On today’s episode, Chris talks about ten things students can do to dramatically improve their performance in school.

Chris Buck’s ten tips:

  1. Sit in the front row.
  2. Write down test dates as soon as you know them in your weekly/online planner.
  3. Get a 100% on the first quiz/test/homework assignment for each class.
  4. Make certain that you earn 100% on all “extras” (i.e., Homework, Attendance, Class Participation, etc.).
  5. Complete ALL homework assignments (without looking up the answers).
  6. Take advantage of all extra credit opportunities, even if you got a 100%. You may need those points later.
  7. Challenge a classmate to a contest of who can receive better grades in that class.
  8. Get to know your teacher.
  9. Study PRIOR to the night before the test.
  10. For labs, find the best partner, not necessarily your best friend.

Chris’s key study tip

If you have a test or quiz on Monday, start reviewing on Thursday so you can ask questions on Friday at school!
