Academic Success

Laura B’s Academic Success Story

In high school I was one of the good students who didn’t really have to study to be a good student. The information that I took for notes in class usually sunk in enough for me to be able to get by on the tests by simply reviewing the material

Just before the class began. It wasn’t that I didn’t try; I had a 4.0 all through high school, but I never really had to put form much of an effort to get the results that I

wanted to see. In college however that changed. Not only did I start studying and reading books but I began to understand that the tiny facts were just as important as the general ideas. My overall study method: I read what is required and I try to

keep up. I do fall behind; I usually use the reading that I did not get to as an additional study aid. I take good notes in class and actually attend every class that I

can. Sometimes miss class because of volleyball but I make sure that I get the notes from another student. Also for a as chemistry, I do practice problems to help me understand what the material means.
