Studying

  

Studying can be a pain. One thing you have to remember is to study a little every day. People get very stressed out one day before the test because they have to study the whole chapter in one day. One tip is, after school every day; study the part that you learned in class. When the test comes you already know most of it. Studying for the test should not be as hard. When you keep everything to the last minutes you get stressed out about what to study and not to study. When you study a little every day you are not stressed out the day before the test. Also when you study for the test it is like review because you know most of it.
 

You should never do this. When you don’t know the answer to a question make your best guess but don’t always chose “C”.

Teachers/Professors

 Teachers/professors are a huge aspect to students. Teachers/professors are the ones that control your grade. They control how hard to make homework, quizzes and most importantly test. One thing to remember is not all teachers/professors are the same. 

You can have a mean teacher/professor that gives lots of homework and gives pop quizzes. Also she/he is unreasonable. She/he only wants the work done her/his way and any other way is incorrect.  


Or you can have a very nice teacher/professor who gives out a reasonable number of problems for homework and the test are hard but doable. She/he stays after class to help students that need help. Also has a wide time range to be available.


Whether you have a nice or mean teacher/professor you have to deal with it. One way to find out if your teacher is mean or nice before meeting them on the first day of class is by going on the website ratemyteacher. Before picking your professor you can go on ratemyprofessor and see what other students that had the teacher thought of them. Those websites give a little view of what the teachers/professors are going to be like and how the class is going to be. Another tip is getting on the good side of you teacher/professor. The way to do that is by going to class every day, asking questions when you don’t know something, and turning in all of your homework. Those are just some ways to get a teacher/professor to like you but if you do that regardless if the teacher/professor is mean or nice they will like you if you take my advice.

Exam Week


Exam week is the most stressful week for students. It is the week that we all try to learn as much as possible in very little time. Exam week is stressful because teachers accept us to know everything we learned through out the year. We have to study everything we learned in one week. We have to remember all the important dates that we knew for test 1,2,3, and all the other tests. One good tip is not to freak out. You already know everything. You just have to remember them again. Studying for the exams should not be very scary, it should be a review of the material you already know. The only hard part of exam week is to remember to have breakfast the morning of the test. Another tip is go to bed early and have all you studies done in the evening. Don’t stay up all night studying because as much people want to believe it works it does not. It just makes you more stressed because you have little hours leave before the final and you have lots of studying left. Last tip is study everyday of the week a little. Don’t leave all the studying for the last day before the final. If you study everyday for about 3 hours, on the last day you will know everything. On the morning of the final remember to have breakfast because taking a final or test with an empty stomach it always bad because during the test or final you are thinking of what to eat after the test is over and you don’t pay attention to the test it self. 
This should be you after you are done with exam week. You should be relieved that final are over and you can party now. You should be happy that the worst has gone and the best is to come.
