Hey guys! These are 7 (technically 8) tips on how to get straight A’s! I’m sorry for the mistakes — ONE: the tip “Some Study Methods” should actually be number 7, not number 1 hehe. TWO: in tip number 6, “Doing your homework”, it says ‘always remember tip number 6!’ what I mean is *always remember tip number 5!* STUDYBLRS — reblog this for a possible follow hehe (see tip 3). Anyway this whole thing took me HOURS. Hopefully it helps someone! ily all & good luck!
for everyone still in school/going back to school, don't forget to reblog & like this old gem 😁
Since I’m currently busy preparing for my law school exams, I thought that this would be a great time for me to share some of the tips I have learned over the last five years during my law school journey. If you’re not a law student, you can still use these tips since most would be helpful for any course of study.
1. Create a study plan:
I normally start revising for my exams a month ahead of the time. It is really important that you use your time effectively especially if you have to memorise a lot of content. Make sure you actually stick to your schedule, otherwise you will only end up cramming which can be quite stressful.
2. Do all the recommended readings:
Obviously you have to do the prescribed readings as it normally forms part of the course material but what you should also be doing is the recommended readings (in other words additional reading). I know this is something a lot of students prefer not to do but if you want to really improve your grades and gain a better understanding of the content, do these readings. This may also score you extra marks on your assignments and even might score you a mark or two on your exam.
3. Use flashcards and post-its:
This is just something that has always worked for me especially if I have a lot of content to memorise and I didn’t make sufficient notes throughout the semester. What I would recommend you to do is to divide the work into “chunks” or sections, read each section carefully and attentively. Once you’ve done the readings use post-its to summarise the most important keywords or concepts shortly. Memorise these keywords or concepts and actively read through the material every time you revise that particular section. Use flashcards to summarise difficult content or content you find hard to memorise, summarise it in any way you like or any way that would work best for you. I personally prefer numbering or bullet points because I retain information easier that way.
4. Study actively:
Remind yourself that you are actually currently busy studying and you should actually retain the information you’re currently busy with. This way you kinda keep your mind active and focused. If you continuously remind yourself to remember the work during your study session you will eventually end up remembering it.
5. Note the following when you’re preparing for your exam:
Is there anything thing specific your professor mentioned or referred to as important?
Are there any new or relevant changes in the law system or legislation that you should know about? Make sure you study the relevant case law and legislation in regards to your module.
I normally don’t recommend spotting but in certain law modules or certain courses for that matter, its easy to identify the really important concepts. If you spot something noteworthy, study it. If you feel like content is irrelevant or you don’t need to spend a lot of time on the particular content, then don’t waste your time on it.
6. Work through previous exam papers:
If you can find previous exam papers then they are your new best friend! This is a great way to test your understanding of the content and I would recommend that you close your textbook and try to answer all the questions that way. This will also help you to determine if there’s any work you need to spend a bit more extra time on.
7. Talk to someone:
Well this is a rather strange tip but honestly, find someone willing to listen (like a friend, a boyfriend/girlfriend or a family member, really just anyone) and “teach” them the content you have learned so far. You will be amazed how much you remember just because you retold the content to someone else.
8. Take care of yourself:
This is probably the most important tip:
Eat healthily, drink a lot of water and get enough sleep. Try not to pull all nighters, your brain stores information into “folders” while you sleep which in return makes it easier for you to retain the information the next day.
Study for short periods and take breaks between study sessions. I normally study for 40 - 45 minutes and then take 15 minute breaks. You can study or take a break for a shorter or longer period, whatever works best for you.
Be kind to yourself! It’s okay to feel stressed or overwhelmed don’t make it worse by pressuring yourself. If you feel overwhelmed take a break do something fun or different for a bit just to clear your mind. Remember, you’re trying your best and you can only do that much. You can only control the things you have control over, don’t worry about anything else.
Your focus should be to gain valuable knowledge which will benefit you in the future.
Remember why you started and focus on achieving the goals you have set for yourself.

I hope these tips will help some of you and definitely let me know if they do. If you like these kind of posts also let me know and I might do more posts like this.
Good luck and happy studying! :)
May 15th {22/100}
Day 22 of my 100 day of productivity! My psych exam is in less than 2 days now, so I’ve been trying to get as much studying in as I can. My aim is to get flashcards covering the learning outcomes, for all the levels of analysis done today. Then tomorrow I can make flashcards of the main studies and research that I have to know.
(2:28 pm // 25.04.16) Criminal Law notes. I swear this particular topic will be the death of me, we’ve only seen 3/13 subtopics and my notes are already 21 pages long. Studying for the upcoming test will be tough.
In other news: this semester ends in about a month so I’m getting swamped with tests, essays and seminars. I just had a holiday but I spent it organizing stuff and building IKEA furniture (after roughly 2 months the shipment with my things from Spain finally arrived).
3.03 pm // biology revision - making notes on photosynthesis ♥
23.5.16 // company law… still at it..
Constantly losing focus while you study be frustrating. We will go through some of the top study tips that can allow you to focus and study effectively.
Remind yourself why One of the key things that help us maintain focus no matter what, is by getting really interested in whatever we are doing. So find a way to make your topic interesting, relatable and practical in your life.
Remind yourself that you want to study to expand your worldly knowledge, to graduate, get into a field that you can flourish in, and provide some value to the world with your awesomeness. Also try thinking in metaphors and whatifs. It’s your mind, no one else has access to it, so think of wondrous things to make yourself want to devote the next few hours of your life to the task at hand.

You can try out each step for two days each to see which strategies work best for you.
I hope these tips can help you, and feel free message me if you would like more details for one of the points :)
1,000 followers! thank you all so much. I go back to school this June and I don’t know if I’m excited or not… but do you know what that means? I’m going to be active again! I can’t wait to get my life back on track. talk to you all soon!
well i dont wanna be rude and i know you took hours on doing your thing on how to get straight A's (i dont know how long you have done it, i've just seen it now) but on your first tips you say it will be normal (as if mandatory??? sorry but i read it that way) to have anxiety and stress and to not sleep and isnt rlly any other way? because i've battled my whole life on my anxiety and sleep deprivation because of stress and i dont want to have it again soo..
hi! don't worry I don't think your question was rude :) haha I didn't intend to make it seem like anxiety & stress & all that are "mandatory", I just meant that as a student, in high school or college, hard times will be inevitable. sorry that you took it the wrong way and I hope this answers your question... if not pls dm me!
Happy birthday!!!!!!!
thanks! sorry for the late reply 😅
hello!! your post "how to get straight A's" has had an extremely great influence on me and ive been studying more and being more productive ever since i've read it!! i found out what kind of learning helps me most (which i found out was auditory!!) and whenever i feel lazy or unmotivated i remember the words in the first step on your post, "Know that good grades won't come easy, but don't let that stop you from getting them." i just wanted to say thank you for motivating me to be better! ily!!
thank you so much! I'm so happy you're doing better :) keep up the good work & good luck 💓
Hi! I'd like to ask you a question about note-taking. A lot of studyblrs advice us to rewrite our notes after class. I understand the tip, but every time I try, it fails. I mean, my notes include 40 to 50 pages for each class and I usually have 2 to 3 class a day, starting at 8.30 a.m. and finishing between 6.30 and 8.30 p.m. Rewriting notes thus seems pretty impossible to me. If you have a tip about it, I'm ready to use it, because I'm desperate. Thanks a lot ! :-)
I kind of have the same problem because I have 7 classes a day... I usually rewrite my notes on the weekend if not on the day that I took the notes. :) good luck!
