End of First Semester

New SMART goal-

    Maintain good grades throughout the next quarter.

Specific: Maintain a 90% average or higher on my assignments and tests in the third quarter.

Measurable: My grades can be viewed on both Renweb and on my report cards.

Actionable: I can do this by studying, by paying attention in class, and by managing my time wisely.

Relevant: Doing this can help me get into college and find a good job.

Time-bound: I must keep this up until the end of the third quarter. 

    I am proud of how the second quarter went. I am satisfied with my grades in all of my classes. I feel that I have done a good job of keeping up with my assignments in Applied Study Skills and Technology. I feel that I did a good job in English, especially in writing my informative essay. I am still a student aid for Mr. Hackbarth in third period, and I am becoming much more comfortable with the setting there. I also feel that I am doing well with the content and verse quizzes in Bible. I now have a much better understanding of Microsoft applications thanks to Computer Applications with Mr. Cercone. I am enjoying Geometry with Mr. Goodwin, and my grades there are looking good as well. I am surprised at the fun I am having in PE during the last period of the day. Despite these things, I feel that there is still one small thing that I could work on. In Geometry, we are allowed to take notes with little 3x5 notecards, and we can use these on the midterm and final exams. I, however, have been writing my notes in a notebook. This means that I will have to copy all of my notes onto notecards before the midterm. It will be wise to write my notes on notecards in the first place, so that I may be spared from doing this again.

How To Prepare For Exams

     In the month leading up to your final exams, make sure that you are caught up on all of your assigned work. Remember to take very thorough notes. Do not cram all of your studying until the last second. Instead, study from 60-90 minutes each day. Creating and completing a mock test is very helpful as well. You can do this by looking in your textbooks for questions that didn't get answered in your class. Try to complete your mock test without using your textbook or notes. Try not to multitask while you are studying. If you have any questions about what will be on the test, remember to ask your teacher for help.      https://www.stlawu.edu/academic-support/how-should-i-prepare-tests-and-final-exams

Good Test Taking Habits

     When you are about to take a test or quiz, make sure to be prepared. Study for the test beforehand will help to make sure you know the material, and getting a good night's sleep will help you to better retain the information. As the teacher is handing out the test, listen closely for any instruction, so you know what is expected of you. When you get the test, read over it first so you know how long long it is. If you read through something that you don't understand, ask the teacher about it. Make sure to stay calm and relax if you are stuck on a question; chances are that the answer will come back to you. If that doesn't work, skip over the question and come back to it later. Once you are done, look over the test again and see if you missed any questions or if you made any obvious mistakes. https://kidshealth.org/en/teens/testing-tips.htm https://quizlet.com/_8saxs8?x=1qqt&i=35bn8e https://create.kahoot.it/v2/details/30de90b7-237c-4ebd-b13e-d7c7f35ad97b
