Effect of Studying on Students? Grades

Paper Summary:

The advent of companies like Sylvan and Kumon learning centers have advanced the idea that grades are not important. With colleges and universities becoming more and more competitive as far as their entry requirements, it is not possible for the average student who wishes to succeed and get into the career of their choice, to simply ride along and hope for the best. The paper shows that on top of the requirement for students to have extra-curricular activities and community involvement, SAT scores and excellent grades are essential for the motivated student to even hope to be accepted to the college of their choice. But what can the average student do to improve his or her grades. Is it necessary for these students to attend learning centers like Sylvan and Kumon? Or can a student, with the sufficient amount of study time, attain the grades he or she needs to succeed? This paper argues that students who spend more time studying will have higher grades than those students who spend only moderate or little amounts of time studying.

From the Paper:

"It would appear from this simple study that the students who spend the most time in study have the most impressive GPAs. There does not appear, in the study anyway, to be an association of improved grades based on whether the student studies in a group or on an individual basis, although this may be a good subject for further study. From the review of the literature it would appear that more important than hours spent in study is the issue that the students have adequate study skills and be able to use the study hours they do have as efficiently and effectively as possible."
