Focus On Learning, Not The Grades

When you study, you shouldn’t concentrate on the mark you’re going to get. Focus on the process instead. Learn to enjoy it, and high grades will automatically come to you.

All the students we interviewed have one more study habit: they set learning goals, not performance goals.

Performance goals (e.g., getting an A on the next academic essay assignment) are set by students who want to look smart and prove themselves to others.

Learning goals (e.g., learning ten new Spanish words a day) are set by those who want to develop their skills and master the subject.
