Learning your A, B, C's


Question Posted Monday September 11 2006, 6:45 pm

I have 3 C's, 2 1 B, and 2 A's. I need help to raise my C's to a higher grade before my parents get a notice.

What are some good study tips?
Also, what is my point average?
Thanks!

I had a math tutor when I was struggling in math a few years ago. It brought my report card grades up from F's and D's in math to A's. I strongly suggest getting a tutor in any subject you're struggling in.


If you're trying to calculate GPA (Grade Point Average):
A= 4 points
B= 3 points
C= 2 points
D= 1 point
F= 0 points
Add up the points for the corresponding letter grade and divide them by how many letter grades there are.

I wasn't planning on answering this question because you already had seven answers but when I saw the answers I decided to help out.

Find a place, either a desk or a table, away from TV's, radios, phones, or a window, this way you'll stay focus.

Read the material, re-read, and highlight important information. You can color code things such as vocab. words, key terms, and essential dates and facts with different color highlighters.

If its a math problem, check all problems over with a calculator if possible.

Go over work done in class and re-read the chapter of your class book to help review all information your teacher may have pointed out. Begin studying for each test or quiz at least three nights before the actual quiz date.

You're brain remembers things in 5 to 10 minute intervals. So every 10 or so minutes, take a small break. Walk down stairs, get a drink, listen to ONE song, get a quick snack, nothing big, 5 minutes tops. Then go back to studying, this way your brain can focus on one thing at a time.

Also, if you don't, keep an agenda, I suggest purchasing one to help you remember everything.
Make sure to write down all class assignments, when projects are due, and when a test or quiz may come up.

If you would like to go that far, you may look for a tutor. If you choose to take that path, you're teacher or school supervisor can give you the best choices for a tutor.

Good Luck! <3

Put the most important things at the beginnging and end of your study session. This is the stff that sticks the most.

As for your GPA, 2 As, 1 B, and 3Cs is a 3.0.

i couldnt tell you what your exact grade point average is, however, your grades fall in the 'average' column. i think that the best study advice i could give someone is to just focus. and definetely- if you dont understand what is being taught- to ASK FOR HELP!!!!! i couldnt stress that enough. also, asking each of your teachers about doing extra creadit would be helpful. not all may offer it, but take what you can get. good luck.

I'm really sorry that I can't help you improve your grades, but you're average is approximately a 2.8.

Idk, what the girl below is talking about.
But, take really good notes!, get good sleep. & Always eat breakfast. Don't get to stressed out, and lookover your notes when studying of course!
Also, pay attention is class.

A study technic is record yourself saying something ((ex. a math problem with the answer)) when you go to sleep... play that over and over again. So when you wake up.. you'll memorize it

I hope I helped!
