<p>So I am extremely grateful to have been accepted to UCLA, but I honestly feel like I will not be able to handle their academics, or college academics in general.
My high school stats:
4.13 UC GPA
27 ACT</p>
<p>No matter how much I study, I can’t seem to consistently ace tests. For example, in AP Bio/AP Calc I’ve been averaging C’s on exams. It really worries me because I really am trying my best. Is this really my highest potential? Averaging C’s on tests?
I’d like to just have your guys’ opinions… if anyone has had this similar experience… or if you guys have any advice for studying techniques. It would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.</p>
<p>If it helps… my daily schedule is pretty much get home at around 5-6… eat, shower. Start HW around 7 and finish at around 10-11. I normally sleep a little before midnight. </p>
<p>You may be a morning person. Do you best studying in the morning rather than at night. You need to figure out your bio-rhythm. To figure that out, try keeping different hours. It may also be that you want to do X as a major, but your real talent is not X, but Y. Taking the basic core courses first year will help sort that out.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that high school is fairly different compared to college, in my belief. In high school, we are given assignments daily and have class daily. The class schedule you have in college may be different, as in you go to class only a few times a week. In my belief, while college induces a greater amount of pressure, their is more of a flexible regiment compared to high school.</p>
<p>If you got into UCLA, I’m sure they saw potential in ur abilities. I recently graduated from UCLA and found that for me studying in 15-5 worked (15 minutes of studying + a 5 minute break like a nap or listening to one of my favorite songs). Other resources:</p>
