Success in High School
-
- Keep a Calendar
- Calendars remind you of the tasks that you need to complete and by when.
- Schedule study sessions for classes before the week of the test.
- Studying over time is a much better plan for success on tests than cramming the week or night before.
- Prioritize the most important tasks.
- Determine which tasks every day are most important to you, and add them first on your list.
- Set aside time to review notes.
- Things like reviewing notes each night before bed can help the content solidify in your mind, so make it a habit to review notes for your hardest classes before you go to sleep.

As a high school student, you must find your passion early. They do not have to be lifelong passions, but you should have something that motivates you. Exploring areas of study and extracurricular activities that you find interest in can push you closer to your passions.
-
Use the SMART framework to define clear, attainable, and measurable goals.
- Specific: Clearly define what you want to achieve.
- Measureable: Establish how you will track progress
- Achievable: Ensure the goal is realistic and within your capabilities
- Relevant: Align your goals with your broader academic and personal aspirations
- Time-bound: set a deadline for achieving your goal.

A good example of a note taking strategy is the Cornell Note-Taking System pictured below.
The Cornell Note-Taking System, as the name suggests, comes from Cornell University. It involves dividing notes into three sections: (1) a narrow column on the left for questions, comments, and key terms; (2) a wide column on the right for general notes; and (3) a summary section at the bottom of the page. This allows students to capture the main ideas of the lesson while also creating a framework for review and self-testing.
