Heya playa, if your grades have been slipping at school and you're afraid
you're gonna fail your next class don't worry,
in this video I'm gonna share four quick ways you can improve your grades fast.
This is The Josh Speaks. You're watching The Josh Speaks.
My name is Josh and every single week I make videos sharing tips ideas and stories teaching
you how to be your best self and the first thing you're going to want to focus on doing here is
identifying the problem. Really think deeply about what it is that you're struggling with. Is it a
particular class? Is it a particular subject? Are there things going on at home that are
distracting you? Is it hard for you to concentrate in class? What is it that's holding you back from
doing well? When you get back that grade from your teacher and see a big fat failing score
it's easy to get discouraged and feel like you just suck at that topic, you didn't study hard
enough, or you're just stupid and that's why you failed. But instead of doing that,
instead of masking it with those reasons really dive deep into what specifically held you back
from accomplishing what you wanted here. What prevented you from actually studying harder or
actually learning the material or actually being able to focus on the topic at all. The second
step you're going to want to follow if you need to improve your grades fast is to find a topic tutor.
Look sitting there and studying and trying to make sense of the material is good but having someone
that specializes in it that can directly teach you what you don't understand is going to be better.
Sometimes it can feel a bit overwhelming to try to find a tutor but it's a simple Google search away.
There's tutors that operate in your local area, there's tutors that you can work with online the
fastest way to improve your grades is to have someone sit down and teach you the things that
you don't know. Instead of trying to make sense of your teacher who you may just not even understand
their teaching style, have someone that can work directly with you to improve those grades.
Now in some cases, you may need to ask your parents if it's okay and they may come back
saying "just study harder" but if you really want to improve your grades it's important to
make the case to them that this is the best way to do it so you don't fail that class. The third step
to improving your grades isn't going to start off fast but as you do it more and more you're
going to get quicker and quicker at doing it and that's simply to study less but do it more often.
A lot of times when it comes to studying people like to cram in as much as they can. It'll be the
night before an exam and you think somehow you'll be able to cram 20 pages of notes,
some of them from weeks and weeks ago into your memory so you'll be ready for tomorrow's test but
instead what you should be using is what I call "The Snowball Effect". The Snowball Effect works
like this, you review the class notes from that day later that night. Then the next time you have
that class you review that day's notes plus the previous class notes. Then on the third day you
review the first two classes notes again and you keep doing this every single time you have that
class till the point where you have that test and you reread all the notes every single time you've
taken new ones. But by the time you get to the end, you'll have read those first initial notes
going up to the most recent ones so often that you'll just be able to breeze through them you
won't have to spend a lot of thought, time, and energy trying to understand them because you've
been doing that all along. Trust me on this this is a super easy hack for studying that anyone can
do. All it takes is a little upfront work and time but by the time that you get to your test,
man, that snowball is going to be rolling down the hill so quickly you'll have understood all
the past materials so well you'll be ready for your exam and you won't fail that class.
And the fourth quick way to improve your grades is to catch yourself as soon as you start to
fall into that self-doubt spiral. We've all been there before, you fail an exam you're
about to not pass the class, and you feel like you're worthless you're done, you're stupid.
Push all those negative thoughts aside because here's the truth. Your worth isn't defined by
your grades. Your success doesn't determine your value as a person. You bring so much more to the
table than that stupid little grade on the top of your paper. And all that grade shows is how well
you understood the topic that's it. So, the sooner you can catch yourself before you fall into that
negative thought spiral the easier it's going to be for you to find an active solution. Maybe that
is finding a tutor, maybe that is following the snowball studying method, or maybe that's checking
out some of the other ways to improve your grades that I mentioned in this video over here. I think
this video is going to be super helpful for you in actually picking up your grades, doing better
in your class, and feeling more confident in yourself. Thank you to all my patrons that support
the channel listed over here and I'll catch you guys next time. As always, love and peace.
