Q&A for How to Get on the Honor Roll

It can be really frustrating to be right on the cusp of the grade you want. Try checking in with your teacher to see if revising previous assignments for more credit is a possibility, or if there are any other upcoming assignments that might allow you to raise your grade.

It can be hard to change your mindset about school and grades, but try doing some positive thinking exercises. Try looking up online meditations for positive thinking and how to create a mantra for yourself.

Focus on yourself. Regardless of what your classmate does, you will be on the honor roll as long as you keep up your grades. Ignore her attempts to distract you and put your frustration towards her into your homework.

Find out what qualifies you at your school for honor roll. You'll need to know: Exactly how good do your grades have to be? Are there other requirements (behavior expectations, being on time, etc. ) that could keep you off of honor roll? Keep working hard, and don't give up. You can ask a teacher or counselor what else you need to do to get on honor roll if you are confused. If you think it's a mistake that you aren't on honor roll, talk to the counselor or an administrator at your school.

The answer to this question will vary from person to person. Some people may not need to study very long to master a certain skill, while others may need to practice repeatedly for hours. The bottom line is that you should keep studying until you feel like you know the material well enough to complete your schoolwork.

This depends entirely on your school's requirements for honor roll students. You should find out what your school's specific requirements are and work really hard to improve your grades for the next quarter.

Ignore them. When you hear someone trying to talk to you, ask the teacher to move. If he or she says no, just simply ignore them. People want attention. If you give them attention then they would continue to seek attention. Just ignore!

Anyone can get Honor roll. It is an achievable goal. You may be lacking in confidence or not applying yourself sufficiently to the work needing to be studied. Stick at it, get tutoring help and focus on the end goal.

In that case, you won't make honor roll this term. Start making a plan for how you'll bring your grade up in that class so you can get on the honor roll next time around.

You'd be having trouble taking your notes by either not understanding the concept, simply getting distracted, or the teacher goes slide-by-slide too fast? Or too slow? Just ask the teacher to slow down on the 'slides' if he/she passes by the slides too fast or too slowly. If you're getting distracted, simply ask the teacher if you can move up in front of the classroom (where participation occurs), or if you have a friend and they're bothering you, then tell them to stop distracting you because you want to stay on the task at hand. If you really don't understand the concept, then plan ahead by having after-school sessions with your teacher. Ask a lot of questions too.

Study really hard -- most top students seek a tutor or adult help with whatever subject they're trying to bring up. Always have a healthy lifestyle -- that adds to your aspiration to get a better grade or get on the Honor Roll. Also, do extra activities if you have the time, such as drama club or math clubs, as these can boost up your GPA by being involved in other areas of education that you like or are interested in.

Because a C grade is considered "average," and the honor roll is for exceptional academic performance.

Talk to your teacher, and see if s/he has options to help bring your grade up, like a tutor. You can also see if you can stay after school or come in early before everyone else gets there to concentrate on your studies better.

It depends on your school. The honour role has a specific minimum percentage so if your B grade meets that percentage, then you're on the honour roll. But you should really never settle. Instead, aim higher like actually being the top three or top 10 if things like that are published in your school. You'll know you're doing well when you are acknowledged publicly.

Your teacher won't hate you for not making the honor roll. They may encourage you and push you harder during the next semester, but this is only because they want to see you succeed.

These specifics vary from school to school. Check with your school for the answer. You can ask one of your teachers, a guidance counselor, or other administrator.

If you can't bring up your grades, you may not pass, so it's important that you take some steps to prioritize your studies. Talk with your parents and teacher(s) about your problem with concentration in order to figure out a solution. Ask for a tutor in the subjects where you really struggle. Make sure you have time set aside each day for your homework in a quiet, distraction-free place.

Try studying a bit every day or night and in class, and ask to do chores afterward.

Ask your teacher if there is any way to make up for it, like a make-up test, sheets, extra homework, etc.

In our school, to get on the honor roll you need to get a 3.5 GPA. To get on the principle's list you need to get a 4.0 GPA.

If you believe that you should have been on the honor roll, you might want to ask a teacher or administrator (like your guidance counselor) to explain to you the requirements and why you didn't make it this time around. And then be prepared to try even harder for the next semester.

Generally, students with a grade of D do not make the honor roll. If you are not sure, ask someone about your school's policy.

The best way to ensure you pass every test is to study hard and do the work in class. Pay attention to your teacher, take notes, and spend a lot of time preparing when there is a test coming up.

Try to forget what other people say or think and, instead, focus on achieving the goals you set for yourself. If you want to be on the honor roll, work hard and try to get it. There is nothing wrong with being smart and working hard. Don't be embarrassed.

You keep going and you work on what you think you have lost confidence at. All you have to do is stay true to yourself and you will do it!
