Getting Ahead by Reading Ahead!

By Marc R Dussault

If you are thinking desperately about how you need to save your grades or you are just looking for that extra little boost that will get you through a long semester, youll find that if you are looking to get good grades and then, wonder of wonders, keep them that you need to think about reading your material prior to the start of class!

It sounds too easy, but in reality, you'll find that just by trying it, you will get a great edge on your classmates, and that you will be able to figure out the new material much more quickly than they can!

Unless we are talking about mathematics, doing your reading well in advance is key to doing good scholarship. If you want to make sure that you are understanding everything that the teacher is talking about, complement your lecture with the text. They are not repeating each other!

When you are trying to make sure that your grades get to a good place and that they are going to stay there, understanding both lecture and text is quite important. Reading ahead will let you figure out the blank spots that the lecture leaves open.

With so many of us in competitive class environments, you will find that reading ahead can give you a head start on a number of things. If there is something that is puzzling you in the text, you will discover that you can ask questions when they are relevant and fresh in your teacher's mind.

If you want a good response from your teacher, asking when he or she is still talking about relevant material is something that can get you a much better answer. You'll also discover that when you want to make sure that you are understanding things more thoroughly that this is what you need to do. You'll get a better picture of the topic that is under discussion, and you'll also realize that what your teacher is saying is much more understandable.

Reading ahead can also help you understand the concepts more thoroughly. You will find that as you read, you will start to get a grasp on what is happening with the information, and then what your teacher says in class later on will further emphasize it.Take some time and think about how much more effective a student you will be if you are looking at getting the right kind of results for your work.
