Last semester

Last semester, I learned that taking notes on everything will improve your grades by far. Even if you don't think that it matters, or you think that you will never see it on a test, it helps to write it down. Sometimes the information you don't think will matter, ends up being on a test, or relates to another topic that you learn. Writing notes with different colors and highlighters helps me to study the notes, puts the information into categories, and makes note taking a little bit less boring. Taking lots of notes improved all of my grades in the 2nd quarter.

Once I realized how much difference taking notes made, I started doing it all the time. This semester, I hope to make even better grades than last semester, since I started taking lots of notes early on. I can already see improvements in my grades from the beginning of the last quarters, and the beginning of this one. I've made A's on all of my tests and quizzes so far this semester. I hope that taking notes will continue to help me throughout high school.
