I am ending my first year of college, and I did absolutely horribly. Failing most of my classes. I do great throughout the entire semester, turning in all of my work, and getting Bs on the tests, but then when it comes to the finals, I completely bomb and fail them. I dont think I feel nervous, and I always go into the test thinking that I know the material well because I had studied, and then I see my grades and see that I failed the Final.
In high school I was an A-B student, and always just seemed to know everything when it came to the tests with very little studying. And of course this is dramatically different. This past semester I even took a course that was supposed to improve my study habits, and it didnt help me at all when it came down to taking the final exam. Is there any kind of self help book out there that is specifically aimed at helping college students from bombing?!?!?! I definately need help when it comes to taking finals. Becoming a Master Student was the Text Book for my College Studies class....... Got Anything Else? |

There IS a book that can help you! It's called "Becoming a Master Student" by Dave Ellis. It covers all the bases to help you adjust to student life: time management, scheduling, effective study skills and TEST PREP, and lots, lots more!
This book really helped me get it together when I got to college. Tons of useful info, plus it's clear, concise and easy to read. Check it out. Most college libraries should have it, or you can get it through the InterLibrary Loan program. I ended up buying a copy to keep for reference. Don't give up! You can do this! |
