<p>For all of us who would like to know... please list helpful tips and advice to help us do our best in some of the hardest classes.</p>
<p>Listen in class. It helps beyond belief.</p>
<p>Actually use those "study tips" that some teachers explain at the beginning of the year. </p>
<p>Ummm...... Do the homework. At least most of it.</p>
<p>Hope I helped!

<p>Read the textbook, assigned or not. Take thorough notes on reading and lectures, go over them, rewrite/type them if you need more review, and have a highlighter system.</p>
<p>Make flashcards. Even if you don't use them, writing them out helps a LOT and they're a quick way to reveiw/test yourself.</p>
<p>Do your homework, and extra problems/questions, if that helps.</p>
<p>Be engaged in class. Participate in discussions, and try to get yourself interested in what's going on.</p>
<p>Even if there aren't discussions in class, discuss things with people - class mates, friends, your parents....</p>
<p>Get a tutor if you need one, or ask your teacher for help.</p>
<p>Understand how you're graded.</p>
<p>Read. Just read a lot in general - this improves your writing SO much. Also, learn to diagram sentences. Even if you have all the facts write, (hopefully) you're also graded on how you write, so you want to write well.</p>
<p>do hwk and listen in class</p>
<p>I sprinkle my head with faerie dust each morning before I prance along to school.</p>
<p>Well, aside from the obvious "listen/do your work," become interested in what you're learning, build rapport with your teachers, drink lots of coffee, and create mnemonics for everything. Confidence/outlook definitely plays a huge role...if other people think that you're smart, you'll feel the pressure and rise to the occasion, etc.</p>
