Ever wondered how the top people in your class score so well? Well, look no further, because their secrets are just about to get revealed.

Steps

  1. 1
    Read. If you don't read books, you're really going to suffer a downfall. Fiction is not a problem- as long as it's up to your level. The Percy Jackson series are recommended for middle school students, and Paulo Coelho for 6th Grade- 12th grade students. Notice the descriptions carefully and try to make your writings better.[1]
  2. 2
    Buy Comprehension Books. Comprehension books help you to analyse the information and think logically and help you for the unseen comprehensions in your examinations. Try doing ones higher than your level. It might seem tough at first, but you'll get the hang of it.

  3. 3
    Improve Your Vocabulary. Use the dictionary to learn new words or an electronic dictionary if you can't afford to turn the pages so much or cope with the small handwriting. An electronic dictionary has synonyms and antonyms or a thesaurus included in it, so it's a great deal. Not to mention it corrects your spellings if you enter the word whose meaning you don't know wrong.[2]
  4. 4
    Develop The Passion. You can never become good at English without the passion to succeed. Have fun while learning new words and think of it as entertainment. Even if it's not the subject you'd give the best preference, you should still try to develop a passion at the very least.[3]
  5. 5
    Read the top-mark scoring students notebooks.You never know what secrets they may reveal of how they make you read further on. Observe what made you read till the very end, and use it in your writing.[4]
  6. 6
    Keep A Journal. Write random jokes, stories and articles, or even pictures with wordings you like or collect them and keep them together in a single place. Be constant in your writings and make sure that you don't run out of writing instruments.[5]

    The easiest way is to read. Read every piece of English writing you can get your hands on: books, newspapers, magazines, and English-language websites. Viewing English-language movies, television programs, and online videos will help a lot, too.

Warnings

  • If you ever face a situation where you have less time, cut the situation or story short but don't lower the quality of your writing or the vocabulary you're using. Especially make sure that you do make the story as per your plans.

  • Make sure that you don't get too nervous. Don't read the writing skills before finishing the comprehension. It tends to distract you and lower your actual potentials.
