Every student wants to show everyone that he is not a fool and cannot be taken for granted. Many students want to excel in school, but don't know how. If you want to be a student who is respected by all, has a reputation to be proud of, and gets good grades, read on and apply the suggested instructions from the start of the school year.
Step
Part 1 of 2: Improving Learning Achievement
Step 1. Prepare as best you can for the first day of school
Instead of coming to school unprepared, take this moment to show the teacher that you are able to schedule activities well, are ready to take lessons, and have the motivation to learn. Don't be shy to ask the teacher if you don't understand the material being explained. In addition to showing a desire to learn, the teacher will see your interest in the subject being discussed.
Step 2. Complete the homework by the deadline
Make the most of your time by doing homework, for example when changing subjects, after school, or at the library. Don't be shy about asking if you have any difficulties while studying or doing assignments.
Step 3. Study regularly
Don't relax all week so you have to study all night to take the exam tomorrow morning. Besides being useless, this method will trigger fatigue so that you have difficulty concentrating during the exam. Studying little by little every day is better than staying up late and experiencing stress before taking a test/quiz/test. The ability to self-discipline to study half an hour a day will go a long way.
Form good habits by studying as early as possible. In college, study assignments will be 2-3 times higher than in high school and this can be overwhelming
Step 4. Keep notes, homework sheets, and assignments neatly
Arrange according to the date in the folder or order. Many teachers check their students' notes or assignments on a regular basis.
Step 5. Study every night
Even though there is no exam tomorrow, the teacher can hold an impromptu quiz. If the teacher explains the material in the order of chapters in the textbook, read it first so you already know the topic to be discussed. In addition, the material that has been studied will be useful in the future. Don't waste the opportunity to get additional points because the tasks you collect are not necessarily given a value of 100. So, do this to improve your score.
Step 6. Complete notes and submit unfinished assignments
If you don't go to school, get notes from a reliable friend, study the material explained, and ask the teacher for assignments to show you care about the final grade.
Step 7. Don't miss the deadline for submitting homework, papers, or other assignments set by the teacher
Write down the deadline on a small piece of paper as a reminder and stick it on the bedroom door. As much as possible, complete the task before the deadline. However, don't be in a hurry to get your homework done quickly. Instead, set aside enough time to answer the questions as best you can. In addition to getting A's in all subjects, being an outstanding student means completing assignments and studying as well as possible by allocating sufficient time and taking advantage of opportunities to earn extra grades.
Step 8. Be a perfectionist
In order to be the best student in school, try to do your best on assignments. Complete the task by providing accurate answers or information. Reducing the grade of a multi-digit assignment may not have much effect, but it will reduce the final grade if this happens frequently.
Step 9. Establish a good relationship with the teacher
If your teacher knows you as a studious student, always paying attention and respecting the teacher inside and outside the classroom, chances are he or she is willing to help you.
Step 10. Be a capable student
In addition to trying to get the best grades, take part in extracurricular activities, for example by playing sports, playing music, creating art, or joining a debate group. Engage in class discussions and show respect when arguing with other students. A high test score is not enough to get a scholarship or enter a university because there are many other criteria to consider, for example: activeness in extracurricular activities, high report cards, social activities, and history of absenteeism.
Part 2 of 2: Doing Extracurricular Activities
Step 1. Join a club or organization
Being the best student is not just getting high marks. Take advantage of after-school hours to achieve achievements and be known by many people by getting involved in clubs or organizations run by students and school employees. Find out if there will be an introduction to student council activities or ask the registrar about organizations you can join. If you don't have an activity you like, start a new one by starting your own club.
- Join a club that benefits the community. The activities you do later can be counted as community service to add value.
- Invite friends to join the club.
Step 2. Find a creative activity that interests you
Students may participate in extracurricular activities outside the prescribed curriculum, for example by taking classes in arts, foreign languages, music, drama, and business. Sign up for various classes, even though these activities will extend school hours. This way, you will be able to make a good impression on the teacher and make lots of new friends.
Take part in activities that you are not good at. If you don't have an artistic talent, take a painting class to boost your confidence
Step 3. Join a sports team
In addition to improving your physical health, exercising is a fun way to build a positive reputation by being active at school. You will be the center of attention when you work out with the school team and a vehicle for improving your skills. In a country with four seasons, sporting activities are usually seasonally adjusted (football in the fall, basketball in the winter, soccer in the spring). So you can join three sports teams in one school year.
If you don't like sports, try to win games to please your classmates
Tips
- Wear comfortable clothes while studying so that you are not nervous or distracted and can study longer.
- Apply study tips, for example: use acronyms and short sayings to make memorizing easier. Study the material that will be discussed in class. Look for words you don't understand because the teacher may ask if any of the students know the meaning of the word. Since you've found out the day before, you can answer questions right away, giving you the impression of being knowledgeable. Try to impress the teacher!
- Don't force yourself to read last night's lesson because you only need to understand the topic that will be covered. Make a study schedule and make it a habit to study early so you can rest and be ready for the next day's lessons.
- Arrange the study area as desired. Store books and school supplies neatly. If you're bothered by a messy desk, clean it up right away. Listen to soft music while studying.
- Make a good impression on teachers and classmates. Impress teachers by coming to school on time and always finishing homework. Impress friends by providing assistance, for example: lending notes, pens, pencils, even sharing food.
- Feel free to take advantage of the tutorial. Get in the habit of coming to school early or leaving late because this method will be very useful. Focus on paying attention to the teacher who is giving an explanation. The teacher will be happy if you ask. However, don't ask questions because you want to get attention because this method is not useful.
- In addition to studying diligently, be a student who is honest, kind, and ready to help others. You can achieve the desired results by studying hard and concentrating.
- The best way to get good grades is to find something interesting about the subject you are studying so that learning becomes more fun and easier. Look for things you like about the subject you are studying. Whatever the meaning of the message, try to apply it as best you can.
- Be nice to others, study hard, focus, don't chat while attending class or outside of class so you can take the time to study. Participate in various clubs, sports teams, or organizations (choose an activity that interests you) and prioritize reading textbooks.
- Use the most appropriate learning strategy. Once you've found the most comfortable way of studying, work on dealing with stress. The best thing you can do is do your best. Do meditation with silence for about 2 minutes to improve the ability to concentrate.
- Be kind to teachers and friends, for example: helping hold the door open for passers-by.
Warning
- Avoid stress while studying.
- Be humble and not arrogant.
