How to perform well in the classroom

1
Make sure you have done your homework and take good, clear notes that you will be able to read later on. Leaving until later what could be done today is asking for trouble and crammed results.Use your time wisely.

2
Show that you are a willing participant and that you are eager to learn. If you do not understand don't be afraid to ask the teacher. When you have something to share, raise your hand and go for it. Never shy to ask. You will never know if you never ask.

3
Read further than the chapter in class. If you want to take the lead in your class you need to work hard. Try to get the overview of what you are going to learn in the class. You will already have the idea of what you are going to learn instead of nothing.

4
Feeling refreshed and awake are perfect studying conditions. Distractions during study time will make your studying less effective. This includes TV, people talking, the radio, and some music. Avoid the distractions and try to focus on your study.

5
Go to school with the attitude to learn! If you are thinking that you will totally fail the test, think again! When you learn something new, you will get smarter every day.
