How I did it: I worked very hard. I never got behind in my homework its hard to get caught up if you fall behind. Getting help when you need it is good too. I also talked to my teachers a lot to know exactly what I needed to get good grades. Also I established to my teachers and peers that I wasn't only in it for a passing grade, I was serious about getting a good grade but more importantly learning. Read how I did it…
How I did it: In my folder I kept a page for every class, and wrote down the grade I received on every assignment, and kept a running update of my grades in every class in the front of my notebook. Whenever any one looked like it was gonna slip, I put extra time into reading, note-taking, studying, memorizing for that class. I even read extra stuff not assigned by the teacher in order to be able to answer extra stuff on the essay questions. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Always attend class unless you're sick or have an emergency. Get there early enough to pick out a seat where you'll be able to see and hear everything, and be in the instructor's line of sight. Get out paper and two pens or pencils, as well as any assignments or books you'll need so you don't miss anything while looking for them. Put away anything that might distract you. During a lecture, take notes. Write down important words and phrase… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Know in your head that this can be accomplished. Do all your work. Doesn't really matter that its 100% right. Do it at your best ability. Participate in Class. Again don't worry if you get it wrong, you are there to learn like everyone else. ONLY the fact is that you were strong enough and had the courage to raise your hand. And at the end of it all STUDY, even when you dont have a test, really beneficial to your classes Read how I did it…
How I did it: Lots of hard work. I started a study group in each of my classes and met for an hour once a week for each class. I also tried to do every project as soon as it was assigned because submitting it early resulted in feedback therefore higher scores. Read how I did it…

I was so tÃred the day I did this so I am very happy with the result and it won’t affect my grade to much.
simplyash It has been a long time since I've been on!!
I got a D on one of my anatomy tests. I don’t know if I can still pull an A out of the class. I currently have a C+ with 3 quizzes, 4 exams, and my final left. I got an A in two of my other classes that are over with already. My ASL class is still questionable. I think I have a B right now with a test and a quiz left. I have already signed up for my spring classes, A&P 2, Microbiology, and ASL 2. If I can pull an A out of my C+, then there is half the battle!!
kinorkahol will be ok!
I need to study more and take more breaks. Starting in 5 minutes (break time).
mvg on the get that job interview and excellent on the forst book club discussion
g on all the g questions then 1 g+ 1 mvg and one mvg-, I’m quite satisfied. It’s a good ground for the next test
I’ve never really applied myself in school. In fact, in high school i was a straight D student. Skidding by on my ass, always getting great test scores, but never doing the homework.
I want to prove to myself that getting straight A’s isn’t as hard as it seems.
In order to fulfill this goal the A’s will have to be consistent for 1 full year. 3 quarters.
thenewone Might be going parkouring this weekend
In my head, completing this goal is getting all A’s in all of the classes I’m taking for 2 full semesters, or possibly one entire school-year, and the semesters have to be continuous or in a row. I’m sorry that this is starting to sound like a contract. Haha. But it doesn’t have to be one full school-year, it can be the springsemester of my sophomore year, and the autumn-winter semester of my Junior year.
