Tips for doing well in class

[sribeast21]

whats up guys, hope your having a good day. Just wanted to share a couple tips I've gained over the years from myself and friends in doing well in a class. This can be used for a general subject and is just an overall outline.


1. Be friendly with the teacher. Stay after a couple minutes and just talk to them about anything. It may seem like ass-kissing to some of you but its really not a big deal. They like to have students that are outgoing and talk to them too, not robots that sprint out as soon as class ends. And if you're at the border of an A by the end of the quarter, a teacher your on good terms with will have a better inclination to bump your grade up just a bit more than a teacher you don't really talk to.

(protip: don't flirt with your teachers. Its pretty obvious to spot and its creepy as hell. Had this kid in my math class try it, he almost got charged for sexual harrasment)

2. Study every day. I know its hard but it needs to be done. Spend 10 minutes a day so when the test comes, you aren't cramming

3. Pay attention. don't be that guy sleeping in the corner or texting when he thinks people can't see him(trust me, we can). Ask a couple questions, answer some questions, and be engaged with what you're learning. Ask interesting questions, not shit like "whats you're favorite shoe brand". Sometimes try to get the teacher off topic cause it leads to less homework and they open up

4. Do your homework. I know it sucks, but get it done.


All right thats it, if you guys think of any other tips feel free to add below

I'm late to this, but hell.

1. Go to class. Every class. If you're cool with the teacher and you finish all your work, they might let you leave early. A couple of mine did.

2. Sit in the front or close to it. Sitting up front helps you focus like nobody's business. It's ridiculous. If you need to compromise because literally no one is sitting in the front, migrate towards the middle. Don't sit in the back.

3. Look over your notes after school, every day. It takes maybe five minutes per class and it helps form long term memories way better than cramming or studying ever could. If you look over your notes every day, you can study less come test time because you've been "studying" every day.

These are for classes you don't know if you're going to get an A in. If you absolutely know, without a shadow of a doubt, that you're going to get an A in a class, you can bend these in moderation. My regents math class I skipped very rarely, because I knew I was getting an A and my teacher wouldn't do anything. He's also the teacher that let me and a buddy leave early almost every day.

I thought that sitting in the front wouldn't help, but I found that this factor was one of the biggest things that helped me raise my grades.

1 Give your teacher a chance to teach you a subject that (you think) you don't really like/doesn't add anything to your life cause chances are, you will need it later on in your life or it'll contribute to you getting the grades you want to get the life you want.

2 Be genuinely interested in what you're learning
