                                        How to succeed at school

                A lot of people struggle at school and don't know how to succeed at it. They would love to have some tips to get better. For others, school is pretty easy because they use the right techniques to succeed and work really hard. Here's some of the best tips and techniques to use to have success at school.

First of all, a student should always be well organised and have the right material to work with. Just the fact of being without a class book or paper sheets, for example, can make a student miss a lot of informations and it's pretty though to get the information back after that. Same thing for being organised, a student should always have an agenda with him so he can remember the works that has do be done, the dates which the works are due and when are the exams. This is the basis of being a student.

Let's now talk about what a student should do when he's in class. The most important thing is to listen carefully to everything the teacher says, everything is gonna be useful for exams, tests or just exercises. Another important thing for a student is to be smart while taking notes. A lot of students try to write everything the teacher says and then get lost because they can't keep up with the teacher's pace. The best way to take notes is by key words and by only writing the important stuff. Plus, when a student doesn't understand something, he should always raise is hand to ask questions, that's something that multiple students have difficulty with and it should be basic, never leave the class with some doubts in something the teacher said.

Finally, the most important part to succeed at school is to study and do the works that are given in class. For that, a student should always do a schedule to preview when he's gonna study. The main goal is to avoid doing all the work at the last minute and being really short in time. Plus, being smart and study or do the work in a calm place where you can't be disturbed by any people or any sound. The best way to study is to do it with some breaks, because when you study for straight hours your brain starts to be a little bit tired and it's a lot more difficult to learn.

To conclude, the best way to succeed at school is to always be organised, listen in class and to do the work given. When a student is not doing one of these things, it makes his semester a lot more difficult that it's suppose to be.
