3. Successful Study Strategies

“If you study to remember, you will forget, but, if you study to understand, you will remember.”

– Unknown

Why do some students earn good grades and others do not? Answers vary. Students with poor grades have said students with good grades are born book smart. Students with good grades answer that studying and hard work got them there.

Despite the stigma of being a “nerd,” it feels good to receive good grades. Take pride in your preparation, take pride in your studying, and take pride in your accomplishments.

Students know many things they need to do in order to achieve good grades – they just don’t always perform them.
