Trying to boost your GPA is no easy task. It is like a constant bombardment of discipline training, as the slightest slipup could drop your GPA score. Yet despite the endless pit of assignments and exams that make up your GPA, many succeed while others fail. There is no one perfect solution to improving your GPA. People are incredibly diverse in skills and interests, and there will be different methods that work for some people but don’t for others. However, throughout my life I have found solutions that help better improve my GPA. I often found that going to a teacher or professor during office hours helps and can make a great improvement in your GPA. Much of the loss of GPA on a subject is misunderstanding or frustrating at the seemingly impossible, unknown solution to a problem on assignments. Going to the teacher or professor to ask for help can help better tune yourself with the subject and I have found it has helped me understand many questions I otherwise would not have gotten. A secondary method I use is necessary pressure. If you want a new pair of shoes, convince yourself you can only get them if you maintain a GPA, say above 3.5, and you average 2.8. If you can work out a deal with a trusted colleague to go through the reward’s system, the desire for the item or thing granted by achieving the goal can help push you to better commitment to studying, which leads indirectly to better grades and a better GPA. The third method I use is reminders of self-discipline. Oftentimes, attending class every single time makes a difference in your GPA. Most classes have a participation grade or attendance grade. By attending every single class, or participating every time in class, points that would be lost in attendance are not reduced and can make a minor dent in your GPA. Self-discipline can also help with studying, and preparations for assignments which also helps better understand the subject, and therefore your GPA. Of course, there are various methods that I have found have not worked for me. One such method would be listening to music when I’m studying for assignments or doing assignments. I find that I am often distracted by the rhythm of the music and can’t concentrate and overall retain less from my studying than I otherwise would have without music. Music fills the empty space in the brain and doesn’t allow for proper proactive thinking for me. Another method of GPA I tried in the past is asking a friend for help. While similar to a teacher or professor, they typically give the full solution, and it is the equivalent of getting fish from the fishermen, rather than learning how to fish for yourself. I find that it often works out worse for me long term in GPA if I ask a friend for help rather than a professional educator who is experienced in teaching. Over the course of my time in school, these are the methods I’ve used the most, and these are what I found to help me and what hasn’t helped me in boosting my GPA.
