Sarah’s Academic Success Story

Part 1

Time management became a key factor in any study skills for college. In high school these were times I was able to study for an hour or two in the night before a test and get away with it. This was not the case in college. I made sure in college I was prepared for each class. Sometimes that meant writing out the terms for the chapter we read (even if when it isn’t required) to better understand them. That way when the midterm or test comes around I was able to understand what I was studying. I started taking excellent notes in class in college. I may have done this in high school but in college I started typing up the motes after class. This helped me remember what I just went over in class then when I had a test one week later I was more likely to remember them as well.

My overall study method: structured. One thing I learned was I had to adapt or change any study method according to the class. I couldn’t study for a religion class to the same way I studied for a finance class. But making sure that I had enough time to study for each class. But making sure I had enough time to study for each class – even if meant carrying a planner with me at all times was a big part of my success.
