"It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and (to make) unpopular that which is unsound (and not good)."
-Joseph Smith

We're responsible to honestly choose the right and be   good role models to others making other people choose the right and be safe and good, not causing any trouble for themselves and others. It is our to duty to not be unsafe and choosing the wrong, we have to ban that, make it unpopular'. For Example, someone being honest at a store and not stealing.

9. … don’t cram for exams. Successful students know that divided periods of study are more effective than cram sessions, and they practice it.

If there is one thing that study skills specialists agree on, it is that distributed study is better than massed, late night, last-ditch efforts known as cramming. You’ll learn more, remember more, and earn a higher grade by studying in four, one hour a-night sessions for Friday’s exam than studying for four hours straight on Thursday night. Short, concentrated preparatory efforts are more efficient and rewarding than wasteful, inattentive, last moment marathons. Yet, so many students fail to learn this lesson and end up repeating it over and over again until it becomes a wasteful habit. Not too clever huh?

When you cram, you are taking the shortcut, and shortcuts never produce any real worthwhile results. Also, when you take shortcuts, you feel rather rotten knowing that you could have done better but didn’t. Shortcuts cut you short. You can’t plant watermelon seeds and harvest fresh watermelons the next day. It takes time. cramming for a test or project and expecting to make a high score the next day is like planting watermelon seeds and expecting to harvest and eat fresh watermelon the next day. Plus, cramming for a test doesn’t help you academically, so why even do it. Plan ahead, prepare ahead. Give yourself plenty of days  and weeks to prepare for upcoming accountability opportunities.

6. …take good notes. Successful students take notes that are understandable and organized and review them often.


Why put something into your notes you don’t understand? Ask the questions now that are necessary to make your notes meaningful at some later time. A short review of your notes while the material is still fresh on your mind helps you learn more. The more you learn then, the less you’ll have to learn later and less time it will take because you won’t have to include some deciphering time, also. The whole purpose of taking notes is to use them, and use them often. The more you use them, the more they improve.

English, Math, Foreign Language Tips: PRACTICE – especially foreign language. It is hard to succeed in a foreign language class if you are just showing and doing the work. But if you are in your room and look at objects and try to say them in the language you are learning it actually helps. Or if you send a simple text to a friend think about it, can you translate that to German or Spanish? These are the little things that will help.

Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grade in college: Time management and organization are critical key factors to success in college. And never be afraid to go ask your teacher for help. They have office hours for a reason - use them!

Study For Multiple Exams

Part 1

How I Study For Multiple Exams, Deal with Multiple Projects: Really it is my time management that I explained above. If I see I have multiple things due or to study for all at the same time I spread out my time beforehand. For example, if I have a test Monday, and two tests Tuesday then I will study for my Monday test Thursday and part of Friday. Start studying for my next test on the second half of Friday, and part of Saturday, then my second Tuesday test on Saturday as well and part of Sunday. Then Sunday night I can review for my Monday test because I already studied for it. When that test is over I can begin reviewing for the other tests.

My Overall Study Method: I try to break it up over several days or at least two. I got bogged down if I try to pull an all-nighter.  

How I Overcame and Initial Grade: If I received a low grade I probably knew it was coming because I didn’t prepare properly or I didn’t use the right study habit for that class. I usually try to go over what I did wrong and sometime discuss with the teacher what I can do differently on the next exam or what they suggest I do for studying for the next exam.

My Test Study Method: I have different Strategies for different types of tests or subjects. For me, any type of math is exceptionally difficult so I had to spend extra time on that. I would go back through the homework problems focusing on the problems that I had extra difficulty on. Many times I would ask the teacher for additional study materials they could provide. If it was a class that required memorization or applying concepts I would create a sort of study guide for myself many times focusing on what were key focal points in the class. If I knew there were going to be essays I would try to take the terms and apply to an example or create different questions on the concepts focused on throughout the semester.

My Time Management Secret: I always – always carry a planner with me. I even use different color highlighters to show what each event on my calendar is for. For example, pink is personal, yellow is school, orange is work, blue is for appointments, and green is for my sorority. Although I use white-out frequently, I can see in bright yellow that I have that project for finance due on Tuesday, I need to start working on it on [the previous] Wednesday so I can just get it done. My friends have always been amazed at how early I get things accomplished but that is really all I do.

Time management became a key factor in my study skills for college. In high school, there were times I was able to study for an hour or two the night before a test and get away with it. This was not the case in college. I made sure in college I was prepared for each class. Sometimes that meant writing out the terms for the chapter we read (even if when it isn’t required) to better understand them. That way when the midterm or test comes around I was able to understand them. That way when the midterm or test comes around I was able to understand what I was studying. I started taking excellent notes in class in college. I may have done this high school, but in college I started typing up the notes after class. This helped me remember what I just went over in class then when I had a test one week later I was more likely to remember then as well.

My Overall Study Method: Structured. One thing I learned was I had to adapt or change my study method according to the class. I couldn’t study for Religion Class the same way I studied for Finance Class. But making sure I had enough time to study for each class – even if it meant carrying a planner with me at all times was a big part of my success.

My Strategies for Written Assignments: I try to outline before I write because otherwise I forget what I’m supposed to be talking about. I try not to leave them until the last minute because then I will just goof up the work. A lot of times I just write what I feel. Teachers like your opinion and if you can find something from the reading or research that I want others to read; not things that I have to write because the teacher said so.

How I Succeed in Team Projects: Personally, I do not like working on group projects, especially ones that I worked on in high school. However, when it is required to work in a group, usually I try to lead. I like taking the lead because then I know what my grade would be, a good one. I do well in school, I always have and I don’t plan on changing that anytime soon, so when I need to work with people who maybe don’t care as much as I do, or they have more time to waste on things other than the project, I try to be in charge. That way I know that things are going to get done on time and that I am going to get done on time and that I am going to get a good grade. If I am working in a group of people who all want to work, then it is a different story.

My Overall Study Method:
I break up studying over several days and over the course of the evening and day. Cramming never works for me so I try not to do it. I will have longer sessions on nights before big tests, but I never stay up much later than normal before tests. I know that if I take the test tired the next day I will not do as well as if I were rested.

How I’ve overcome an Initial Bad Grade: I usually look over the test or paper to see what I did that the teacher did not want. Basically, I do not stress out about grades that much because for me they are not really worth getting really upset about. I do well because I know that I know the material. However, if I do get a bad grade, or one lower than I expected, I make sure that the next time a test is coming I study even more so that I won’t be surprised by the questions.

How I Deal with Multiple Projects/Tests: When I have more than on 

test or project, I break up my studying. I will study for one test 30 minutes or so and then switch to the other one. If there is some part of the project that I know will not take me very long, I will do it when I don’t have much time. If I am in crunch for time on a specific day, I will study for one test in the morning and the other in the afternoon or night. By breaking up the studying into different sections, I feel like I get much more done. Cram sessions do not work for me. I need to study something for a shorter period of time more often for it to sink in.

My Time Management Secret: My secret is to use time wisely. I know that on certain days I do not have time to run errands or hang out with friends even. Each minute of each day is used for something. One thing that works really well for me is to write everything down. I mean everything. I write down if I’m going to email people, write letters, or study. It works for me to have a planner that goes by the day and shows me what I am going to be every day. Knowing what I have to do every day helps me plan out my week and my days. If I know I don’t have time on Tuesday, I’ll try to get more things done on Monday or Sunday. I plan ahead, especially if I am going to on the road for volleyball. When I am on the road, I bring my books and read on the bus/plane/hotel room. Missing class is killer to make up from, but if you are upfront with the professors, they are usually nice about having to turn in things late or not being in classes.

The First Week was pretty Lame because I basically did nothing at all but watch T.V , Eat , and Sleep. Then I started helping around the House. It was Christmas Eve and my Mom woke me up to help Her. We went to the Store to by my Outfit. I bought a Decent Dress with a Coat. She was Nice enough to buy me some Shoes as Well. At Night We left to my Mom's Boyfriend's Sister's House where His whole Family was. I felt Nice still I felt kind of Sad, like if I were missing something. I asked my Mom if I could visit my Uncle, whom I call 'papito' and lives one house down where my Mom's Boyfriend's Sister lives. i spent about half an hour with Him. I had bought a gift for Him too. I went back where my Mom was. We ate 'pozole', a traditional Mexican soup. At Midnight We all Hugged Each other and later opened our gifts and everyone was smiling and cheering. I was content with my presents. Days Later it was New Year's Eve. We had a Party and I invited my Best Friend Jackie. We had Fun and She Slept Over. It was New Years. Jackie then left when one of my Old Friends came over with Her Family. I wasn't all that Happy that She cam because I had plans with Jackie. But they brought me a Gift which I liked and I did enjoy spending time with Herr, since I did miss Her. She gave me a Book('8 Ways to say I Love My Life'), that Her Mom wrote with other Authors. We watched Movies, Talked, and We took a Nap. I read the section where my old Friend's Mom wrote. It was really Inspirational...

My Test Study Method: When it comes time to study for the test, I usually start 2-3 days before the test. I go through my notes and make flashcards on what was important to those sections, paying special attention to what the teacher said would be on the test if there was a review session. Also, I go through the book and read the inset stories and add to my flashcards, if there are practice problems or online assignments or old tests, I use those to help me study for the test as well. Once the test is over, I keep the flashcards so that I can have them for the next test or the final. Flashcards are a marvelous learning tool. The key to remembering something is to repeat times-spaced rehearsal. If you forget something, it is because you haven’t repeated it enough times for an extended period of time. Repetition is the law of learning; therefore, to learn and remember, to recall, it is mandatory that you repeat over and over the things you desire to learn and remember. You may be thinking, “Oh, no, repeating something.” You need to get used to it. For example, the more you practice a song on the piano, the better you become at playing that song. Learning and remembering is like playing the piano-the more you practice saying or doing it the better you can remember it. Look now at what you remember. You remember it because you have repeated it numerous times since first being exposed to it. So, practice rehearsing those things you desire to remember, and they will stick with you.

Practice à Proficiencyà Pleasure

The better you remember, the more pleasure you obtain from studying and learning.
