Sarah’s Academic Story Success Story Part 1


Sarah’s Academic Story Success Story
Part 1
Time management became a key factor in my study skills for college.  In high school, there were times I was able to study for an hour or two the night before a test and get away with it. This was not the case in college. I made sure I was prepared for class. Sometimes that meant writing out the terms for the chapter we read (even when it wasn't required) to better understand them. That way I was able to understand when a test came. In college I started typing up the notes after class. This helped me remember what I went over in class then when I had a test I was more likely to remember as well.
My overall study method: Structured.  One thing I learned was I had to adapt or change my study method according to the class. I couldn't study for a Religion class like a Finance class. But making sure I had enough time to study for each class—even if it meant carrying a planner with me was a big part of my success.
