The school year is winding down and it is time for most students to raise their grades up grades up!  There are approximately less than a month left of the 2017-2018 school year. Which means that it is time to get in gear and for everyone to really crack down on studying, finishing projects, and sweet talking teachers into getting some extra credit!

No one wants to take semesters, one of the many ways to not have to take semesters is by having three absences with all A’s or B’s, or by having five absences with all A’s. However, if someone has missed more than five days or have an unexcused absence, they will have to take semesters no matter what. Here are some studying tips to get the grade needed in order to not take semesters. Read the chapter, and the notes some teachers give, but the notes do not always help and may not have all of the same information needed to pass the test. So, the night(s) before the test, read the chapter that the lesson is on, and be more prepared for the test. Taking notes may help, and so does writing down things the teachers says in class or write down the notes that the teacher gives out. Ask the teacher for individual help during activity period or before or after school.

There are many more ways to help understand what is going on in the class, just ask the teacher! But, hopefully these tips will help someone get a better grade in the class that they are struggling to not have to take semesters.
