I’m a business student, junior, and so far I have received B’s but still waiting on the rest of my grades. Some of these classes are really demanding in terms of studying and understanding concepts. I really gave it my all this semester but still couldn’t manage A’s.

What can I do to improve? What are your study tips? How do you study? What resources do you use during the semester?

Next semester I’ll be taking a heavier load with more challenging coursework and I really need to know how to succeed! I’m a non traditional, older college student, so this GPA means a lot more to me and my future. I really appreciate your input!

Edit: so far thank you all so much for the responses, I really appreciate the input. I will add that I am a very dedicated student. I never miss any assignments. I am very organized and I always know what assignments are next. I also keep track of my grades. I ask questions in class and I’m involved in class discussion. I studied so much this semester and used a lot of my free time to study. I am good at balancing though, I don’t torture myself and allow myself proper rest and recovery. I always research my professors but you can’t always get the best ones. I am mostly shocked at how much time I gave up this semester studying to only get straight b’s. This is where I am specifically seeking help. Thank you all so much & Happy Christmas Eve :)
