Study Habits Of Wyoming High Students: Shyanne's Interviews

People study in different ways. So to find out how they study, I went around interviewing kids about their study habits and this is what I discovered; many students admitted they don't study at all, while few said they only study for math tests. When I asked the question "Do you think you achieve your goal in the end", many shrugged or just replied "I don't know". The fraction that didn't study said they don't always get A's on there tests. When I asked them what they got, they said "C's or sometimes B's" but most replied "D's". I asked them "what tips do you use to study"; again they answered me with a shrug or a simple "I don't study" and walked away. From this, we could easily infer that students with bad studying habits are more likely to fail that test than pass with flying colors. What does this mean? STUDY!!
