Hey I am for this school year I really want to get A's in every class. I am willing to work my butt off for it. I just would like any advice you guys think would help in keeping organized, and motivated…or just any tips at all for getting all A's. I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
Here are some tips that help me:
-HIGHLIGHT. Whenever you have to do a reading, just highlight the important parts. Buy a bunch of different highlighters and color code. (For example, in history class, you could have yellow for main ideas, pink for names, blue for dates, etc.)
-Set goals and give yourself rewards. You could watch 10 minutes of T.V. every time you do half an hour of homework, or eat a piece of chocolate every five problems you finish.
-If you need help, get it! Ask a parent, friend, teacher, or sibling when you get confused. But never just straight-up ask for the answer; get someone to help you work you through it, not do your homework for you.
-Raise your hand in class. Even when you aren't sure if you have the right answer, take risks and do your best.
-Don't leave long-term projects until the last minute. Give yourself a schedule and stick to it. Have a day-to-day plan of what work you need to get done.
-If you need to memorize facts, write a song! For science class I wrote a rap about evolution, and that's one of the few things we learned that year that I really remember.
-Go the extra mile. If your teachers ever offer extra help sessions, even if you're doing well, it always helps to do everything you can to practice. You should also take notes even when it's just optional.
-Get your parents to help proofread your essays. Actually, get anyone and everyone you can to proofread for you. It really, really helps.
-For English class, get into the habit of writing and typing with proper grammar. Whether you're emailing your friends or jotting something down in your diary, pretend you're going to turn it in to a teacher and dONt wRitE lyK dIs!!1 (Although reading your question, you seem to have that down already)
-Use tab dividers in your binder. Everyone organizes their stuff differently but I would recommend having a section for each subject, plus one for homework that you still need to do. It's hard not to get lazy about just randomly shoving stuff in there, but it makes a huge difference if you take the extra couple seconds to put things in the right place.
I really hope I helped, and good luck in school!
