Sarah’s Academic Success Story
Part 1
The management became a key factor in my study
skills for collage. 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 collage. I made sure in collage I was prepared for each class. Sometimes that
meant writing out the terms for the chapter we read (even if it wasn'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 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.
