Are your grades pretty low? Maybe it's the start of school and you're not getting off to a good start. Regardless of your situation, with a little work and determination almost anyone can improve their grades. Read below for helpful tips on how to improve your grades and get the average you've always dreamed of.
Steps
Step 1. From the beginning of school try to create a good study method
This will make your job easier because you will feel like you are maintaining a certain routine. Studying is a key part of being a good student. Study all the textbooks.
Step 2. Resist the urge to copy
Copying an assignment doesn't make you a good student. Being a good student means keeping your eyes on your assignment. Many students get high marks in the tests because they copy but then in the final exam they reach a low score. Some teachers may catch you and give you a 4! Just do your best and you will succeed. Evidence is what creates your average.
Step 3. Work more on your homework, study for the tests, try to find more opportunities to earn additional credits, and make sure you manage everything on time
Do it regardless of what the teacher tells you about your possibilities. Plus, get more involved in class.
Step 4. When you are in high school, you need to manage your time effectively
You will need time and effort to get your grades up. Stop putting off and get to work.
Step 5. Talk about your grades with your teachers
Ask that something is wrong, or that you can do to improve.
- Try to get extra credits. You can also do this through normal homework. If you need to write an essay of at least eight paragraphs, then try to write nine or ten. This way, even if you can only write eight, you will still be satisfied when you finish the task (this is often the case with science homework).
- Some teachers will give you additional points for each project you add to the weekly assignment. Others will do additional tests to get a higher grade. Ask the teacher "How do I get the extra credits to increase my final grade?" And "Will you notify the class later, or at the beginning of the year when the extra credits are awarded?" If they are not assigned at the beginning of the year, you will need to pay attention to your teacher's communications throughout the year.
Step 6. Do your homework without getting distracted
Focus on trying to raise your grades. This doesn't mean that you can't hang out with your friends, or that you can't do any activities until your grades improve, but make sure you focus. This means that if you have to write an essay for Friday you have to try to finish it by Monday or at most Wednesday. Or, if you have homework to do, don't go anywhere until you finish them. As they say, first the duty and then the pleasure.
Step 7. Build good relationships with your classmates
Forming study groups leads to two great advantages. The first is that you can get help from students who understand that topic better than you do. The second is that you can also tutor this way, and answer any questions your peers may have. Teaching others is a great way to improve your memory and increase your knowledge. After all, two brains are better than one!
Step 8. Be responsible
This often means tidying up your notebooks, eliminating anything you don't need, and getting organized. Try to create a binder for each subject in which to enter the various tasks. Or, create a binder at home that you can take with you to class along with others that are required of you! This way you can easily keep track of your homework, and keep track of what you have done and what you still need to do.
Step 9. Create notes with notes on them
Study them every night to be able to improve your grades. Use highlighters and colored pens to make studying more fun! Make sure you number the cards and reshuffle them each time you use them.
Advice
- Always try to participate in class so that the teacher can correct you if you make a mistake and avoid repeating the same mistake in the future.
- Ask for help. If your parents are too busy to help you and you are having a hard time, don't make your life difficult. Teachers hold in-depth courses before and after school. Get involved.
- If your teacher corrects a test or class assignment you participate as well, you may find that you have made a mistake. If it is not done in school, correct it at home.
- Try to understand the concepts by reading, which is the basis, and then practicing with the questions and memorizing the topics you make the most mistakes about. Try to improve yourself more and more to achieve higher grades.
- Talk to your teachers, they are there to help you.
- If you are stuck on a question, ask a friend who knows the subject well to help you or the teacher of that subject. It may help you solve the problem you are stuck on.
- With math you should try to use the calculator after you are done with the problems, to check if you have done everything correctly.
- It may be helpful to record your notes and work on them, and then try to write down everything you have memorized. This will help you identify the things you need to investigate and make you aware of all that you have been able to learn.
- If you are studying math, try to check your answers in your textbook. Do the assignment, and then check the answers. If you find that you have made a mistake, then repeat the exercise until you find the correct answer.
- Start studying in a group with your classmates.
- Take the time to reflect on what you have done, review your notes, close them, copy the questions from your textbook and answer them. Ask your teacher for some additional ways to study in your free time, he may give you advice such as going to the library, in a quiet room, or with a group of friends, or he may tell you which sections are best to study through cards and memorization. or using a notebook and making themes. The teachers are always happy to help you!
Warnings
- Don't throw away the things you need. It is good to ask the teacher first what you should keep or not.
- Do not take homework and classwork lightly. Even if you do a good test, your homework could be worse. Depending on the subject you may get good grades but still fail to pass the course.
