Sarah’s Academic Success Story
Part 2
My test method: I have different
strategies for different types of tests or subject. For me, any type of math is
exceptionally difficult so I had to spend extra time on that. I would go back
through the homework problems focusing on the problems that I had difficulty
on. Many times I would ask the teacher for any additional study materials they
could provide. If it was a class that required memorization or applying
concepts I would create a sort of study guide for myself many times focusing on
what were key focal points in the class. If I knew they were going to be essays
I would try to take the terms and apply them to an example or create different
questions on the concepts focused on throughout the semester.
My time management secret: I always
always always carry a planner with me. I even use different color highlighters
to show what each event on my calendar is for. For example, pink is personal,
yellow is school, orange is work, blue is for appointments, and green is for my
sorority. Although I use white-out frequently, I can see in bright yellow that
if I have that project for finance due Tuesday, I need to start working on it
on [the previous] Wednesday so I can just get it done. My friends have always
been amazed at how early I get things accomplished but that is really all I do.
