You can succeed every day Part 1



You can succeed every day
Part 1
My overall study method: I break up studying over several days and over the course of the evening and day. Cramming never works for me so I try not to do it. I will have longer sessions at night before big tests, but I never stay up much later than normal before tests. I know that if I take the tests tired the next day I will not do as well as if I was rested.
How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: I usually look over the test or paper to see what I did that the teacher did not want. Basically, I do not stress out about grades that much because for me they are not worth getting really upset about. I do well because I know that I know the material. However, if I I do get a bad grade, or one lower than I expected, I make sure that the next time a test is coming I I study even more so that I won’t be surprised by the questions.

NWO soon at hand

 New World Order

I'm pretty sure that many know that the united states of America is trying to ban weapons(fire arms) some say that it's a good idea but they fail to see the big picture, this ban on fire arms is what will pave the road into the New World Order. ignorance has blinded the populous if they do not get together and go against this then I'm afraid all is lost.

“I shall pass through this life but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness I can show, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall never pass this way again.”
-Etienne de Grellet
I believe that this person is trying to say that one only has one life. Also that goodness and kindness should be shown by everyone in their life. This person believed that kindness should be shown right off the bat not at a later time.

How I deal with multiple project tests: when I have more than one test or project, I break up my studying. I will study for one test for 30 minutes or so and then switch to the other one. If there is some part of a project that I know will not take me very long. I will do it when I don’t have much time. If I am in a crunch for time on a specific day, I will study for one test in the morning and the other in the afternoon or at night. By breaking up the studying into different sections, I feel like I get much more done. Cram sessions do not work for me. I need to study something for a shorter period of time more often for it to sink in.

Effective study methods Part 2

My time management secret: my secret is to use time wisely. I know that on certain days I do not have time to run errands or hang out with friends even. Each minute of each day is used for something. One thing that works really well for me is to write everything down. I mean everything. I write down if I am going to email, write letters, or study. It works for me to have a planner that goes by the day and shows me what I am going to do every day. Knowing what I have to do every day helps me plan out my week and my days. If I know that I don’t have time on Tuesday, I will try to get more things done on Monday or Sunday. I plan ahead, especially if I am going to be on the road for volleyball. When I am on the road, I bring my books and read on the bus/plane/hotel room. Missing classes killer to make up from, but if you are upfront with your professors, they are usually nice about having to turn things in late for not being in class.

My test study method: when it comes time to study for the test, I usually start 2-3 days before the test. I go through my notes and make flashcards on what was important for those sections, paying special attention on what the teacher said would be on the test. Once the test is over, I keep the flashcards so that I have them for the next test or the final. Flashcards are a marvelous learning tool. The key ton remembering something is to repeat it numerous time-spaced rehearsal. If you forget something, it is because you haven’t repeated it enough times. Repetition is a law of learning; therefore to learn and remember, to recall, it is mandatory that you repeat over and over the things you desire to learn and remember. You may be thinking, “oh no, repeating something.” You need to get used to it. For example the more you practice a song on the piano, the better you become at playing that song. Learning and remembering is like playing a piano-the more you practice saying it or doing it the better you can remember it. Look now at what you remember. You remember it because you have repeated it numerous times since first being exposed to it. So, practice rehearsing those things you desire to remember, and they will stick with you.
Practice---proficiency---pleasure
The better you remember, the more pleasure you obtain from studying and learning.
