. But then you could also follow your heart in relationships I don’t think you can follow your heart to go to school.

here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: a big thing that not many will say is to ask for help if you needed it. its not a bad thing to not understand, it’s a bad thing if you don’t do anything about it. plan you time out so you are completing everything that needs to get good time management skills. ask for help is probably the biggest thing I can say though. if you don’t understand, go to office hours or fund a classmate that does understand and is willing to help you. if you try hard,it will come to you. I find myself thinking that I have to try harder to fail than I try to succeed. it is something that within me to succeed. if that is not who you are, then hopefully things that I have done can show you that success is something that is amazing to find! good luck!!
