Getting Good Grades in College
Grades are the determinant of college achievement. To excel in every examination, one must study hard and be equipped. The following are techniques, which a student can use to get good grades.
Firstly, remaining organized is not a hard thing. Each scholar has his/her method of staying organized and stay away from distractions. Having a student planning will remind one of the daily tasks and what needs to be accomplished before the day ends. He/she should prioritize essential things. Finish the due homework and make sure you have mastered the concepts in the assignment (O’Brien 6).
Secondly, according to O’Brien (6), a student must use his/her time wisely and capitalize on the endeavor of learning. I believe that a student must accomplish his/her homework daily to get a good review of what they learned in class. Reviewing whatever the teacher taught in class during the day for an hour daily will help the student to remember the concepts during exam time.
The next is that a student must attend every class. The significance of regular class turnout cannot be overstressed. When a student misses classes, he/she misses lectures, class notes, explanations, discussions, and assignments (O’Brien 9). Missing a class makes a big difference, and one cannot make up what they missed. However, they will gain much by attending the classes and can ask relevant questions in case they never understood what was being taught. Skipping lectures also lead to losing scores.

Fourthly, study smart. This means that it is always a good suggestion to start early. Studying for tests or final exams is much more successful when one is not hurrying throughout the material and attempting to cram the entire course at the last minute (O’Brien 18). Similarly, working on a research paper is hard if one saves it for the last minute rush by reading everything at once. Obviating procrastination is an essential first stage of getting good grades.
Another way to get good grades is creating time to talk to the educators throughout office hours. Utilize the professor’s weekly office hours when they are available to scholars with questions. This one-on-one conversation will improve the relations with the teachers, and a student will not feel shy to ask questions (O’Brien 29).
Finally, getting in touch with fellow students who have already passed can assist in giving ideas of what to expect. Compeer teaching exchanges can also be supportive. In all aspects, a student should not give up, but be encouraged to carry out responsibilities and desist from quitting until it is done well.
