How Can I Get Organized And Gain Better Study Habits?
I have a 3.729 GPA and i’m entering my junior year of high school and i’ll be taking 2 APs, 5 honors and 1 regular class. I’m trying to make up for slacking off those first two years and i want to get into a competitive college, by doing better these next 2 years. What are some tips to get organized and to manage my time and study better?

Have a specific place to study away from TV or radio. A desk in your room is ideal, so that you can have pencils, paper, and a dictionary near. Set aside a time period to spend on school work and tell your parents what you are doing, so you won’t be disturbed.
Take notes in class and review them at night. Keep a notebook of due dates for assignments and check it daily.
Ask someone to be a study partner with you. Use the school library during your free period if you have one.
A 3.729 is a terrific GPA, so you must already be doing something right. Just keep up the good work.
Good for you that you want to get your act together.
So I recommend you do the following:
Eat a healthy breakfast skipping a meal would probably make you focus on food or you can get headaches etc..
Don’t procrastionate on assignments take a list of all the assignments and tests and try to finish assignments at least one week ahead of time.
Do study guides for tests.
Look for tutoring if you need any
Do more volunteer work if you have time and be more active in school such as join sports or clubs it looks good on a college application
Good Luck in school
just focus more on your school-work. High school IS a distraction…..don’t let it get to you. Study hard and get plenty of sleep. That should do it!!!!!
