Part 1

http://www.collegeboard.com/student/plan/boost-your-skills/10296.html

Essential Test-Taking Advice:

Try out these strategies while you’re still in high school, and by the time you get to college, you’ll be a test-taking expert.

Before the Test:

Eat well.

Studies show that you need good nutrition to concentrate and perform your best.

Bring the right supplies:

Bring your pencils, erasers, pens, rulers, compasses, calculators or whatever else you need on test day.

Review the whole test before you start:

See how many sections and what types of questions are on the test. Determine how much time to allow for completing each section.

“Continuous effort, not strength or intelligence, is the key to unlocking our potential.”

Liane Cordes

Reflection:

Yes, when you put in the effort day after, day and as the day’s pass you will notice that it is worth it. Smartness doesn’t matter anybody could be that, but you will define who you really are when you put effort. That’s the secret key that will unlock potential.

Part 2

Research with Attitude:

Conduct your research with the attitude of a skeptic. As you examine websites for clues that they’re trustworthy, ask these questions:

·         Who wrote the Web page? If you can’t identify the individual or organization responsible for the information, don’t use it.

·         What are the author’s qualifications for writing on the subject?

·         Has the Article passed through an editorial process designed to ensure quality and accuracy?

·         What is the website’s purpose? Look for motives –like selling products or winning votes –that could result in biased or incomplete information.

·         Is the information accurate? Is it up-to-date?

·         Where did the author get this information?

“The first law of success. . . Is concentration; to bend all the energies to one point, and to go directly to that point, looking neither to the right nor the left.”

William Mathews

Reflection:

The way I’m going to emphasize on this statement by William Mathews, is that it’s mentioning that when you’re handling serious business you always need to pay attention and concentrate on what’s important for you and your future, all hope is in you.

SQ3R

SQ3R=Survey-Question-Read-Recite-Review

Question:

As you survey the text, ask a question for each section. Ask what, why, how, when, who and where questions as they relate to the content. Here’s how you can create questions:

·         Turn the title, headings or subheadings into questions.

·         Rewrite the questions at the end of the chapter or after each subheading in your own words.



Write down your questions. Questions help you pay attention, understand the text better and recall the information more easily later on.


Read:

Read one section of the chapter at a time, actively looking for an answer to your question for that section. Pay attention to bold and italicized text that authors use to make important points.



Be sure to review everything in the section, including tables, graphs and illustrations –these features can communicate an idea more powerfully than written text.

5 Tips for Success

Tips 3-4

Tip 3: Do Research

Literary critics have written vast numbers of analytical and critical pieces on countless books. If you’re having trouble understanding a particular text, do some research and see what knowledgeable sources have to say about it. In addition to increasing your comprehension, you’ll also be showing initiative, something teachers always like to see. Always use legitimate and scholarly sources, not condensed study guides.

Tips 4: Use a Dictionary

Make sure you have access to a dictionary when you’re reading. You can often figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word by using context clues, but sometimes you can’t. Rather than simply skipping over the words you don’t know, take the time to look them up. The results are well worth the effort. Your comprehension will increase greatly, and you’ll build your vocabulary at the same time.

“The Three Don’ts” “–Don’t whine –Don’t complain –Don’t make excuses”

John Wooden


Reflection:

Indeed that John Wooden knew the truth in reality. I think this quote is significant because it pushes you to the limit. Don’t whine because that only thing you win out of that is nothing. An example of a excuse is I’ll do it later or tomorrow. It’s not good to make excuses. Don’t complain because it just considers you as lazy.

Tips 3-5

3. Set Attainable Goals

If you’re having trouble writing a 25-page paper for class because it seems like such a big job, don’t focus on that final number. Break the paper down and consider each section of your paper individually. You can handle any project in small chunks.

4. Find a Social Support Network

Create a group of people around you who want to help you succeed. Mentors can be teachers or family friends who can give you guidance and help you develop new skills. Counselors can help you with planning your courses and starting to explore colleges. You can also reach out to friends and peers who can motivate you by listening and sharing ideas.

5. Acknowledge Your Accomplishments

Give yourself a quick reward when you complete an assignment or task. Take a walk, send an email, and get a snack. Then move on the next project.

“The Three Never” –Never Lie –Never Cheat -Never Steal

John Wooden

Reflection:

By far this is one of the best quotes by John Wooden. I have accomplished many goals, but I did it honorably and honestly. Sure you know I may have gotten away from some small complains but that’s it. I am committed from here on out to do my work with respect. I used to know people who lied, cheated, and stole. They got messed up in the head. But past is past; present is present; and future is future.

5 Tips for Staying Motivated

Tips 1-2

http://www.collegeboard.com/student/plan/boost-your-skills/8454.html

 

To succeed in high school and college, you have to do your best at all times. But sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated, even when you really care about the work you’re doing. Here are five ways to stay on the right track.

1.     Focus on High-Impact Activities

The key to success in school is staying focused on your course work. Make a list to get an overall picture of your workload before you start to tackle any of it. Then, make a plan. Although it’s tempting to do the simplest assignments first, those that take more time and effort to accomplish are probably the ones that you’ll learn the most from.

To determine what your priorities are, rank your assignments in the order of their importance. Then rearrange your time and devote more energy toward those that have the greatest impact on your course work and grades. For example, even though all homework assignments are important, studying for a midterm exam takes priority over writing a paragraph for English class. As you complete each task, think of it as another step on your way to college success.

 

2.     Create New Challenges

Changing you approach can help you stay interested in what you’re doing. If you’ve been given an assignment similar to one you’ve done in the past, think about it in a different way. If you wrote an essay for a creative writing assignment last year, try a poem this time. For book reports, pick a history book instead of another biography.

“Be always sure you’re right, then go ahead.”

-Davy Crockett

Reflection:

Indeed that, this is the number one thing anybody should do but it isn’t like this. Time and time again I have said that choosing the right is always the right thing to do. At any point you think about it in the moment, when you do what’s right there is no need to fear.

Take Control of Homework

So It Doesn’t Control You

Part 2

Keep Things in Perspective

Know how much weight each assignment or test carries, and use your time accordingly. Don’t waste time, but be wise and smart. Doing the most important things first is being wise and smart.

Get More Involved

Keep your mind from wandering by taking notes, underlining sections, discussing topics with others or relating your homework to something you’re studying in another class. Learn actively and not passively. Be anxiously engaged in your studies and you will have a great experience. Demonstrate a good attitude toward home assignments, and you will begin to love doing it.

Organize the Information

People process information in different ways. Some people like to draw pictures or charts to digest information, others prefer to read out loud or make detailed outlines. Try to find the methods that work best for you. Ask your teacher for recommendations if you’re having trouble.

“Character is higher than intellect.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Reflection:

My thought about this quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson is he has a point about character than the human mind. Your character matters most because you have the ability to decide whether if you want live above the line or below the line. A character makes you go far you don’t need intellect to be a success.

Take Control of Homework

Part 1

http://www.collegeboard.com/student/plan/boost-your-skills/121.html

Although very few students love homework, it does serve a purpose. Homework helps you:

·         Reinforce what you’ve learned during the day.

·         Build study habits that are essential in college.

·         Prepare for your classes.

·         Get a sense of progress.

 

Here are some tips to help you deal with homework more efficiently and effectively.

SET the MOOD

Create a good study area with everything you need (for example, a calculator). If you don’t have a quiet place at home, try your school or local library.

KNOW WHERE to BEGIN

Make a list of everything you need to do, and note all deadlines. Do the more difficult assignments first, so you don’t have to face them at the end.

STUDY at the SAME TIME EVERY DAY

Even if you don’t have homework every night, use the time to review notes. If sitting down to work is part of your normal routine, you’ll approach it with less dread. Also, you’ll become a pro at using time productively.

Student Success Statement

“I think it better to do right, even if we suffer in so doing, than to incur the reproach of our consciences and posterity.”

Robert E. Lee

Reflection:

“Choosing the Right is always the right thing to do.” It’s better to think right than wrong. There are many people in this world that have escaped the consequence when they decided wrong, but sorry you will not escape the consequence. I’ll give you an example if you steal from someone at that moment the smart thing to do is to do what’s right. You may suffer a small complain but at least you did it.

 

Note-Taking Strategies

For Review

Once you’ve done all of the above, you’ll find you’ve created your own personalized study guide. Cover the main section of the page and use the key words and questions in the left margin as a quiz.

Stick to It

Review your notes the day you take them and all your notes once a week. That way, you won’t need to study as much when it’s test time. You’ve been doing the work all along. Try out the Cornell system, but if it doesn’t work for you, experiment with other methods. Ask your classmates how they take notes or ask a teacher for advice. Taking good notes requires practice, like any other skill. And the more you work at it now, the more prepared you’ll be to take notes in college.

After class
As soon as class ends, review your notes and fill in any blanks. Underline, highlight and use symbols to sort through the information. If you don’t understand something, get help from your teacher or classmates.
After you’ve reviewed all your notes from class, in the left-hand area of the page written down key words and questions your teacher might ask on a test.
At the bottom of each page, write a summary of the notes. This helps you digest what you’ve learned. It also improves your memory of the material for the long term and for tests down the road.
