Don't miss class. Listening to lectures and participating in discussions is much more effective than reading someone else's notes. Active participation will help you retain what you are learning.
Managing time is a critical element of success in anything you do — especially if you’re a student. If you set priorities that fit your needs and lifestyle, you'll have a better chance of achieving your goals and having a less frustration, maybe enjoyable, shool year. Here are some tips to help you succeed and create a good habit.
Create a Homework Survival Kit. Keep the supplies you will need ready and waiting at your "homework place". You might want to consider having double of the things you commonly use; one for school and one kept at home so that you have the materials easily at hand when you are ready to do your homework.
Make a To-Do List Every Day and Prioritize. Establish the importance of each item. Put things that are most important at the top and do them first. You can’t do everything at once; set realistic goals that are attainable.

Organize study and homework projects. Use your planner to help you keep track of when assignments are due for your classes and when your tests are scheduled. Look at your planner when you get home, don't just leave it in your backpack. Make sure it includes not only the assignment, but when it is due.

It's Okay to Say No. If your friend asks you to go to a movie on a Thursday night and you have an exam the next morning, realize that it's okay to say no. Keep your short- and long-term priorities in mind.

Communicate Your Schedule to Others. If phone calls or text messages are proving to be a distraction, tell your friends that you are only available at certain times of day and not to expect a response at other times.

Regularity is a key factor in academic success. Develop a routine. Choose a time that you can make most days; don't chose a time when your favorite shows are on. You'll work more efficiently if you figure out when you do your best work. For example, if your brain handles math better in the afternoon, don't wait to do it until late at night.

Designate a specific area for homework and studying. Eliminate as much distraction as possible. For everyone this is different; you know what works for you and what does not. Conference time is a good place to do homework if you have a busy after school schedule or no place at home where you can do your home work with minimal distraction.
Do Homework in Bites. Pace yourself and reward yourself with breaks. If you have multiple subjects that night, do the easiest first. Then take a short break between each subject, not too long, to give your brain a chance to reset itself. Then start on the next assignment.
USE THE 30-3-2 SCHEDULE
- Study for 30 minutes
- Take a three-minute break; let the break be a time to think about other things
Upon returning, take an extra two minutes to mentally review what you have just read and do a quick preview of what is coming up nextBudget your time effectively. Thirty to forty-five minutes a day for a subject is more effective, and far less painful, than studying all night before homework is due or before an exam.
If a concept gives you trouble, do additional reading or studying beyond what has been assigned. The internet is a good source, but be careful; a lot of things on it are not fact. And if you still have trouble, ask for help. You surely can find friends, peers, or teachers who will be glad to help you learn.
Working together with friends can be valuable in helping you understand difficult concepts. However, be sure that you learn with your friends and do not become dependent on them.
Be sure that any work you turn in is of good quality: neat and easy to read, well organized, and demonstrating mastery of the subject matter. Although it takes extra effort to make your work look this good, the effort will help you solidify your learning and it is also good practice for the expectations that future teachers and employers will have.
Review Your Notes Every Day. Reviewing helps you reinforce what you've learned, so you need less time to study before a test. You'll also be ready if you get called on in class or have to take a pop quiz.

Integrity. Do the work yourself. Copying someone else’s work teaches you nothing. And there is no pride of your own accomplishments.
Use Spare Minutes Wisely. When you’re commuting on the bus or train, use the time to get some reading done.

Get a Good Night's Sleep. Your brain needs rest to perform at its peak. Lack of sleep makes the day seem longer and your tasks seem more difficult. Experiments have shown that students who get enough sleep do better academically then students who do not. While sleep requirements vary slightly from person to person, most healthy teens (12-18) need 8.5 - 10 hours.

Don't Waste Time Agonizing. Instead of agonizing and procrastinating, just do it. Wasting an entire evening worrying about something that you're supposed to be doing is not productive and can increase your stress. Think how good you feel when something you have done is completed.
