To get the highest grades in school, you need commitment, creativity, and a good study plan. An “A” grade is evidence of one's academic achievement and mastery. You don't have to be the teacher's favorite child to get an A, but you do have to do your homework and take lessons.
Step
Part 1 of 4: Making a Plan
Step 1. Read the syllabus
Know what is expected of you at the start of the semester so you won't be surprised when you take the exam.
Step 2. Pay attention to how big your portion of your test score is
If a paper accounts for 50% of your grades, prioritize the preparation of this paper and allocate more time to assignments that will significantly affect your grades.
Step 3. Set up a regular study schedule for each subject
The syllabus that has been prepared by the school should be able to provide guidance on how many hours you need to read in one week, so record this schedule on your calendar from the beginning of the semester. Decide what days you have to study for a particular subject.
- Buy an agenda to manage your study time.
- Schedule to study material on a different subject every 3 to 4 hours to keep your mind clear.
Step 4. Use technology to help you
If you are an aural learner, record all the explanations from your teacher and listen again. If you are a visual learner, take notes or make a videotape to make it easier for you to make revisions.
Step 5. Be proud of your grades and good study habits
Don't let your friends call you "weird" or "nerd." You won't be able to get A's in almost any class unless you study hard.
Step 6. Take a break every time you study for 45 minutes
Your brain should be given a chance to breathe fresh air, rest and refocus.
Part 2 of 4: Getting the Best Score from the Tasks
Step 1. Sit slightly forward in a large classroom
You have to be able to hear, see, and be noticed by your teacher if you want to ask questions.
Step 2. Reread your course material over and over again
Your memorization will improve dramatically if you reread the lesson once or twice.
Step 3. Make a summary right before you go to sleep
Briefly jot down key points from your reading or homework, or reread your notes. Even though you are sleepy, your brain is still able to process information while you are asleep.
Step 4. Do your tasks carefully
Ask questions if you don't understand and think critically before you start working on an assignment.
Step 5. Start working on your assignment on the day the assignment is given, even if you still have a few days or a few weeks left
You will get the best marks when the topic of this assignment is still fresh in your mind.
Step 6. Record everything you read
Annotate in the margins, mark important terms, and draw doodles or charts of the concepts you learn. It's easier to read annotations than to reread the entire text, and you'll also be able to remember the information you read well.
Summarize the key points from your textbook or use a pencil to annotate your textbook. Do not make photocopies of copyrighted textbooks
Step 7. Find a tutor if you need help with basic subject matter
Studying math, science concepts, and writing may have to be done outside of school hours. This extra study time will be of use to you when you follow the next lesson.
Step 8. First check and correct your assignment
Get in the habit of checking your assignments before they are submitted. Ask someone to check your work, and correct any mistakes first so you can get the best grades.
Part 3 of 4: Getting the Best Score on the Exam
Step 1. Study for the exam in a different place
Changes in the atmosphere of the room can improve your ability to memorize the subject matter.
Step 2. Combine the material you already understand with the new material
Studies show that the brain will make different patterns between data or information that you already know and new ones.
Step 3. Do several study sessions a week instead of studying all at once for a long time
The more often you recall information from your lessons before the exam, the easier it will be for you to recall it during the exam.
Step 4. Look for sample exam questions online
Look for the subject to be tested, then look for “quiz” or “test” and the time limit for taking the exam. If you can't find an example of this problem, use your textbook or form a team with friends and create 10 questions each to answer.
Step 5. Take time to relieve stress while imagining success before the test
Dare to face challenges such as taking exams, don't shy away. Treat yourself to a snack or watch a YouTube video before you take the exam.
Step 6. Cross out the multiple choice answers that are definitely wrong
You will feel satisfied if you can choose the right answer by reducing the wrong answer choices.
Step 7. Understand the value curve
Your grades will be compared to other grades, so you should always get an above-average test score. Study harder for each subject on the grade curve because getting a near perfect score is the only way to get an A on your test results.
The higher your grade, getting an A will be more challenging because the majority of students will be interested in understanding the same material
Part 4 of 4: Getting Better Grades
Step 1. Come to school to meet your teacher during office hours if you have something to ask or you feel left out
Ask questions and try to find ways to understand material you don't understand.
Step 2. Ask if you can take an exam to improve your grades
If your test scores or homework are unsatisfactory, ask if you can repeat for a higher score. There are teachers who won't give you a chance, but there are also those who appreciate your commitment to learning.
Step 3. Do additional tasks
Start early in the semester and never neglect to submit additional assignments for improvement because you can't get an A without doing this assignment.
Step 4. Be present in class
Attendance is a good way to reassure the teacher that you enjoy learning. Listen and be involved in discussing the subject matter in class so that your teacher will give you more opportunities.
