Improve your study habits.
Throughout history, almost all of the world’s smartest people have been largely self-taught. Leonardo de Vinci was the greatest painter, engineer, and genius of his time; he invented the helicopter, airplane, tank, and scuba-gear; and his only education was a few years at an art academy. Benjamin Franklin dropped out of school when he was ten, going on to invent several musical instruments, discover electricity, and help found the United States.
There are several benefits to independent study which you might consider.
PLAN your time carefully. When you plan a trip, one of the first things you must do is to make a list of things to take. If you don’t, you are almost certain to leave something important at home. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. Then make a schedule of your time. Decide on a good, regular time for studying. Of course, studying shouldn’t occupy all your free time. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment, hobbies, and maybe just relaxation.
FIND a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space and free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or TV! If you can’t find such a place at home, go to a library where you can study. When you sit down to work, concentrate on the subject!
STUDY regularly. When you get home, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher mentioned in class. Remember really listening in class means less work later. Read any related material in your textbook.
