Study Effectively
If your student received a D or a failing grade in one or more classes, there is still time to catch up in their classes!
Improving class grades is vital to staying on track for graduation! There are effective strategies to help students improve their study habits and grades. Here are just a few of these strategies:
Sleep – a good night's sleep is important! Lack of sleep causes stress and limited mental and physical performance.
Where to Study – in a quiet place, with plenty of light, and sitting at a cleared table or desk.
Breaks – study in one-hour blocks with 50 minutes of work and 10 minutes of break. If you are sitting to study, use your break time to move around!
Ask Questions – let your HQT or HST know if you have any questions.
Review – take time to run through all of the material from your classes to solidify your knowledge of the subjects. Helpful ways of reviewing include: practice testing yourself and teaching others about what you have learned!
Schedule – set a time limit for each subject to keep you on track. Make sure to complete the time every day!
Distractions – put away your phone, turn the TV off, and let your family know that you are working.
