Motivation, Goals, Study Skills, & Testing

Student Success

There are important things you can do to support your success in life. In your educational world there are four areas that should be addressed. These four areas work as building block supporting student success.

YOUR SUCCESS!   


Motivation

    Motivation is a primary force to harness if you want to succeed and it exists within you. By helping you understand your motivations in a basic manner, you can learn to use them to focus on and aid in the achievement of your life goals.      
    Motivation can come from outside or inside yourself. Being able to recognize the source can enable you to control your motivation and maintain your focus on the goal.

Goal setting
    Having a goal on your educational journey is an important item to pack, but the goal you seek must be realistic. Our course can help review the goals you have and offers suggestions on taking a stepping stone approach to achievement. This can produce a success based motivational boost to your focus.
    Educational goals are either short or long term. Short term goals should be supportive of the long term goal you select.
    Building on a firm educational foundation makes it easier to be successful.  

Study Skills
    How you gather and remember information is an individual process but if you do not know what your best educational environment is, you cannot use it to help you reach your goals.
   This section deals with listening, note taking, reading, group study and other practical methods for knowledge attainment.
    Everyone learns a different way; to be successful, you must find what works best for you.

Test Taking
    Instructors, teachers, and employers find it effective to ask for a demonstration of knowledge and/or skills you have acquired, but no one likes to take a test.
    If you have 'butterflies" before or during a test, this section may quell the feeling.
    Learning what to expect from the wording in a test question or eliminating what you know is a wrong answer, even a "best guess" are methods for easing the stress associated with testing.

Remember, it's just a test not the end of the world!
