How to "Ace" every class

Do you ever wonder how some people seem to do next to nothing and get A's while others cram all night and fail? Your intelligence has less to do with being an "A" student than your study technique. This article will teach you how to be an "A" student.

Step1
Never study at home.

Plan a time to leave and come home each day. You will relax and sleep better if you know that when you are home, you can not study. Do not come home until your designated time.


Step2
Get Sleep

A fast way to fail is to be too tired to think. You can not study anyway, so you might as well sleep and

save your fun for the weekend.


Step3
Avoid studying on the weekend.

Unless there was a project given on Friday that has to be turned in on Monday, do not study on weekends. Weekends should be your time to have fun and forget about school.


Step4
Only study during the day.

You have to be out of your house anyway so you might as well study and if you do, then you will never have to pull an all nighter. If you find yourself cramming all night, you failed to follow the steps on how to be an "A" student.


Step5
Find a place to study.

Being an "A" student is all about setting up a routine. Study in the same place every time. The library is usually the best place. Do not leave your study area during your study time to go do other things, even if you are finished with your assignment for that day, work ahead. It is very important to set in your mind that the block of time is for study only and nothing else. So, no point in hurrying it up so you can leave.


Step6
Never miss a class.

Attending every class is the single best thing you can do! Many instructors base tests on lecture material. If all you do is show up to class every day, you will score higher than someone who skips and crams.


Step7
Write down a schedule.

Now that you have a location and time frame to study in, make a schedule.

Example:

suppose you can study 4 hours a day and have 4 classes and a chapter a week to read in each class.

Schedule time for each class:
At first you may not know how much time each class will take, so give each class the same time, an hour each class a day.

Count the pages:
Count how many pages are in the chapter for a class and divide it by 5. This is how many pages each day you have to study. You may be surprised at how little there is to read each day.

Remember your due dates:
Find out when your assignments are due and the time frame you have to work on it. Make a note on the day that falls in the time frame to work on your assignment. Many times you will be finished reading before your time is up and will have plenty of time to work on your assignments.
