Being academically successful in high school comes down to building good study habits. First, you’ll want to stay organized by keeping sticky notes and to do lists of homework and tasks you need to do for class. You’ll also want to keep track of due dates on a calendar and manage your time well (we recommend using a time tracker), so you don’t miss any deadline. Lastly, it is important to take good notes in class and review material you’ve learned in different courses including mathematics, biology, and chemistry, so you can excel in tests and become the best student in the classroom.

The key to staying motivated in high school is to define your career goals. Even if you don’t know exactly what you want to study in college, it helps to have several options in mind, so you can work your way towards achieving your dreams. And, the best way to get there is to start planning well and by doing well in class and doing extracurricular activities. Getting into college also comes down to how well you do on your SATs, so you’ll want to study hard in high school to ace that exam, and get into your dream college.

If you want to have the best high school experience, you’ll want to balance your studies with extracurricular activities. High school is a great time to try different sports including soccer, football, and basketball, among others, so take your time and find one that you like. And, last but not least, have fun being social and making friends , and don’t forget to stay in touch as some of your high school friends will be your friends for life.
