Whether you are just
starting high school or it is your last year, developing the following 10
skills will help you achieve success in school, in your chosen career, and in
life.
ü Time management
There are only 24 hours in a day, so what you do with the time makes all the difference. Getting your “free” time under control now will help you prepare for managing that extra 20 hours a week when you go to university or college and want to socialize more than study. Start using a daily planner, whether it be a datebook you keep in your bag or an online version on your laptop.

ü Good study habitsIf you’ve got good study habits, that’s great! If not, then there is still time to develop them. Here are some tips:
- Always be prepared for class
- Complete your assignments on time
- Review notes daily
- Set aside time each day for studying
ü Attainable goals
It is so important to set goals, just make sure they are attainable. Setting goals that are unreasonably high is a set up because you will be doomed to frustration and disappointment.

ü Concentration
Always listen to your teacher and stay focused. Be sure that you understand the lesson and if you don’t, ask! You’ve heard it before, but the only dumb question is the one you don’t ask.

ü Effective note-taking
You can’t write down everything the teacher says, however you do need to write down all the important points. Be sure to validate yourself afterwards by going over your notes to see if they contained the right answers to the questions on a test or quiz. If you are unsure, compare notes with a classmate or ask the teacher.

ü Completion of assignments
Teachers give students homework for a reason, it has a purpose. Put your homework to good use and remember you’ll only get out of it what you put into it.

ü Reviewing notes
Don’t wait until the night before your test to look over your notes. Go over your notes every day after school and add missing pieces while the lesson is still fresh in your mind. Compare notes with your friends and classmates and remember your ultimate goal: Mastery of the subject or skill.
