HOW TO BECOME AN EXCELLENT STUDENT
Being an excellent student has more benefits than just getting good grades. In the short term, it will make you a more appealing college candidate and, in many cases, can earn you some fairly hefty scholarships. Big picture, the skills you learn at school will stick with you for the rest of your life, helping you tackle any problem that comes your way.
BE PREPARED
Take everything you need with you to class. It would be a good idea to take books, folders, pens, pencils, homework, review sheets, highlighters, sticky notes, bookmarks and anything else you need. Make sure you have everything ready every night.
GET ORGANIZED
Staying organized in school is extremely important because if you are organized, you are one step ahead in being successful. A good way to start off is to keep a folder for each subject. By keeping a folder, it means that you put your math papers in your math folder, your Language Arts papers in your Language Arts folder, your science papers in your science folder, and so on. To make this easier, use color codes or label your folders and place them into either your desk or backpack neatly. This way, you will have an easier time searching for your folders and will have more time to review what you have learned yesterday.
If you like, you can also place bookmarks in all of your folders to make them easier to be found when you take your folders home.
PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS
When a teacher is giving a lesson, take notes from their lecture and if you don't understand something, raise your hand and ask questions. The more questions you ask, the smarter you'll get, believe it or not. Taking notes will help you think and help you understand what is being taught more so be sure to take notes even when it is not necessary for the classroom.
The teachers expect you ask questions and form an impression of you based on how willing you are to do so.
Concentrate on staying focused. Keep your eyes on the teacher, keep your ears open, and keep taking notes.
AVOID DISTRACTIONS
Do not distract others and don't be distracted by them. May your friends will be talking or passing comments. Do not give attention there otherwise, you will be distracted.
If friends are distracting you, don't be mean! Just tell them you are working and say that you really want to focus on the teacher and maybe you will talk later during recess or lunch. They'll understand and may even feel the same way themselves.
