1. - Intelligence Some quite intelligent people just need to study, as well as others for whom - it seems - that studying is not their thing. But it is normal to have medium intelligence and the good results are obtained with the adequate motivation that facilitates the effort involved in studying. Think about the reasons you have to study. The more valuable, the better. Without a willingness to study, there is nothing to do ... and the reasons you have to study are decisive.
2. - I have no will It is something that happens to many people and that has to do with the changes that occur in adolescence. Many other things are more fun. But you are playing the future ... in a few years, you decide what you will be the rest of your life ... Some students have repeated courses with good grades ... They have changed, they have a reason. Just as you have it to listen to music, play sports, go with friends ... you must have it, to study. And that motive has to come out of you. Prizes and punishments may be effective, but in the long run, they are not decisive. If you have a will, but you have to exercise it
3. - Study techniques You will have heard or they will have said about you: "this boy does not know how to study". There are ways to learn how to do it, many books, websites, the help of a teacher, your parents. But deep down, everything is common sense. To study you learn by studying and you will see which systems are best for you. If you want to learn something else, read on.
4. - The most basic You need a quiet study place, where everything is at hand, with a comfortable chair and enough light. And no music, no TV. Do not fool yourself, with music you cannot study: you can draw, copy ... but not memorize or concentrate. Do not get up every moment ..., persevere sitting at least 45 minutes. Then rest 5-10 ´and ... continue. And also a schedule. It does not have to be rigid, it must be flexible, but it is normal for secondary school to spend between half an hour and one hour to do homework and three-quarters of one hour to study. If between Monday and Friday you have not obtained 10-12 hours of study, the weekend you have to recover. And something else in exam time. Leave, if you can, for the weekend the tasks that take you the longest: A drawing sheet, a job for a subject. It is a pity that you spend time pretending to study when your head is far away. Stop daydreaming. Take advantage of time and then you can do many other activities.
5. - In class. The notes It's silly to waste time in class. If you take advantage of that time, you will have much advance. If, for some reason, they leave you free time, study, advance homework. The teacher may follow the book: in that case, he takes notes of what he says, of what he insists on. If you give notes, stay tuned and take note in everything you can, with common sense. Underline what he repeats, what he considers to be basic. One way or another, then you will have to review what you have written - you don't need to clean it up - but make the subject clear so that you understand it, now and within a few months. If you have missed class or have incomplete notes, ask a classmate.
6. Memorize In most of the subjects, you will have to study, memorize the contents of the lessons. Do not try to learn something you do not understand; That is why what I told you in the previous point is so important. Each person has their system to set the lessons in memory: read it aloud, review it several times and try to repeat it without looking at the text ... the important thing is that you keep in mind that you do not know a topic if you are not able to explain it And it is very convenient that you study it every day, explained in class. This will be easier for you because you have them "fresh" in your memory and it is better to learn a short text than to face a lot of pages when the times of evaluation arrive.
7. - The exams It is said by teachers that the course is approved in September. There are no excuses: I will study when the exam arrives is a huge mistake. If you study every day when the time comes for the exam you just have to review knowledge already acquired, remember what you already know. If you leave everything to the end, you will end up with your head full of formulas, definitions, dates, etc ... chaos. The exams are of different types: each one must be prepared differently. Auto examined gives good results. Sleep well the night before the exam, or think of taking any pills - you will pay dearly. This way you will avoid nervousness and tiredness. It is also not good to comment with colleagues just before starting the test: you will only be able to convince yourself that you are not well prepared and you will get even more nervous. Read the questions carefully before launching to answer, even make a small scheme even mentally. If possible, answer the easiest questions first and leave the ones you don't know well. This is especially important in problems of mathematics, physics, translations ... Many times you spend all the time you have to do a problem and leave the rest blank. Check the results, the units, the spelling. Do not rush to deliver: use all the time you have.
8. For science students. Problems Although it is difficult to give a common rule, in mathematics, physics, chemistry many tests include problems: from some data you have to find others, using one formula or several. First, you have to choose the right formula, then substitute the variables for the values they give you (The units!) And you will have one or more unknowns to clear. Do it with great care and review the calculations: you will likely be asked for the exact results, and it will not be enough that the solution is well-posed.
9. Despite everything, I don't get good results Courage, everything has a solution in this life! Think about what your failures are as a student, be constant, do not be discouraged ... the results take time to arrive, and the failures serve to gain experience, not to regret to Ask for advice from someone with experience, take a test of study techniques and improve your methods as a student. You may have personal problems that prevent you from concentrating. Accept it and look for a solution, although it is often not easy. Try disconnecting from him when you have to study. You play the future. If you are thinking about a girl all the time, I am almost sure that what you would like most is that you do not think so much and study with profit, to offer you something valuable, to be proud of you.
10. And most importantly There is a Waypoint, which states that "An hour of study is an hour of prayer": this book has many points, an entire chapter, dedicated to the supernatural aspect of the study. You could consider it carefully. Offer your work to God. It may be useful to have a crucifix or an image of the virgin in front.
