Never studied once. I just took notes and paid attention to everything in class. When you take notes take as many as possible, recite the board to your notebook. And as you write it read it in your head. On top of all the notes that you have you now have all the answers to your homework located in your notebook. For math you will have to do something different but similar. Math: When given a formula write it down and put EQ next to it for (equation). When the teacher puts examples on the board write them down and put EX next to it for (example). [b][u]paper should look like this[/u][/b] Eq: X=n-1 Ex: X=6-1 X=5 Ex: X=7-1 X=6 --------------------------------- This sections off your math notes where you can quickly find what you need when you need to use it along with examples to go along with it. I suggest labeling the equations and formulas as well. Good luck [spoiler]if you try hard in school, life after school hours is easy and you will pass.[/spoiler]
