Tricks on How to Score Good Grades in Accounting

June 22, 2020 by Jarred

 

College is a stressful time for many.

You are probably away from home for the first time in a different social setting, not to mention the pressure to perform.

In college, every grade you get contributes to pulling up your GPA or in dragging it down. This means you have to put your best foot forward in all your courses to graduate with an enviable GPA.

If accounting has been a challenge, this is enough reason for concern.

Here are some tricks to help you gradually improve your accounting scores and edge you closer to graduation and your career dreams.

  1. Have a Positive Attitude

If you don’t consider yourself to be a ”numbers person”, you will probably buy into the myth that accounting and math are complicated.

This is not necessarily true. Like everything else in life, you will need to be committed and to put in some effort to perform well in accounting.

Therefore, look at it as one more thing you will conquer. Have a positive mindset, work at it, and watch your grades improve.

  1. Develop Good Study Habits

Cultivating good study habits will serve you well in and outside of your accounting courses.

One good study habit is moving at pace with your classwork. One way to do this is to ensure you go over topics for your next lesson before the actual lecture. What this does is give you an idea of what to expect as well as highlight any possible problem areas.

With this in mind, you will be keener during the actual lecture to listen and grasp the concepts that were about problematic during your solo study.

After each lecture, go through your notes again and see if there are any areas that need further clarification. Doing this regularly ensures you catch and solve any pain points before they snowball into something bigger.

  1. Know When You are Overwhelmed

It’s easy to fall through the cracks in college. To prevent this, ensure to pay enough attention to yourself and your studies.

Doing this will help you identify burn out, stress, and even to know when you are simply overwhelmed. It also helps to know that being alert to these feelings does not mean you are a terrible student, weak nor lazy.

Once you identify what’s going on internally, then you can seek solutions. Some questions to ask include:

  • What activities can help me alleviate stress?
  • Will getting someone to do my accounting homework online make me feel less overwhelmed?
  • How do I catch up and prevent this from happening again?

These questions help you take stock and manage things in the short term, as you find ways to prevent this from happening again.

  1. Understand the Application

Understanding applications helps you go past the theoretical concept and into understanding real-life applications.

This calls you to delve deeper, and in the process, you internalize information much better. It also makes recall easier because now you are associating a concept to a real-life scenario.

Because you will be giving recommendations based on your accounting knowledge once you enter the workforce, it makes it all the more important to understand applications from as early on as possible.

  1. Collect as Many Points as Possible

Your final accounts grade will be an aggregate of your final exam, CATS, assignments, and so on.

You will, therefore, be doing yourself a disservice if you choose not to give these the attention they deserve during the semester. Yes, the marks they contribute might seem minimal, but every single point counts.

To be on the safe side, give all assignments and tests your best effort and strive to accumulate as many points as possible during the semester.
