Characteristics of Successful Students

Characteristics of Successful Students

My experience as a teacher, senior assistants and principals at several schools in Malaysia for twenty years shows the success of students in the examination depends entirely on the attitude and their commitment. Students who are diligent showed excellent performance compared to students who have high IQ but not trying to make a revision, not making regular homework and school truancy.

Based on my observations of students who obtained excellent results. They have the characteristics of successful students as described below;

1. Always believe in the potential and capability to be able to book their own success in education. Willing to take responsibility as a student with the hope of religion, race, nation, family and community

2. Giving full attention to the teacher to teach important concepts can be understood clearly and accurate

3. Early preparation for the examination whether or not the monthly tests, term examinations or UPSR, PMR, SPM and STPM.

4. Provide for adequate learning tools such as reference books, training books, stationery, notes brief and other materials related.

5. Timely study that has been designated by the school like to come to school in time and return only when authorized. It will train students to be a very disciplined. When discipline is inculcated in the sudents' lives, the easier for the students to discipline themselves in learning.

6. Getting help teachers or classmates in failing to follow classes on certain reasons. For example, when students sick and unable to attend the class, students should seek the help of friends to get notes of lessons, or get a description of teacher education that has been missed.
