~~Adz:Right~~ School doesn’t get easy in fact for most it gets tougher and more challenging each year they enter a new grade or school. Sometimes the work is overwhelming for some students as they try to manage being in a new class, assignments, new classmates and even teachers. Most of the schools in the Federation commenced on Monday, September, 3, and even though at this present time most teachers are preparing students for Independence celebrations for September 19. No one says you still can’t be attentive and studious at school. Here are a few tips below for those who may be feeling a bit of brain drain:
-
Plan ahead. Experts encourage students especially those moving on to secondary schools to get a wall calendar or personal planner. Mark the dates of midterm exams, finals, and other tests. Note the due dates of term papers, essays, SBA’s and other projects as they are assigned. List any other time commitments you have, like basketball practice or play rehearsals. When your calendar starts to fill, learn to say no to additional activities until things calm down.
-
Stay ahead. Try not to fall behind. If you feel yourself falling behind and starting to feel frustrated, let your teachers know. It's better to get help early on than to wait and think you can ace the final if you spend a few nights cramming. Almost everyone struggles with a particular subject or class. If you're having trouble with a particular subject or homework project, ask your teacher for extra help after class. Taking a few minutes to address the problem right away can save time later, and if your teacher knows that you're struggling with something, he or she is likely to be more understanding of the situation. Also let your parents know that you are struggling with a particular subject, they may be able to help you or higher a tutor.
-
Listen up. Paying attention in class can actually pay off in the long run. Experts say that actively listening and taking notes during lectures can make recalling information easier when it comes time to study and remember things.
-
Take notes. If you take notes and review them before class begins (or while studying for an exam), you can ask a teacher to go over anything you don't understand. It can also be helpful to go over notes with a friend after class — as long as you're confident your friend really grasps the material! Learning good note-taking skills in high school also helps put you ahead of the curve in college, when good lecture notes are key to studying and doing well.
