     Effective study methods part 1
 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 for 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 red the problems or online assignments or old test I use those to help me study for test as well. Once the test is over I keep the flashcards so that I have them for the next test or for the final. Flash cards are a marvelous learning tool. The key to remembering something is to repeat it numerous times spaced rehearsal. If you forget something. It is because you haven’t repeated it enough times for an extended period time. Repetition is a law of learning therefore, 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 biter you become at playing the song. Learning and remerging is like playing the piano the more you practice 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.

                                       Academic success part 2
Laura B.’s Academic Success Story
In high school I was one of the good students who didn’t really have to study to be a good student. The information that I took for notes in class usually stunk in enough for me to be able to get by on the test by simply reviewing the material just before the class began. It wasn’t that I didn’t try, I had a 4.0 all throughout high school, but I never really had to put forth much of an effort to get the result that I wanted to see. In college however, that changed. Not only did I start studying and reading books. But I began to understand that the little tiny facts were just as important as the goral concepts. My overall study method: I do the reading that is required for the classes and I try to keep up. If I do fall behind I usually use the reading that I did not get as an additional study aid. I take good notes in class and actually attend every class that I can. Sometimes with volley its entire tough because we are on the road a lot, but if I do miss class because of volleyball I make sure that I get notes from another student in the class. Also for a subject such as chemistry, I do practice problems to helm me understand what the material means.

                Academic Success part 1
My great academic success: in my principle of marketing class, we had to come up with a new product and sell it. My group ended up with couple supposedly bad students according to our teacher since they were the last ones picked. In the end the helped out more than needed since I was a team leader I assigned them certain pieces of the project that became solely their responsibility. Delegating work always helps since it allows a group member individual work with ought separating the group.
English, math, foreign language tips: Math basically just takes practice. I always tell students to take a blank piece of paper and write everything you know about what you’ve learned or what you’re studying in this class. If you don’t remember everything or start drawing blanks, then you need to study more and review your class notes. Note cards work really well for foreign language. Here are my final words of wisdom for kids who want to get better grades in college; go to class, make friends with people in class just in case your absent and remember that you should want to learn.

 How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade. When receiving a bad grade, I just try to do better on the second exam how I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: When receiving a bad grade, I just try to do better on the second exam and study harder. It’s hard when you have your first test in class and have no idea what to expect. The second one is usually easier since you know what to expect from your teachers.
My strategies for written assignments Start early and make sure that you have proofread. Also, with written assignments, having a timeline planned out can help like by setting a certain number of pages done by a certain day before the paper is due. How I succeed in team projects communication despite your group synergy. Communication is crucial. I remember I ran out of cell phone minutes constantly when working on a group project for my marketing research class it’s really important that everyone is on the same page and getting the same emails. The worst is when two people are working on the same portion of the project and don’t even realize it.
