Tracing Paper Sticky Notes Are Such A Clever Idea. Theyre Perfect For Text Books As They Dont Leave Any

Tracing paper sticky notes are such a clever idea. They’re perfect for text books as they don’t leave any marks behind.

this post will consist of more general tips than how to, for instance, study intensively. i’ve linked some other helpful masterposts that’ll cover that more in depth than i will. good luck in all of your classes! you can do it!

there’s always gotta be that one class that’s harder than the rest to beat and maybe even harder just to pass. here are some tips and tricks that i hope can get you by and even exceed your expectations!

the night before:

review any and all material taught before your next class. skim over older notes that you have reviewed more in depth before and really begin to understand the ones from last class or a few before that. 

you can do this by rewriting the notes from the previous class, making flashcards of definitions, or do whatever suits your studying style like walking around and reading notes aloud or making a mind map.

pack your bag! this is a general tip for all your school days but it’s important that you don’t forget anything for this class. one day without your notebook or binder can really set you back.

get a lot of rest. again, another general tip but depending on how early or late in the day your class is, you’re going to want to be energized and focused. 

the morning of:

go through your normal routine with notes close by or flashcards in hand. it’s important for classes like these that you stay on top of things because things can move fast and you don’t want to be stuck on chapter one while the teacher is on chapter six.

a good way to implement this is read your notes while you’re eating breakfast or brushing your teeth. keep your mind active!

drink your tea or coffee, any boost will help. again, you’re going to want to stay focused and not asleep during this new lesson.

give yourself a pep talk! if the teacher is tough or lesson plan is seemingly impossible, let yourself know before you walk in the room that you can do it and everything will be okay.

during class:

stay diligent! if the time seems to be passing slower and slower try to remind yourself of what you need to be doing in that class. motivate yourself to keep going!

take thorough notes. write down as much as possible and if there are powerpoints online, print those out and write your notes next to it of what the teacher doesn’t mention on those slides. 

try to sit close to the middle, a little towards the front. if this is a class with an intimidating teacher, it’s understandable to stay away from the very front. just make sure that you’re in a place where you can pay close attention to what is going on. 

after class:

if you have any questions that didn’t get addressed in class, don’t be afraid to ask the teacher or a star student what something means or how it works. 

stay away from the material for a bit. take a break! you can study later, just don’t let this class consume you.

get in touch with a friend in the class to do the homework with so you both can have someone to help you out if you get stuck on a question.

when receiving a bad grade:

everyone is bound to get that less than satisfactory grade at least once every semester (unless they’re a literal genius) and you’ll definitely get your fair share in a tough class like this one. here are some tips for dealing with it:

know that you can come back from it. check your grades as they are now and make sure you show yourself that you’re not doomed.

talk to a friend who is in the same boat as you and gripe about the test or quiz. it really helps to vent!

go over questions you got wrong if you can and understand how to do them right for the next time around. 

if you can’t access the questions, review the material that the test focused on and go over any weak points. 

improving your grade:

start a study group! chances are you’re not the only one struggling and having two or more other people that can progress with you through the class can really help!

if you’re more of lone wolf, make your own fun! play some games with yourself to liven up the studying and set rewards!

talk to your teacher about what you can do. don’t be afraid to ask for help from them! if you’re really in a pickle, they’ll be able to tell you what you have to do to get yourself out.

do any and all extra credit even if it’s inconvenient or tough to do.
