Making The Grade
by: Annagail Lynes

‘Here–" I said, handing my mother my progress report as I walked into her room. I braced myself for the inevitably screaming I was sure to hear. "My teacher says you have to sign this." My mother looked at the card, then at me. "How could you be getting a ‘D’ in Earth Science?"

Some students have a natural ability for academics. They receive excellent marks, yet rarely crack open their textbooks. Others have to study night and day to get the same marks. It’s not that some students are smart, and others are dumb. It is a matter of tapping into what study methods work for each student.

Here are seven ways you can study more effectively and improve your grades:

Track Assignments

The first step is to keep track of assignments. Some loose-leaf binders come with school-year or all-year calendars. If you don’t find one you like, consider buying a teachers’ planning calendar from an office supply store. It can be inserted into the front of your binders and used to record assignments. Your teachers may provide you with assignment sheets. These sheets can be slipped in front of the calendar. The day the assignments and tests are announced, work out a study schedule.

Commit To A Regular Time And Place For Homework

You should study every day to continue to make progress. Homework time doesn’t have to be a hassle if you are flexible with your schedule. Some students like to start their homework right after school. With their homework finished, they are free to go out or watch television. Other students prefer to relax first, then do their homework with a fresh perspective. Once you have committed to a homework time, stick to it.

Where you study is as important as setting a regular study time. You may enjoy studying at your bedroom desk or lying on the floor in the living room. No matter where you study, the environment should be noise-free and well-lighted. You should be able to spread out your books and papers. Also make sure you have all the supplies you need within your reach.

Be Conscientious

Every night make sure your homework is done, is correct and is orderly. Neat homework and projects earn higher grades. In the business world, if you make a sloppy presentation, you will lose the client’s account. Also turn your homework in on time.

After the test and assignments are handed back, sit down with them and see where you made mistakes. Why were the errors made and how could you prevent similar errors in the future? Write notes on the assignments and tests. Make a file for the test and notes, for cumulative tests later.

Use Memorization Techniques

In order to remember lists, try inventing a combination of letters (an acronym). Each letter will give you a clue to an idea you need to remember. For example, BRASS is an acronym for how to shoot a rifle–Breath, Relax, Aim, Sight, Squeeze. You could also make up a sentence where the first letter of each word is a hint to what you need to recall. For instance, Dumb Martians Just Sit Nearby Eating Tender Noodles is the phrase to remember the order of the Eight Is Enough children–David, Mary, Joanie, Susan, Nancy, Elizabeth, Tommy, Nicholas.

For remembering names, devise a relationship between the name and the physical characteristics of the person. For example, Shirley Temple might be remembered as having ‘curly’–which rhymes with Shirley–hair around her temples.

When you have an ordered or an unordered list you need to memorize, you can create a story linking the ideas together. The more crazier, the better. If your vocabulary words are success, assistant, cemetery, scrutinize, you might create a story of a successful assistant scrutinizing tombstones in a cemetery, searching for her boss’ grave.

Studying For Tests

Write down a study checklist of what will be covered on the test. Make a list of notes, formulas, ideas and text assignments that you are responsible for.

Create flashcards–put topics or questions on the front and answers on the back. Have a friend, parent or sibling quiz you. Keep running through the flashcards while you brush your teeth, are on the bus, when you are in the restroom and when you are doing chores.

Produce a mock test. One with only the questions and another with only the answers. Hide the answers in a drawer or give them to a parent. Take the test and when completed, compare your responses with the ones on the answer sheet. Keep repeating this process until you know the material backward and forward.

If you want to make studying for a test fun, team up with a friend and play the game show Twenty-One. A parent or sibling should host , reading off the questions. You and your friend compete against each other until one of you reaches twenty-one points.

Avoid Getting Involved In Too Many Activities

If you want to participate in an extracurricular activity, you can reschedule your study time. However, if baseball, ballet or any other activities make you stay up late trying to finish your homework, then you are involved in too many activities.

Play Educational Games

After the homework is finished, pull out a board game. Monopoly encourages mental calculation when counting money and determining moves, and Clue requires logical deductive skills. Try to figure out the measurements when doubling a recipe in the kitchen.

Playing word games with your family or friends can improve spelling skills. Scrabble, anagrams, Wheel of Fortune and word jumbles can teach you to spell new words.

II Timothy 2:15 says to study to show yourself approved unto God.

If you care enough about your grades to take the time to develop conscientious study habits, you receive better marks, learn self-discipline and will have more options when it comes to selecting colleges. No matter what you choose to do in life, you should have a good education to fall back on. Not everything in life comes easy. The key is to make up your mind to work hard for the things you want. And not to let anyone or anything get in your way.

How to Ace Tests Even If You’re NOT a Great Student

A discussion of how to ace tests in college even if you are not a great student…

We ALL have to take tests. From elementary school through college, every student has to take (and pass) exams.
We all know that exams are important. We have always been told by our parents and teachers to work hard in school and get great grades so we can put ourselves in position to get great jobs.

In elementary school, high school, and college, everyone assumes that you have to be born smart in order to get good grades. We all believe that a student with a great GPA is one who was either born smart or studies for hours every day.

In a sense, this is correct. A student who is born smart will obviously do well in school. Also, a student who studies for hours every night will have a better chance of doing well on a test than a student who doesn’t study at all.

Most teachers believe that the only way to pass tests and do well in school is to study notes and textbooks for hours before the test and this is what they teach their students to do.

However, what they fail to teach their students is HOW to take tests.

Studying for a test is one thing, taking a test is a whole new ball game. You can study all you want, but if you don’t know how to take tests, you will NOT do well on them.

I believe that this is the biggest obstacle to most students in college today, who spend hours studying but don’t get the grades they want.

If you want to get great grades in school, you need to learn how to take tests. Test - taking is a skill in itself, and it has to be learnt if you want to become a great student.

Students with the highest GPAs in college are not necessarily the brightest students, but the students who know how to take tests the best. They have the best test - taking skills and know the best test taking tips and strategies.

You need to master test taking if you want to become a great student in college.

Education: What To Do If Your Children Are Scoring Poor Grades?

Are your children scoring poor grades in their studies?

If yes, then do these six things to bring faster improvement in your children…

Education is important for a successful future. Hence it’s natural to feel worried when our children don’t perform well in studies. It’s even more natural to glare, scold and shout at them.

But all these actions don’t really help to improve children’s education. More probably, it will just add to their tensions and problems.

So exactly, what can you do if your children come home with poor report card?

Support. Encourage. Motivate. These are the key words to help children improve their performance.

Also, here are 6 simple education tips to bring faster improvement in your children:

Education Tip 1: Don’t Attach Negative labels

Do not label your children with degrading titles like: "Stupid," "Lazy," and other negative names which create poor self-image. Firmly believe that your children are capable of achieving anything they really desire.

Education Tip 2: Identify Your Children’s Problem

Children who don’t perform well in studies have some problems. These problems can be solved if identified. To identify problems, observe your children closely and ask them questions. Here are examples of some common problems of children:

Complaining about classmates/teachers
Coming from school tired and irritated
Good in one subject but not in another
Slow reading and understanding of study material
Avoiding homework until the last minute
Finding it difficult to interact with other children and adults
Spending time on unimportant activities
Learning little or nothing in class
Problems with eyesight or hearing
Not enthusiastic in going to school
Being disobedient and/or sulky

Once you identify your children’s problem related to education, it will become easy for you to think and find solutions for it.

Education Tip 3: Puff up Your Children’s Self-Confidence

This is one of the best ways to improve your children’s performance. Search for some good study habits or skills of your children and talk about it.

No matter how poorly your children are performing right now, there might be some topic or study skill in which they are good.

For example, your son might be good in spelling, or reading or drawing diagrams. Your daughter might be good in math or biology or in remembering formulas. Think about it and praise your children for their good education skills.

Also, search for some education related achievements of your children in the past and discuss it with them. For example, perhaps your son had got ‘good’ remarks on his science report. Or perhaps your daughter had scored better grades in some subjects last year, or even year before that.

Discuss such past education related success. Remind your children about their achievements, however small it is. This will shift your children’s mental focus on their good study skills and on their ‘education success.’ They will realize that they do have the ability to learn. The power to win.

Tell your children, "If you can learn one thing, you can also learn other things. If you can achieve success once, you can achieve it again." Such words from you will strongly motivate your children to succeed in education.

Education Tip 4: Speak With Their Teacher

Meet your children’s school or college teachers and discuss your children’s performance and education problems with them. Ask them what is wrong with your children, and what you can do to help them improve. Advice and suggestions of teachers will help you immensely.

Education Tip 5: Set Achievable Goals

When children have clear goals in their mind, they usually make efforts to study better. Hence encourage your children to set small and reasonable goals for their studies. For example, if your daughter has scored C grade in math test, she can set a goal to score B grade in next math test. If your son has fallen behind in his History class, then he can set a goal to read two or three history lessons each week, depending upon his speed.

Education Tip 6: Keep Your Children Fit

Encourage your children to get some physical exercise like, running, jogging, skipping, cycling, swimming, etc. Exercise improves blood circulation, digestion, and provides more oxygen to brain. This leads to better learning and memory. Ask your children to exercise everyday, or at least five days a week.

Finally, remember what Edison’s mother did!

Thomas Edison was labeled as "slow learner" by his teachers. But his mother, Nancy Edison, did not accept her son as ‘dull.’ She motivated, encouraged, and taught Edison to learn at his own speed and style. And we all know what Edison went on to achieve in his life as a scientist!

Tips for Returning College Students

Research resources show that mature-aged students face particular issues in making a successful transition to University. Here are some tips for approaches you can take to get you comfortable in the learning environment.

A job well done on making the decision to return to school and attain your degree! Mature age students, also known as adult learners go to school part time because of family and career obligations. Mature age students are generally very passionate about what they are studying and that passion brings a wealth of life experience to the learning environment and that benefits the whole class. They have sound time management and communication skills and they aim to be high achievers and that adds to their level success as a student.

Economic, demographic, and market trends have reshaped the landscape of higher education, particularly for adults. However, the important thing to remember is that learning at higher education is as much about taking control of your learning as it is about attaining your qualification or credentials.

Research resources show that mature-aged students face particular issues in making a successful transition to University. These may be significant other commitments for example family, employment, mortgage etc). If you have been out of school the first semester can be a challenge. Some of the concerns you may have may include: Why do my classmates seem so young; How will they view me? How will I balance study with all my other demands? How will my partner and/or kids cope with me returning to school? I have test anxiety - how should I study? How do I work the computer? Will I be able to afford school? Will I get a raise or promotion after I graduate, or a new job?

Some approaches you can take to get you comfortable in the learning environment are first of all clarifying what is expected of you as a student, connecting with all sources of support that you have access to. Getting to meet other students will create a support network for you must also focus on applying effective time management skills. A big part of being a college student is keeping contact with their professors. Generally, universities will assign you an academic adviser, so be sure to keep in touch with them. Most professors are empathetic of adult learners and are aware of their multiple obligations, but also expect them to be motivated and self driven. Also, manage yourself. I.e. be as organized as you can and set up a calendar and to-do list. While not all learners are the same, there are some basic, consistent styles of learning. Once you’ve identified your style, you can then begin to adjust your study habits to suit your needs.

Keep in mind that time is a valuable resource. Put your school-skills to work. You will be spending a considerable amount of time reading, therefore read up on effective study and research strategies. Take advantage of resources on the Internet. Finally, do not lose yourself in your books! Take some time off at regular intervals. Give yourself at least one day off each week or a few hours a day. Spend time with your family and friends, talk a walk in the park, curl up with a good book or watch an old movie. You will manage any stress, and you’ll be a happier person and do better in school!

Back-to-School success: Support your Child with Feng Shui
by: Vicky White

Fall is almost here in the Northern Hemisphere, and back-to-school energy is everywhere. The malls are full of harried parents and children in tow, in search of the perfect new outfit for the school year.

By using Feng Shui to give them a bedroom makeover you’ll have more impact on your child’s energy, learning and creativity than any new outfit could.

Just as for adults, harmonious energy in a child’s bedroom encourages good study habits, promotes greater success in school and creates well-adjusted children.

Top 10 Feng Shui tips for your child’s success and well-being

Set an intention to co-create a simple and cozy room. Fill it full of symbols representing possibility and imagination. By giving children some control over how their room is decorated, you can help them prepare for decision making later in life.

To find where the various areas of the Bagua are located in your child’s bedroom, see the Bagua Map http://www.LifeDesignStrategies.com/BaguaMap.html

1. Clear the Clutter. Clutter is the biggest issue for children. It will suppress their energy and disrupt their growth.

Remove possessions that they don’t use or care for.

Make a habit of clearing unwanted clothes and toys regularly

Ensure adequate and fun storage for the possessions they choose to keep

Involve even young children in making decisions about what to keep and what to give away

2. Place their bed against a solid wall, as far away from the door as possible and with a view of the door from where they lie. This will increase their sense of security. Consider hanging a curtain to screen the bed from the more active areas of the room.

3. Provide a solid desk and position it to have a view of the door. A small desk facing a wall represents limitations and obstacles, and sitting with their back to the door can be unsettling and make it difficult to concentrate on homework.

4. Create a recognition corner and acknowledge their successes. Honor them with their ribbons, report cards with good marks and other symbols of their achievement. The Fame & Reputation area, at the middle back wall, is the perfect place for this.

5. Remove the TV from their bedrooms. Not only will this remove a source of dangerous electro-magnetic fields (EMFs), but it will help them concentrate on their study and allow them to sleep well. If there’s a computer their room, position it as far from where they sleep as possible to reduce their exposure to EMFs. Store electrical toys outside the bedroom for the same reason.

6. Add plants to increase the presence of healthy chi energy. This is particularly helpful near the computer. The more natural the atmosphere, the easier it will be for your child to feel relaxed.

7. Activate the Wisdom area. The Knowledge & Self Cultivation area (near left corner) can be activated with a lamp, a globe or by hanging a faceted crystal from the ceiling in this area. Anything with earth energy, such as a rock collection, will also energize this area and support learning.

8. Enhance the Helpful People area (near right corner) to ensure support from teachers and mentors. Here, you can place a collection of names and photos of teachers, advisors and anyone else the child trusts to support them, such as grandparents.

9. Display maps and educational artwork to encourage curiosity and imagination. A crystal hung from the ceiling over the head of their bed will balance emotions and increase self-esteem. Rearrange the room and make changes regularly to reflect and support changes in the child.

10. Choose a color using non toxic paint whenever possible.

Blues and greens promote growth, improvement and a positive attitude

Primary colors help stimulate brain functions in very young children

Add darker colors to a white color scheme to settle an overactive child. It’s been found that hyperactive children still need stimulation, so you’ll need to experiment with the balance that works best in each child.

Each child has different needs. Some thrive with lots of stimulation, some in a more tranquil energy. By creating a room for your child that honors who they are and gives them a safe and stimulating environment, you nurture their world of imagination and possibility.

Learning doesn’t stop when formal education ends. Take advantage of the back-to-school energy to ask yourself what skills or knowledge will support you as you move towards your personal or professional goals. Then clear the clutter in the Knowledge & Self-Cultivation area of your office, bedroom and home and place a Feng Shui symbol there.

Maximizing Your Study Time for Better Results
 by: Roger Seip

<<< Go Here Now For The Best Studying System We Have Ever Found! Cuts Your Study Time In Half, Increases Your Test Scores Dramatically (Even Up To 100%!), And Unlocks Your Natural Photographic Memory! >>>

The daily schedule for many young students today could rival that of several top-level executives. With soccer practice, dance, scouts and clarinet lessons taking up much of the evening, when do students get to focus on their studies? Too often students get overwhelmed with the amount of work left over at the end of the day. They look at study time in one big sum and get distracted and exhausted before they even begin. To solve this problem, you may not be able to adjust your child’s schedule, but they can change their study techniques.

Here are 3 study techniques that will help any student maximize their study time.

They should start by separating and segmenting their study time. Break it up into smaller bits. No matter how brilliant you are a concentrated attention span lasts only about 20 minutes. So break your 2 or 4 hours study sessions into groups of 15 or 20 minutes. During the break, stand-up, walk around, grab a bit to eat or something to drink and then get back to the grind for another 15 or 20 minutes. This not only helps create spaced repetition, which is crucial for retention, but helps make study sessions less stressful and daunting.

Another tool to help in maximizing study time is to use random practice. When reviewing lists or concepts don’t go in order. Skip around to force your brain to pull from an entire group of information. This aids in understanding the purpose or meaning behind a concept instead of merely its place in line. The simplest way to implement random practice is through the use of a study partner.

Use a Study Partner. When at all possible, it is very beneficial to study with another student who shares the same educational goals and motivation. A study partner can help identify areas of weakness and ensure that topics don’t get skipped. It’s also beneficial to witness how another student takes in and stores information. For this reason and others, it is better for the study partner to be another student, but parent don’t be afraid to fill this position. The progress gained from working with a partner in general is worth it.

Proper and efficient study techniques will follow a student through all levels of education and learning. Establishing good habits and skill sets, no matter how small or insignificant they may seem at the time, will prove to reap massive rewards in the long run. So while little Johnny and Suzy might need their first day planners before the third grade, don’t let it stop them from becoming the best students they can.

by: Mark Freeman 

College can be tough for anyone. With the Internet, cable television, gaming opportunities everywhere, cell phones - wow, it’s difficult to put life on hold and hit the books. But you need to. You have to, if you want decent grades.

Yes, grades. Wouldn’t it be nice to get some help and improve your grades? Maybe you could you use some tips of on how to study better - for yourself, a friend or loved one? Well check these out and see how you score.

RECORD - First of all, grade a notebook or start a section in one just for monitoring your progress. List the courses you need help with and specific areas in which you need to focus on for improvement. For instance, maybe you to catch up on reading the lessons, interpreting your class notes, completing your assignments, etc. List items for each course.

SEARCH - Next search for tools to help with each item you’ve listed above. Maybe speeding reading would help, so head to the library for a book or video course on how to speed-read. Maybe you could use help from a fellow classmate to make sense out of your notes and to help with your homework. Contact your instructor for a class list and advice on how to get help.

DO IT! - Then put your tools to work. Use a daily planner and make yourself set time aside to catch up on reading, meet with your study buddy, complete your assignments - one step at a time. Don’t give up. If something doesn’t work, go back to the SEARCH step above and find an alternative solution
