Question

Can you give me an idea of some goals to have?

Community Answer

Think about what you have struggled with or could improve upon in your studies. If your grades could be better, write down what grades you would like to accomplish. If you would like to become part of a team or club, write down which team or club you'd like to be a part of and what steps you would need to take to accomplish that goal.

Question

How do I study for a test or examination, and how can I remember what I have to study?

Community Answer

It is important to take notes during class and keep them organized by date and subject in your binder. Often, teachers will review what will be on the test. Take note of that so you can remember what you will need to study. If your teacher doesn't go over what will be on the test, review your notes from the last test or start of the semester.

Question

I am having trouble with my goals. What should I do?

Community Answer

Ask a parent or guidance counselor to help you with what goals you've written down if you're having trouble figuring out how to accomplish them on your own. Remember that it's okay if you don't accomplish every goal as long as you are trying your best.
