Document Summary
The best way is with consistent, thorough proofreading. There is a phrase in basketball that you don"t leave points on the court that is, you don"t miss easy chances to score with sloppy play. Preventing mistakes in spelling, grammar, punctuation, word usage and ap style is the best way to improve your grades. So time spent proofreading your papers is time well spent! If you follow these simple steps, with every story you write, you will see your grades improve. Guaranteed: leave yourself enough time to proofread. When you are writing on deadline, you should devote the last 10 to 15 minutes to proofreading. When you are writing stories outside of lab, aim to finish the work a day before lab. That will give you time to put the story aside, come back with fresh eyes and proofread it again to catch any mistakes.
