Hi guys! So this will officially be my first ever study masterpost. My grades have been going up this year, and I thought of sharing all of my tips and secrets to a 4.0 gpa. Itās definetly not easy, but if you work hard it will eventually happen.
Organization
- Keep a separate binder/folder for each of your classes
- Pencil Case- pens, pencils, highlighters, ruler, sticky notes, erasers
- Macbook/iphone: make sure your devices are organized as well, and everything is easy for you to access
- Start a bullet journal/planner to keep your life together.
- Have notebooks for your lecture and reading notes
- Make sure your handwriting is legible and nice. Practice makes perfect
- Plan your outfits and organize your school bag the night before
- Start homework/assignments 3 weeks early, donāt leave anything on the day of or the day before its due
- Study for 5-7hrs everyday. But good grades arenāt everything. Have a blanced lifestyle, sleep for 8hrs, and go out with your friends.
Lectures
- arrive 10/15m early
- Go to every class
- sit at the front or second row
- I use onenotes to take notes, and will transfer them to notebook format. Do whatever format you like
- Review your notes right after, or the next day
Readings
- finish your readings before each lecture
- i take notes from textbook using studyign method
- try to understand, and if you canāt get it watch videos on youtube
Exams
- Study 2/3 weeks before.
- Create a list of topics you need to study
- Review readings and lecture notes
- Do make additional notes for the main topics
