School’s Academic Success does not Guarantee Success in College

Schools Academic 300x225 Schools Academic Success does not Guarantee Success in CollegeThis was pointed out by several studies, at least in Chile, and also the experiences of many young people having been successful in high school, even with high scores on tests of academic selection, then failed to reach acceptable results fairly academic in higher education.

The reasons? The different rates of university studies, which require constant study, where not enough to “be aware of the kind” or “last-minute studying” what works in classrooms in secondary schools. If it joins many students go to live alone by moving from city, many of the time restrictions or even the “look” of adults to their study hours disappears, are delivered to their own responsibility and effort In the case of exceptional students in secondary education, which reached success without effort, is overrated.

What to do?

There are four key, I think, should be considered to address this situation:

a) Planning: Organize your time, bring an agenda to consider the fact and what to do, the urgent and important.

b) Manage time wisely: Do not leave things to the end, everyone knows their learning pace and act accordingly.

c) Choose the proper time and place of study: To feel comfortable, look at the place that facilitates concentration and creativity. Some add that you have to turn off the TV and stop looking at the chat, I’m not so sure, the youth of these times is multimedia, what is important is to have clarala of priorities.

d) Develop social skills, communication and teamwork. Ask classmates and teachers, studying and working in groups, and so on., Tend to be pillars of academic success.

So serious is this distance has the skills and social skills that require school and university, many of education instituciuones top programs are being implemented stress management, study habits and social skills.
Undoubtedly this is something you should consider the secondary education students as well, because change can be very strong if they move some practices “relaxed” to the level of higher education.
