Sarah’s Academic Success Story

Part 2

My Test study method: I have different Strategies for different types of tests or subjects. 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 problems that I had extra difficulty on. Many times I would ask the teacher for any additional materials they could provide. If it was a class the 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 throughout the semester.

My time management secret: I always always always carry a planner with me. I even use different color highlights 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 whiteout frequently, I can see in bright yellow if say I have the project for finance due on 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.
