Are you struggling with your schoolwork, or do you simply want to do better? For many teens, school is a major cause of stress. In addition, good students can have trouble with schoolwork. It's a myth that only students with bad grades struggle. Regardless of the reason, here are a few tips for improving the quality of your schoolwork.
1. Talk to your teacher to identify your problem.
2. Learn how to successfully study. Just re-reading the textbook isn't necessarily successful studying.
3. Eliminate all distractions when completing schoolwork. (phone, TV, computer, ipod, etc.)
4. Find a seat in class that will help you. Ask your teacher to move you seat to a spot that will better help you concentrate.
5. Take advantage of school tutoring programs.
6. Get organized! (Use a planner to keep track of assignments and arrange class notes and materials in a way that you can understand.)
7. Review the material you are learning in class daily. Don't wait until right before the test to cram.
