Achieving Academic Success

Academic success isn't just about exams, but a lot of time and attention has been on exam preparation and that is certainly valuable.  The reality is that you have been preparing for your exams every day since the start of the semester back in August. Studying to review the content and make sure that you are confident and prepared is important though.

One of the keys for achieving academic success is trying to pace yourself while eliminating distractions so that you can maintain your focus. There are lots of strategies that can be effective to help eliminate distractions to help you sustain focus on studying. Turning off the tv or your cell phone can be good ideas. For many students the stronger attraction and distraction is on the computer with Facebook or Twitter.
