Study Sessions

Aloha...
I know no one WANTS to study ... however some (ALL) of you should be making an attempt to stay on top of your school work. How? do you ask... How do I make time to revise and study over my notes?
Here are a few study tips to support you and websites to allow you to learn HOW you best learn.

1. Set an achievable GOAL. Set a REALISTIC goal that you can complete over the holidays which won't make you feel guilty. Something as simple as "I will finish reading my text for English" or "I will do all my reading for Bio" or " I will put the complicated math equations on flash cards and have someone quiz me once a week".
2. Give yourself a TIMELINE- ensure you have a timeline when these goals will be completed otherwise you have no time frame to monitor your progress.
