Out of the many study tips and academic strategies that were listed in the student planner, two of these tips worked best for me. One of them was time management. Over the years of my school life, I have been mismanaging my time. During my middle school years up until my junior year of high school, i played so much computer games. Now, I often think to myself, “What if I hadn’t played computer games for that time period? What if I had focused more of my time in studying? Could I have gotten a better grade and go to and Ivy League school?” Well, what’s done is done. I can’t go back to the past and change the fact that I mismanaged my time. Therefore, now that I see the full consequences of mismanaging time, I will start managing time for my benefits.
The second tip that worked best for me is when guessing in a multiple choice exams, do not change answers. I remember the times when I was in high school and taking tests. I also remember that whenever I had a multiple choice exam, and I had to guess a question or two, I would always change the answer I first chose. Then, I would get the question wrong when really, I would have gotten it right if I didn’t change the answer. So, this tip is really important to me because in the future, it might help me get a perfect score on a midterm exam or even a finals exam.
