Question

How do you make good gradesin school when you work full time and go to school full time?

Answer 1

Option one:  Take fewer classes so you can spend more time on each class.

Option two:  Reduce your work hours so you have more time to spend on all the classes.

Option three:  Become more efficient in your study methods.  Find the method that works best for you.  Outlining, defining all terms, answer study questions, use flash card system, read the text aloud while recording and listen to the tape while working if it doesn't interfere with your work.

Option four:  Form a study group and divide up the class work.  A good study group can identify key concepts and may be able to determine the most likely questions that will appear on exams.

Option five:  Become more efficient in your time management.  Develop a time budget by recording how much time you spend with each activity in a day including ALL routine activities.

Answer 2

I did that for the last 2 semesters at a community college and my gpa was a 3.04, I've transferred to a 4-yr college and i'm still working full time. So I'll see how it goes there. In order for you to continue working full-time and going to school full-time it is going to take away most of your free time of hanging out with friends, family, etc.  

Answer 3

You need to be one the lucky few that can.  Most can't.  I have only ever known 2 people to do it successfully - and they were way way smart.  But even then their grades in no way reflected exactly how good they really were.  That was reflected ni the fact they did what so few can.
