Sarah’s Academic Success Story

Part 2

My test study methods: I have different strategies for different types of test or subject. For me, any type of math is exceptionally difficult so I had to spend extra time on that I had extra difficulty on. Many times I would ask the teacher for additional study materials they could provide. If it was a class that required memorization or applying concepts I would create a shot to study guide for myself many times focusing on what were key focal points in the class. If I knew their where we 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. Example, pink 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 is 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 on how early I get things accomplished but that is really all I do.
