Maybe you are an average（一般的）student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how：
Plan your time carefully.
When planning your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a plan of your time. First, your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don’t forget to set enough time for entertainment（娱乐）. A weekly plan may not work out all your problems, but it will push you to realize what is happening to your time.
Find a good place to study.
Look around the house for a good study place. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a comer of your room, free of everything but study materials（材料）. No game, radio, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate（集中精力）on your subject.
Make good use of your time.
Listen to everything the teacher says. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
Study regularly.
When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher has mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
Develop a good attitude（态度）to tests.
The purpose（目的）of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be overly worried.
There are other ideas that might help you with your studying. You will probably find many others after you have tried these.

也许你是一个普通的学生。也许你认为你再也不会成为尖子。但是事实可能并非如此。只要愿意，每个人都可以学得更好。怎么做呢？

仔细计划你的时间

在计划一周的工作时，先把需要做的事列下来。然后你就可以开始安排时间了。首先留出吃饭，睡觉，穿衣等事项需要的时间。然后选一个固定，方便的时间从事学习。不要忘了留些时间休闲。有了一周计划不等于万事大吉了。但是这样你就会知道你的时间是如何花费的。

找一个合适的学习场所

在家里找一个适于学习的地方。这可以是书桌或房间的一个角落。在那里，除了学习材料以外不要放任何东西。特别是不要有游戏机，收音机和电视机！这样当你坐下学习时，可以专注在你的科目上。

有效利用时间

上课时注意听讲，这样课后的任务就减轻了。上课记笔记，也能帮助你记住老师讲的内容。

定时学习

放学回家后，浏览一下你的笔记。复习老师课上提到的要点。如果你知道明天上课的题目，预习一下那些教材。这样会帮助你明天更好理解课堂内容。如果你坚持做到这些事，科目内容就会变得更有意思，你也会更久地记住它。

正确对待测验

测验的目的是检验你在一个科目中学到了什么。测验能帮助你记住新的知识。如果你不及格，也不是世界末日。所以不要太担心。

还有其他很多方法能帮助你学习。你可以先试试以上这些，然后你也许就会自己有更多好主意了。
