Studying at home is so important, but often students find studying boring or they study ineffectively. Good study habits can vastly improve grades. Tip 1: Use flash cards! Having small “sound bites” of information is less intimidating to study and aids in memorization. Tip 2: Create a practice test for yourself. When you start thinking about how questions and answers are formed, the material sinks in.

How do you study best? Any tips to share?

Harrison School District Two Gifted and Talented Student Blog: January Blog Topic:
Happy New Year!  It is that time of year when people make resloutions or set goals for the new year.  Many people make resolutions to exercise more, lose weight, save money, or spend more time with family and friends.  I decided that I would watch less television this year.  I outlined a plan that included reading a book a month, listing my favorite shows and only watching them as well as setting mandatory times that the television had to be off.  I set a goal and outlined a plan to get there.  The blog topic this month is about goal setting or making resolutions.  What is a goal you have set for yourself for 2013?  How do you plan to achieve your goal?  If you have not set a goal for yourself this year, now is the time to read and get some ideas.  You goals can be academic, health or activity based.  What is your goal and how will you make sure you are successful in achieving it?
