Students tend to spend a lot of time complaining about how terribly difficult school is – with a large portion of the focus of their complaints directed toward how difficult their tests are – but what many of these students fail to notice (or, at least, what they fail to admit and acknowledge) is that part of the reason their tests are so difficult is because they have failed to learn any of the items being tested! One of the biggest keys to finding success in school as a high school or college student is to understand the importance of (and the approach to) learning the items that are taught instead of trying to “study” and “cram” the things you need to know for the test; when you take this two-step approach to school, you will already know the material on the test, without having to study at all.

The first of the two steps is to pay attention; while this might seem simple and elementary, you will be surprised – once you start to pay attention to this step – to realize how rarely you actually pay attention in class. As soon as you get into the habit of listening in class, taking notes, and keeping your mind engaged, grasping everything that is being taught will become a much easier task.

Along the same lines of simplicity and ease as Step One is Step Two; it is this: study throughout the course – and what this means is that you should spend a little bit of time throughout the week studying all the new things taught in each of courses, making sure you understood and grasped everything new that was presented.

Despite the fact that this all sounds rather simple, many high school and college students struggle in school because they fail to follow these steps; when you simply pay attention in class and study your courses throughout the semester, you will “learn” the knowledge, and this will prevent you from having to “cram” for tests, as all that knowledge will be stored away inside your head already!
