HOW TO GET GOOD MARKS IN      EXAM
 TOPS AND TRICKS



   1.Stay organized. A lot of people say this, but it really does help! Organizing your locker helps you remember to bring your supplies to class and to your house to do your homework and study.Once every semester or quarter, clean out your locker full of nonsense papers! it only takes a few minutes of your day! Organizing your notes will make them much easier to understand later on. Also, keep your desk/study space tidy, and make sure you have a clean, quiet place to study and do homework that is withdrawn from the main part of the house.

2.Keep a calendar. Whether it's a day planner you carry in your backpack, a calendar on your wall at home, or a to-do list you make at the end of every day, it can help you keep track of when assignments are due and stay organized. At the beginning of the term, when you get a syllabus, write down every test, quiz, and assignment due date. Do this for each class. Every day when you get home from school, check your calendar and see what needs to be done before tomorrow, as well as what's on the horizon for the next few days.

• Try to do your homework immediately after school. Time management is essential. If you're given an assignment that's due next week, don't procrastinate; get started the same day you get the assignment .
• If possible, try to get assignments finished at least 1 whole day before the due date. Most teachers will deduct points for each day your work is late.
• Homework counts for a large portion of your grade. If your teacher has any extra credit assignments, do them! It won't hurt if you try it out. Even if you get some wrong, have confidence that your teachers will still give you some points back.

3.Take notes on everything. For most courses in middle school, high school, and junior/community college, most of what is on the tests and homework will be discussed in the class. If your teacher draws a diagram on the board, copy that down - it can help you remember the information. Don't just copy what they write on the board, either; take extensive notes on everything. Most of the time in middle school, though, the teachers will take it easy and ask you to copy it down or give you specific instructions. Still, if you want to get the best marks, copy it down.

• Notes should be short, and, if possible, get pens with colored ink or scented pencils as it aids the memory. These are useful and fun tricks that help with note taking and studying.
• Write good, legible notes. Colored pens are fun to write with if you want to get more creative with your notes, but use them only for sections of your notes that you feel will be on a test or are important. It makes them stand out. Use highlighters if there's something you need to find easily flipping through your notes, but don't highlight too much text or it destroys the point. 

 4.Keep track of your grades. You won't get a high score if you don't aim for one. Some schools have an online place where you can check your grades whenever you want. Utilize this and make sure that you have a username and password from your teacher. If not, ask your teacher for your grade. You can average it yourself if you're desperate, or you can wait until the next progress report.

 

5.Put homework first. Set yourself goals and make sure you reach them before you go out and party. Having a social life is important, but your grades can affect a lot of your choices for the future. Schedule time each day to study, just as you would schedule dates or parties.

6.Ask for help. If you're not sure what's required for a good grade or are struggling with the coursework, ask your teacher for help. It doesn't have to be a complex question; your teacher is always happy to help you. Ask after class or in an e-mail for assistance. If your teacher is unavailable (i.e. on a vacation), ask the substitute, your parents, friends, or anyone else! Some people seem to think you are stupid if you ask questions, but ignore them. Asking questions will improve your grades and help your understanding.

• If he or she doesn't have time to help you, at least ask for a recommendation on a good tutor.

7.Know how to take a test. These tips can help you score well on your next exam:

• Take the notes and make a study guide. Look in the textbook and put all important ideas and details in your notes.
• Review the study guide. Feel free to write all over it, as most teachers don't ask for it back. Go over it until you feel like you know the material well.
• Make someone test you on the study guide. You can try to sing the question and answer or whatever else you like to do.
• Use memory tricks. If you think you've got the material down, try to do some synthesis with what you know, like writing an essay.
• Do sample problems. Make sure you did it right.
• Ask your teacher if you can do an essay or extra sheet of problems for extra credit. If she says yes, hand it in the next day. If she hands it back before the test, you'll see your mistakes and be able to fix them.
• Review your notes every night, so when the big test comes, remembering what you learned is a snap.
• Invent fun ways to study. Don't study all in one night; study a bit each night. Your brain cannot take in so much information all at once. Make flash cards, have a friend over, or join an after-school homework club if you can for help from a teacher or friend from the same class. You can make a board game to make studying fun and easy, or you can just type up your notes if it makes it easier to read. Do as much as possible to make sure you know the material.
• Relax. If you're fidgety or worried that you'll fail the test, you won't be able to fulfill your complete potential. If you studied for it long enough that you know the information, then you shouldn't be worried about getting a low grade.

8.Pay attention to your instructor's teaching style and use the same method to learn the information. If they write on the blackboard, take notes; if they lecture, listen hard or record the lecture to listen to multiple times. This sounds simple, but many will find it hard to stay focused for an entire class period. Here is where the hard work comes in: staying focused!

9.Get a good night's rest. You need sleep in order to stay focused, and without it, you will have a hard time staying on task and may forget what you just learned.

10.Improve your memory. Give your brain a workout - try some fun puzzle exercises everyday such as crosswords, Sudoku, and other games which are easy enough to for anyone. This will boost your brainpower and you will be able to memorize more information at school.

11.Eat a good, healthy breakfast everyday. It is known that if students eat a good and healthy breakfast every morning, they generally get good grades and are able to focus better in school.

12.Think about your future. Think about it whenever you are in a hard test/quiz. People will see this, and the people will mean something to the rest of your life. The things that you do now, especially the ones that count for your grades, will be important and count for your whole life, career, college, and more. Get good grades, do your homework, and remember, homework isn't actually for "home work." It is for the teachers to know that you know the topic well and for you to get some more practice of what you need. Never slack off on something when it comes to school and think more about the future then the moment you are in during that moment in time. Keep working hard!

13.After reading one line revise it ten times without seeing. It will stay in your mind for a longer time .It is particularly effective when you have less time for studying.

14.Use notecards to help you study. They are a great learning tool. Even the act of just writing them out can help you recall information later on. Once you go through them a few times, make piles of "easy," "medium," and "hard."

15Be calm, Loosen up. Studying for middle school, high school, and even college, should not cause anxiety or depression. We all have goals in life, and if you follow these tips you wont have to face issues like this any longer! hoped this helped :)
