Successful College Student

I have not taken the ACT yet, but the work we did in class raised my example test scores in that short amount of time. The ACT test itself brings monumental opportunities for scholarships and college admissions that getting a good score is essential for anyone planning to attend college, like myself. When I do take the ACT, my scores will be far better because of this class than what they would be if I had not taken it. I am extremely grateful for that, and glad I took the class simply because of the strategies we learned about the ACT. The double pass method was unbelievably useful, as it allowed me to skip the problems I had no idea how to do and complete all the easy ones first. This simple strategy, all by itself, improved each of my test scores by at least 3

This semester has flew by a lot faster than I anticipated. The akron experience has taught me quite a bit that has helped me in many different areas. Being successful in college to me means to organize and manage all the parts of your life so that you are content. College is alot to keep track of and managing this and the rest of your life is the main thing that will keep you going so you are able to take breaks. Without breaks you will get burned out and I learned this pretty fast. I would say I was successful this semester even if my grades weren't exactly where I wanted them I am getting the feel for the whole experience.

The four years I spent in high school were a breeze. I hardly studied and when I did it wasn 't more than an hour. Making all A’s was as easy as pie. I never had to try; however, college was a whole other story. My teachers no longer babied me and I started to struggle to make even a B let alone an A.Student Success has been an eye opening experience that has made me realize I need to step up my game in order to survive college. This class has taught me how to succeed during my years in college. There are many things Student Success showed me that helped me during this first semester, but the four things that were most influential were Time Management, Memory Skills, Test Taking Skills, and Study Skills.

In order to become successful in college, I have taken advantage of the curriculum offered at my public high school by taking rigorous AP courses. I have also utilized an afterschool tutoring program where I am able to have a quiet place to do my homework and help from college tutors. I also use internet resources provided by the College Board and Khan Academy to study for important tests such as the SAT/ACT.

5. Learn to as a leader, encouraging students to learn, do not give them a negative impact.

3. Do not procrastinate because you will only get a bad grade; do not be a perfectionist because it will never be right the first time (Davidson 26).

Another advice for your future freshmen is to try your hardest at the beginning of freshman year. I have learned to ask teachers to help me with my classwork so that I can get a better understanding of the subject. A positive experience that I have gained was the support of my teachers to make sure that I pass the class and be prepared to graduate on time.

I would have to say that the biggest takeaway from this class, was how I learned how to improve my time management. I have to admit that I'm still not the best at handling time, but I'm better then then when I started this class. This class has also helped me not just in the classroom, but in the workforce also. I

Success in college means more to me than just success in the classroom. I think everyone has this perfect perfect idea of what a successful college student looks like – it is the girl walking to class with her big old backpack, and she has accessorized with her black coffee in her hand and her black frame glasses on her face. A successful college student has more than just the studious student look though. Let us take this picture perfect student for example. In order to be successful, she needs to be putting in work outside of the classroom. She needs to attend class, take notes, participate in class, take time to study, and avoid procrastinating. There are going to be times when the aforementioned seem virtually impossible, but every student

I have been a very successful student throughout high school. I am currently a steady 4.0 student and have been for years. My current goal that I have for myself is to maintain my grade point average until I graduate high school in May. As I am currently rated first in my class of over forty students, I hope to be named valedictorian or salutatorian. Throughout the last four years of my life my main goal has been to maintain my straight A average. As I am entering into my senior year, I have been extremely successful in doing so.

Staying in the top ten in my class is another choice I made. By completing assignments on time and in the correct manner, it assures me that I will be ahead of the rest of the class. By being at the top

During the multiple choice portion, we see that students who used the note-taking strategy did better than those who used the 3R strategy and the rereading strategy.

Encouragement, inspiration, and motivation are components that I have retained from this course. There have been times where I felt discouraged and unmotivated about school, work, and other aspects in my life. Some of the lectures in this course have taught me to persevere through difficult situations and to look at unfavorable predicaments in a positive perspective. Most importantly, it showed me why I am alive. My reason why I am alive is that I have a purpose and I am not done accomplishing my goals. Even though this simple concept of life should be something that should be mentioned on a daily basis, but that particular exercise displayed that it is often forgotten about.

This also taught me that it is acceptable to fail, as long as you focus on succeeding the next time. Demonstrated by my later passing grade, I changed my study habits to focus on getting a better grade, and I got the result I was hoping for. Hard work and determination led me to be able to say that I did it; that I
