get better grades


Question Posted Thursday August 25 2005, 10:55 pm

i'm a straight A student. but my grades are always in the mid 90 range. wat are some ways to help me get 100 instead of just 95s. there always seem to be a small detail or something that causes me to lose a few points and be second.

well what i would do is i would study some more to improve your grade and then i would cut out playing viedo games or w/e you do when you get home and work on your homework fist then after your done play! Or ask if you can do extra credit and see what the teacher says im sure he/ she will understand or you can wait until summer and go to summer school.. or you can maybe hire a tutor! i hope some of those ideas work and GOOD LUCK!:-)

always double check your work- but also what i think helps with little mistakes is checking each problem or question after youve done it- so 1) its fresh on your mind and 2) you catch it right away instead of just skimming over it and missing the mistake

also read each question carefully twice- teachers like to throw in trick questions every once and a while...

hope i helped

try to study as you go. Liek for tests and stuff dont just study on the night before the test...study a little bit each night and make sure to think about little details that would make good quesiotns...like if you were a teacher wut kind of questions would you ask. Have your mom or someone quiz you on the stuff you need to study. Hope i helped!

If you don't already do a lot of past papers, do more of them. You might know your work well, but to do well in exams you need to know the exam format well. Of course, getting past papers might not be so easy depending on where you are and what year you're in.

Don't make perfection your focus. Greatness is far better than perfection, and if you know that you're giving it your all, then you've made yourself great. Seriously, the percentage isn't what's important, it's what you're learning. If you're truly passionate about finding out new information, just do all you can to do that very thing. If it's history, read some extra books or articles related to what you're studying. If it's English, keep a journal of what you've read and the impact it has on your life. Focus on learning, growing, and you might just boost your percentage grades in the process. Grades matter very little in the whole scheme of things, if you're already getting As, you're involved in extracurriculars, and you're a strong writer, you're going to get into a good college, and when you go to college, you're going to learn to specialize in one area that you're really interested in. Spend more time developing those interests than double and triple checking your answers. I'm rambling, but I guess what I'm trying to say is this: I don't remember what I got on my last Physics test, but it certainly wasn't a perfect score. But what I remember most is that I learned so much that I apply in every day life, I understand so much more than I did before, and I can make connections between things that I couldn't before. That's worth more than any percentage point.
Love,
Nevaeh

Hmmm ... this usually happens to me. The best I can think of is to double/triple check your answers to make sure they're right and check the questions to see if you answered it correctly or didn't misread it. There's not much else I can think of, just study and check your answers.

Hope I helped
