Here, according to education experts and students themselves are the secrets of superachievers. First, they know how to set priorities. Top students allow no intrusions on study time. Once the books are open or the puter is turned on, phone calls go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks ignored. Study is business, and business es before recreation. Also, good students can study anywhere and everywhere. Claudia Hill, an Arizona State University business professor recalls a crosscountry runner who worked out every day. Hill persuaded him to use his spare time to memorize biology term. Then he posted a list of biology terms on the mirror in the bathroom. He learned a few terms every day while brushing his teeth. Eventually, he scored high on the final examination. Moreover, top students schedule their time well. Study times are strictly a matter of personal preference. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others awake early. Still others study as soon as they e home from school when the work is fresh in their minds. All agreed, however, on the need for consistency. A student says, ―Whatever I was doing, I maintained a certain period of time every day for studying.‖ Another important characteristic of superachievers is that they know hoe to read, According to a book entitled Getting Straight A’s, the secret of good reading is to be ―an active readerone who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the author’s message‖. 1.
