It is not a secret-
  

Tips to get better grades in mathematics:

1. Be punctual for class. Better still ...be there before the teacher arrives. This gives you time to review 

    the previous day's lesson, and think of any nagging questions/ doubts you may have. You can use the time 
    to consult your classmates first before asking the teacher. This habit puts you in the right frame of mind for 
    the work ahead.

2. Use pockets of time wisely - for example: while waiting for the class to start, waiting for the bus, in
    the bus, in between classes... You will find that a good portion of your homework for the day is done.

3. Keep a small note book to jot down the problems you encounter along the way and the solutions to these
    problems after you have asked for help. It is useful for revision. Also try out the questions you had 
    trouble with a few times without referring to the solutions.

4. Learn from those who are good at it. Observe and copy the habits of successful ' Math People '.
