We all know that education is important. However not everyone knows how to survive in college. There are many different steps a person can take to become an excellent college student.

The first step is to attend class. It is difficult at times to pull yourself out of bed to go to class in the morning. However it is for your own good. If you attend class regularly you will pick up on information that may be on tests and quizzes. Many teachers give special hints of certain things that will be on their tests and if you are not there you will miss out.

The second step is to get to know your professors. This is really important because they may want to help you more if they actually know who you are. Also by getting to know their personality, may give you insight into how they will structure quizzes and tests. For example if you talk to your professor and they tell very elaborate stories without leaving anything out, they may choose very detailed questions. In this case you would know to read your text very carefully and not skip the side paragraphs on the textbook pages.

The next step is to do your homework. This may seem like a given but many people fail classes because they don't do this. Doing homework is a very important part of your classes. Not only does it count as a percentage of your grade but it also helps you understand the class material. This way you can ask questions about things you don't understand. Without doing your homework you wont even know you should be asking these questions.

The next step is study for all tests ahead of time. Many students decide to put off studying for the last minute, such as the day before. If you study ahead of time you won't have to stress out the night before. Also you can get more sleep, which is vital in getting a good grade. By leaving your studying until the last minute you are really compromising your grade. Many times it is impossible to learn all the material in one day.
