top advice, thx

I suggest creating a weekly schedule, and set out at least 45 minutes every day (or every other day) to study. That’s what helped me get my doctorate in medicine. (But do remember that things may go into different directions, one example would be how I majored in medicine and minored in bar tending and now I’m the sole owner and employee at my bar instead of being a doctor)

Of course, you have to understand that study is very important in life, it gives a good impetus for your future.

if you did not understand ask question

hmm

College or high school or uni?

Id say be careful of not burning out during the end of the year, even with good results some people crumble at the second semester.

Important thing is to keep up all year long!! Keeping up with!! family and friends also help with the mental pressure

Going to echo what Finhawk said earlier; do not aim for an amazing grade in every class, especially ones that do not pertain to your interests. For myself, I aim for at least a 90% in all classes of interest, and 80% for all others. Not setting the expectations too high actually helps me achieve grades even higher than these, because I’m not putting an enormous amount of pressure on grades. It might sound counterintuitive, but I believe a great way to be successful is to be chill about it. Being too high-strung about it creates multiple opportunities to crash down under pressure.

Another thing I’ll say is no matter your level of interest in a class, the teacher makes or breaks it. Be strategic in that. Talk to other students about the teachers, do some googling, get a sense of what people think of them. Keep watch on how many sections of a class is generally offered and how many different teachers usually are teaching them, especially by looking at the past few years of class offerings. To my knowledge, every college has this history recorded somewhere that’s publicly available. If you land in a class where a teacher just isn’t great for you, you can then use the your knowledge of the history of class offerings ot determine if there’s a better teacher out there who will likely teach the class, allowing an opportunity for you to try the class again later.
