Sarah’s Academic Success Story

Part 1

T

ime management became a key factor in my study skills for college. In high school, there were times I was able to study for an hour or two the night before the test and I was able to get away with it. This was not the case in college. I make sure in college I was prepared for each class. Sometimes that meant writing out the terms for the chapter we read (even when it isn’t required) to better understand them. That way when the midterm or test comes around I was able to understand what I was studying. I started taking excellent notes in class in college. I may have done this in high school, but in college I started typing up the notes after class. They help me remember what I just went over then when I had a test one week later I was more likely to remember then as well.

My overall study method: Structured. One thing I learned was I had to adapt or change my study method according to the class. I couldn’t study for a Religious Class the same way I studied for a Finance class. But making sure I had enough time to study for each class-even if it meant carrying a planner at all times was a big part of my success.
