Study Secrets of Great Students

1. Set Goals

• Write your goals on a piece of paper and post it where you’ll see it every day

• At the end of the day, ask yourself…”Did what I do today help me get closer to reaching my goal?”  If the answer is yes, give yourself a pat on the back and continue your progress tomorrow.  If the answer is no, ask yourself how you will do a better job tomorrow.  Remember, the journey of a 1,000 miles begins with the first step.

2. Plan Your Time

• Use your agenda, a calendar, or a planner

• Write down assignments​

3. Study Every Day

• Read actively—take notes on what you’re reading

• Review notes from class

• Make flashcards for new vocabulary or important dates

• Work on a long-term assignment although there is no homework for that class

4. Be Prepared

• Supplies—Show up with them everyday

• Take out homework and hand in as soon as possible or share via Google Docs as soon as you finish the work
