GOOD TIPS on getting Straight A's [please]?
480041
Here are some tips from my upcoming book called Get Smart!\n\n1) Nothing replaces effort. Most smart kids work hard in school and at home. \n\n2) Communicate with your teacher. Ask him or her what you need to do to get an "A" and tell them that's your goal. Make them give you detailed feedback on your work so that you can make improvements. Participate in class. Sit in the front of class if your teacher lets you. \n\n3) Organize! You probably have an agenda with your assignments. Keep it neat, up to date, and use it every day. Many kids lose points because they lose work or fail to turn it in on time. \n\n4) When you study for tests, first figure out what you know, then concentrate your study time on what you don't know. You want to use your time efficiently.\n\n5) Get help. If you seem to be spinning your wheels or hopelessly lost, ask your teacher, your parents, or another student for help. Your teacher is probably your best source, but oftentimes other smart students and your parents can help you too.\n\nGood luck!\n\nRon Dietel

Get whatever grade you want to get on a test. Your grades effect no one but yourself (unless of course your teacher grades on a curve). \n\nIt's all about you. Are you satisfied with an F-?

Study hard.  If that doesn't work, take up computer hacking and give yourself whatever grades you'd like to have.

I bought an ACT study book, went through it, and it raised my score 3 points from the time i took it without studying or reviewing at all. They have some good tips in them, and they do help as long as you're devoted enough to read it all. \n\nAnd being smart helps too.

Practice taking exams.  A lot of bright people do less well than their academic ability would predict because the have problems, not with the material, but with the exam.  For multiple choice exams, you need to go through the questions at a pretty good pace, put down an answer for each one, but mark the ones you are not sure about.  (Don't leave blanks unless there is a big penalty for guessing.)  Then, go back and look at the marked questions.  For essays, you need to write a brief outline and then plow through it.  Leave room between paragraphs, so if you think of something at the end you can stick it in.  Or, if you have to write a paragraph at the end and add a note as to where it belongs.  Be careful, but don't insist on perfection.  It is better to have 5 logically thought out paragraphs with a few mistakes, than 3 perfect ones that leave your argument unfinished.\nFind as similar an exam as you can and try taking it under as similar a set of circumstances as you can.

Make some good notes, do not just 'read' by making notes you are more likely to absorb the information. Split each subject up into sub-headings so that each element of a subject is broken down into bite-size chunks as opposed to attempting to digest a vast amount of information.\n\nAsk for help if you need it, don't suffer in silence. I failed all my mock exams and was very concerned so I spoke to my tutors who were very helpful and I passed the real exams. Also speak to your follow classmates, they should be able to help you out too or provide support.\n\nGood luck! Overall, just try to understand the material the best you can and don't leave it to the last minute!

Re-write the information in a way that is easy for you to understand...Read it out loud, review it outloud, recite it outloud...\n\nContinuous reinforcement of the same material....read, review, recite.  Making Flashcard Qustions & Answers is a great technique too....read them out loud....hearing it, helps you remember...  people might think you are a bit wacked for talking to yourself outloud, but there will be a HUGE payoff for you!!!\n\n\nAfter barely passing high school in my younger years, I used this technique when I went to college and also throughout my military career to study for HUGE promotion tests....I always got promoted and I graduated with a 3.98 GPA.  Try it!  Good Luck

Does anyone else get A's? Ask them how they do it.  If not, ask the teacher what you need to do to get an A.  But it would be easier to find out from another student.

Hi there,\nThe key to getting good grades is not just working hard; you also have to know how to study and what to study. Everyone has their own way of studying, what works for one person may not work for another. For example I have to study the last couple days before the exam otherwise I won't get the results that I want. Now if you tell anyone this, they will tell you that I'm wrong, but I'm not! I listen and concentrate on what my instructors say in the class but I don't really study during the semester unless it is the night before the exam and IT WORKS FOR ME. One of my classmates however, studies every single night and that works for her. You have to find your own style. u have to study alot, try to really pay attention in class, rightnow im in my freshman year and yeah its pretty tough! so try to study more and go to the tutoring lessons. The other thing is that you have to know what to study. Listen carefully to your teachers during the class. They usually put greater emphasis on the stuff that are going to be on the test. Make sure you take a note of them and know them very well for the test. Setting a high goal is good but if u cant hit it but a grade lower is oso v good. Cos' at least u have tried, dont overworked urself, do u know some people cant even dare to set a goal? This tell, u are already the winner. \n\n=D Good luck! \n\nI hope this helps

When I was in high school, I was a straight A student.  I also got suspended 4 times. Why didn't they expel me? Because I knew how to STUDY SMART.  I was a sh*t of a kid - yet I knew how to work the system.  The key is to:    a) Understand and realise what you are    required to know.    b) Understand your deadlines.     c) MAKE A TIME MANAGEMENT PLAN.    d) Work efficiently - that is, work hard only on the items that are really important - assignments, exams etc.    e)   Stay motivated - constantly remind yourself why you are getting an education.        f) STICK AT IT - you can still have a social life and have fun, but remember your responsibilities and ADHERE TO YOUR TIME MANAGEMENT PLAN.        Anyone can do it - it's just a matter of organisation and targeted action.   Go for it!

I found the best way to study for my exams was to breakdown everything I needed to know into little topics.\n Then I would get a piece of a3 paper and do big spider diagrams for each topic and draw pictures to help me remember. I used to make up little songs and rhymes as well. Sounds stupid but it work. \nOh and when your in your exam a good tip someone once gave me was: read though the whole exam paper, put a tick next to all the questions you definatley know the answer too. Then question marks next to the ones where maybe you know the answer and a cross next to the one you havent a clue. Then go and do all the questions with ticks, by which time you brian is focus and you will probably have remember the maybe (question mark ones) ones so that when you come to the lasts crosses (havent got a clue ones) one you brian is correctly in gear and the crosses will hopefully be question marks if not ticks!! hope that makes sense. good luck

SSAT is not just about being academically sound, but well-rounded with other aspects. Study all the normal subjects, and in your free time read the newspaper and magazines and books. That should help.
