Be positive in your studies

Adequate preparation for the examination

Tests and exams should be prepared for. Preparation should start right from the first day in school and not when the exam is near. All notes should be read, important points should be memorized, solutions to the assignments should be practiced, No stone must be left unturned. Notes should not be disposed off after exams but should be kept for future purposes and reference.

Write all tests and exam

All tests, impromptu or not should not be taken with levity. You may not know which one your teacher will use. All forms of tests, class works and examination should be well written. Students should be present to write the examination. If there is any need to be absent, teachers are to be informed and the permit to be absent should be granted. This allows the grace for a make-up test or exam. If the reason for being absent is genuine and if the student in question is known not to be a truant, the teachers may decide to postpone the exam for the student’s sake.

Have a mentor in your career

Students always have those they look up to. They may be their parents, teachers, religious leaders or political leaders. There is a need to move closer to these people for guidance, advice, and encouragement. They play some roles in goal actualization and in career choice.

Do not be discouraged by past failures

One of the keys to success is to rise from pitfalls. After realizing the mistakes of the past, they are to be avoided instead of dwelling on them. Steps should be made to leave the past and focus on the future.

Study well tips

1.Do not be a back bencher Serious students are always seen in the front seats where there is full concentration and no distraction. Back-benchers are labeled by the teachers as the unserious ones and trouble makers. A good student sitting at the back will be implicated by the unserious ones. Teachers focus and pay more attention to those sitting at the front.  If you are sitting at the front, a teacher can easily discover that you don’t understand what he/she is teaching by mere looking at your countenance. Students sitting at the front have access to first hand information and points made by the teachers. They also make good notes and tend to do well in examinations. 2. Class participation You should ask questions in areas that confuse you. Students should not be shy of making contributions. It is better to say the wrong thing and to be corrected than keeping quiet thinking it is right. It is believed that anything said in public cannot be forgotten. A student working t...

5 Simple Tips to Achieve Excellence

1.  Have a Strong Desire for Excellence  Passion is the first but most important step to reaching excellence. Without passion everything is done with only half heart and it will give you only half results. So unless you have a strong desire to achieve your goal, you will never be able to achieve excellence in it. 2.  Make Firm Blueprints Every long term goal you make has to be supported by a solid plan. You can’t just make a goal to win a gold medal at the Olympics and then stop. You have to follow through and break that large long term goal into smaller manageable chunks. So an example of that could be to go the gym every single day. And then you break that down to work out for 3 hours. And then break that down even more and so on. All of this should be a part of your blueprints for excellence. 3.  Believe in Yourself Self-confidence is single handedly on of the most important things you can have in your life. If you believe that...

Tips on how you can take your academic performance up one or more notches

Understand Yourself.  A big part of academic success is having the right mindset. You have to not only believe in yourself, but also know enough about yourself to know how to achieve that success. Take the time to examine your academic strengths and weaknesses and find ways to capitalize on your strengths while overcoming or minimizing your weaknesses. Finally, understand how you learn things best -- your learning style -- and try and find classes and study methods that best utilize the way you learn. Manage Your Courses.  Many students struggle academically, not because they do not have the abilities, but because they simply do not actively manage their courses. You should be an expert on the syllabus of each of your courses, with a strong sense of every major assignment and test -- including expectations, requirements, and due dates. If some of your professors are too vague on their syllabi, take the time to get the detailed information you need to better plan and exe...
