The category that I fall into is the one that study really hard but yet my test come out horrible,is could be that when it come to the test I tend to panic, and my head go completely blank like paper and then fail the test.so I will try to RELAX!before taking a test.
The category that I fall into is the one where "People who simply aren't spending enough time studying." The reason why I'm in this category is because I'm a busy person, I have family commitments that prevent me from spending the time needed to be successful. So, I'll to do my best to work harder as I can, and not to worry about the stress that the daily activities can bring in my life.
This is a practice comment. Demonstrating how to leave comments.
The category I fall into is the one that study but don't spend enough time studying. I have a lot work to do after school and math is my least favorite subject. But I need it to graduate so I still study even though I hate doing it. And I will Keep studying especial in college.
The category that I fall into is listening in class. I try and keep up with the demonstrator as hard as I can but I also want to take REALLY GOOD NOTES so that I don't forget anything shes saying. I try and write everything written on the board but I notice I miss out on a couple of things being said by the teacher or questions asked to the teacher that might have come to my advantage.But I'm so focused on what I'm writing that I miss out on key things that explain her reasoning. So, I'm going to still try and take good notes but at the same time stop and listen to the teacher when she is explaining.
The kind of student that I am is the type that studies but does not do well on test. Part of the reason why, is because when it comes done to taking the test...I get nervous and forget all of what i learn. I will try to relax. Probably when I relax, I won't forget everything that i learned.
The type of student I am is the type that doesn't spend enough tie studying. I will commit to studying more and getting better study habits.
The category i fall into is listening into class. Sometimes in class i get bored, and tend to zone out. I find it hard to pay attention sometimes, because i am easily distracted. Also i need to learn to take good notes, so when i do zone out, i have that information readily availabe.
I fall in to the category that i don't have time to study because im busy with football and then i have to come home late and complete homework. This is a hard task that i need to try to handle, because my grades are important.
The category i fall into is the second category. Where I study real hard for a amount of time but I'm not able to understand much. I'm trying to study more often than I do normally and adding a few hours or so when I have the time to understand it more. And hopefully it will help me when I try to work out the problems on an assignment or a test.
I fall into the first category. I do not have completely effective study habits for mathematics class. The strategy I will utilize is the getting a good nights sleep before the test. I commonly find that this is a task that is easier said than done.
I believe I fall into the final category where people simply aren't spending enough time studying. This hard to do when participating in extra curriculum activities. From thus far, I will work hard to manage my time and study for at least 10 minutes a night.
I feel that im definetley a type 1 student. I need to study and take notes a lot more than what i do now. I feel some type of progress will resort.
Well, my study behaviors include just reviewing over my notes every night, and two days before a test I would practice a few problems from my book and I would be set. I would be under the third category because I am too lazy to do my homework or other necessary work required for that "good" grade. To implement this theory into my life I would have to try to get more serious about just getting my work done and finish what I start in my Pre-Cal class.
I fall in the category of students that "simply aren’t spending enough time studying" it is most likely because I have so much on my plate at the moment with my AP classes and extra-curricular activities that studying doesn't seem like a major priority. So in order to better arm myself with mathematical abilities I plan to find a specific time in the day that I can dedicate solely to studying.
I fall into the category of those who just don't spend enough time studying. I usually get distracted, so I'll try harder to focus and not to procrastinate as much as I do now.
The Categories that i fall into are the first and the last one, "do not have good study habits and/or don’t really understand how to study for a math class",and "simply aren’t spending enough time studying." i almost never study for tests or quizzes and i always do poorly, and when i do study i don't do it very well. I will try to do as many study habits as i can but mostly relax before tests and quizzes.
The category I fall into is the people who don't have enough time to study. I fall under this category because I am constantly busy with other classes such as my AP & Honors classes and extra- curricular activities that I ultimately can't find the time to study. How i think I may be able to improve myself is by becoming more organized and smart of how I spend my time. and the times when I'm not busy with other activities, I can study.
I fall into the category in which I do not have good study habits. I am more of a reader person which is why I am doing well in my AP Literature class. However the study habits I use for AP Lit have not been translating well into my math studies. The fact that I don't find math to be very interesting may also be impacting my motivation to study. To remedy my study habits, I am going to try and incorporate some actual practice problems into my studies.
The category that i into is the people that simply don't spend enough time studying. I believe that i don't spend a lot of time studying because i have to many distractions around me. I will try to spend more time studying and try relaxing before a test.
I would fall under the happy with your grade and you are just checking out what he has to say. I always pay attention and practice the problems. I hardly ever study unless it's for a test, and even sometimes for that I don't study. So I suppose I could take a look at my notes every so often just to refresh my memory and make sure I know what I'm doing.
The category that i fall into is the first one where it states students that just don't have good study habits and/or don't really understand how to study for a math class. The reason is because i have never been a good note taker and i don't have good study habits. I get easily distracted and get aggravated and just give up.
Zakiya-
Basically I realized that I need to step up and take more responsibility for all of my actions. It takes a lot more studying to pass pre-cal as well as other subjects and I'm going to start increasing my studying time.

Basically I realized that I need to be more responsible for my actions. Studying is crucial and I need to increase my studying if I want to be successful in not only pre-cal but other courses as well. I'm going to start studying more and taking my courses more seriously.
I believe that i am a part of the third category.I'm always running around doing things and when I'm done I don't feel like doing my homework. If I applied some of these tips to my life and study skills they and my grade would most likely improve.
The category i fall into is i don't take enough time out to study and review class notes. Also when i don't understand something i never raise my hand to tell the teacher i do not understand. I know i must make a bigger effort to contribute time to math. I have to put more time into studying so that i can actually past the test and quizzes
I fall into the category where you study hard but don't do well on exams. I take as many notes as I possibly can, stay focused in class, and pay attention to what the teacher is saying, and I think that I understand it. But either one of two things happens -- I understand the lesson, and something goes wrong when I take quizzes, or I understand the lesson and forget how to do it in just a few days, and I have to come in after class to have it retaught and reviewed. Maybe I need to stay after class more often to confirm my understanding before it comes to the time where I take exams/tests/quizzes etc.
