Thats a hard one,you need to learn to prioritize your time,you will have to set a time for each thing in your day,and stick to it,there will also be some sacrafices you will have to make,you may have to give up watching a favorite tv show just for the extra study time,you may have to forgo going out to the mall with your friends to finish your homework instead.School in itself is a career,so having to work on top of it is a big responsibility.Learning to prioritize your time,will help now and in the future as well..Good luck!

Every thing should be balance!\nHome work is importent but not that much that children loose more than what they acheive. They should have enough time to play, to explore them selves and work on their embitions.

1. Have a regular time and location to study.\n\n2. Get ahold of upcoming lessons and read ahead. *The reason for this is important. If you study ahead - when you do take the subject in class it is a review for you. You'll actually be ahead of the class when preparing for your exam.\n\n3. Work with someone who can help you - not distract you. * This is a mastermind technique you'll use in the business world. Get use to it.\n\n4. No TV. ( a little quiet background music is acceptable)\n\n5. Learn memory techniques. Do not rely on rote memory. * Use ridiculous association for subjects where you have alot of facts to remember. Your mind is like a filing cabinet. If you don't have a filing system you won't know how to retrieve the knowledge when you need it.\n\n6. Use colored post its to mark , "must knows, could knows, and should knows. Remember - most of your hard cover books are filler. Focus on what your teacher wants you to know.\n\n7. Eating before study causes blood to go from the brain to the stomach. Watch when you eat.\n\n8. Get plenty of rest. Don't party on school nights.\n\n9. Do "all your assignments!" "Write all your tests!" - falling behind because of missed assignments or classes will make studying difficult. If you have to miss a class - have someone provide you with notes and <ask> the teacher if you're confused. DO NOT FALL BEHIND!!!! Knowing your subject is like building a house. If you miss information your foundation will be weak and your house will not hold up! That's why students who miss class have a bad time of it.\n\n10. Set a goal for yourself in each subject you take and shoot high. That is to say...shoot for an A and you'll most likely get a B. Write your goal in the present tense - I.e. It is Jun 2007 and I have completed Math 30 with an A plus. (Describe the reaction of your teacher/parents/friends and how good you feel about achieving your goal. "Remember - if a goal doesn't have a time limit set on it - your goal is just a dream!"\n\n11. Never get into a tiff with your teacher - show genuine interest and you'll see a higher grade.\n\n12. Keep good notes - no...excellent notes. Notes that refer back to your text book and highlight the must knows! Have a table of contents.

Lucky you.  If you're planning on staying in school, though, I'd recommend you worry less about pay and more about flexible work hours and not getting overworked (20 hours a week is enough, if not too much).  A lot of folks ruin their college experience and finish without being able to think as well as they should because they jump into a job too soon.

Divide your time into blocks, much the way your day at school already is divided.  Have a block for homework, a block for dinner, a block for TV, etc.  It is up to you to stay on schedule.  There will be times when you will not have the time to use the TV block because you have too much work to do.  Likewise, there will be times when you have less homework and can use some of that time to play.  They key is to stay on schedule, everyday, even if you got off schedule the day before.  Good luck!

Studying will be much more effective with a proper, balanced diet and the right amount of sleep to begin with. You need to develope a routine and stick with it. Of course that might mean having to put a limit on your T.V. time or game time. You'll have to minimize the partying, and time on the phone. Just make a schedule for these things and give yourself the time to study as if it were a job. In fact, as long as your in school you should just have the mindset that it is your job. Once you're done, you'll have a much greater advantage in the workforce.

Establish priorities.\n\nHave a daily schedule as specific as you need it.  YOu might even need 5 minute chunks to start.\n\nHave a big master schedule for when assignments are due, appointments, tests, etc.\n\nDe-clutter your environment.   Often we are distracted and taken off task by "stuff" around us.  Try to keep things tidy. \n\nSet realistic short term goals for yourself.  Write them down.\n\nStop doing unnecessary stuff.  Sometimes we try to do too much.  But don't put off the hard stuff that really must be done - no time like the present - get it done now.\n\nPlan your day.\n\nAsk for help when it is reasonable, but don't expect too much of others.\n\nAs much as possible do your study in day light hours.  Research suggests taht one hour of study in day light is equal to about an hour and a half of study after dark.\n\nTake short breaks.  Generally marathon work sessions don't work for most people.  But make sure you end your break on time.  \n\nThis one might sound silly, but get enough rest.\n\nDo the most difficult things when you are most alert, not when you are tired.\n\nDo the most important stuff first.\n\nSchedule some exercise and relaxation time everyday.  It will energize you.\n\nI hope this helps.  Good luck!

Right now you hate school when you're my age you wish you had want to college to get a degree. The best jobs that pay good you need college. Don't quit you get breaks from school. You always have the weekends and all the other days and weeks during the year then two months between grades. Don't mess your chance at a rewarding career and have money to get the things you'll find like for a house,car,doctors,meds,gifts for others and groceries...etc.

Do not study for all of your classes at the same time.\nFirst, pick the class that is either most difficult (or the one where your work is due soon) and concentrate only on that class. \nThen, make sure to take a break for awhile before studying the next subject. It takes a little bit of time for you to clear your head and refocus on a new subject so take that time to eat a snack, phone a friend, or check your email. Then when you feel "refreshed", tackle the next subject.\n\nI hope this helps. It works for me.

Try to block your classes together with as few breaks as possible, except a 45-1hr break for lunch and/or dinner.  If you are a morning person, begin your day in the morning.  I have taken both morning and night classes, and I prefer the morning classes.  Oh, and if possible, try to get your classes only on a couple of days a week, say Tues. and Thurs., or M,W,F.  This helps with having a break, working, and studying.  This allows for all your homework to be done, and for you to be able to have a social life.  I prefer Tues and Thurs classes, b/c I get a long weekend, but in the end, it is up to you.  Also, try to follow the courses that your school reccomends as much as possible.  This keeps you from being a senior and taking a freshman course, and vice versa.  Hope this helps! Good luck with School!

Study, do your homework, see if there is extra credit that you can do.  There is still a lot of time in the school year.

I have always been a Teacher of Time Management. First you need to asses the amount of time each subject requires. From there, you make your timetable. Don't forget to adjust for walking from class to class, your outside activities,home responsibilities,personal time and then you can see where your loosing it. Now combine these results with the average amount of homework assignments and your on your way. Need help at any junction, send out a Question, Good Luck, the sooner you learn to manage your time the more successful you will be at every endeavour you attempt.

You can start by doing the simplest homework assignment (that's usually my method). However, if your case is that ALL of your assignments are back-breaking and time-consuming, then start with whichever first and get it over with.\n\nThe thing to keep in mind is just to get started, `cause it will get a little easier/faster/better as you move along.\n\nStudying-wise... make sure there are no distractions (computers, phone, social interactions, etc.) and set up - at least - an hour or so to study your material.\n\nJust rememember (and I got this from "The Art of Happiness at Work"): it is NOT impossible. Sure, it will perhaps take longer than you would like - staying up late, drinking a couple of more cups of coffee, etc. - but it will pay off in due time.\n\nTake care!

Keep a calendar where you write down all of your homework. Then, have a folder for each class. Keep some extra paper in it for assignments in class or notes. Have a place in your folder that you keep your homework everyday. If it is coming home, it should be the homework you have yet to do. If you are heading back to school, it should be the homework you did and need to turn in. \n\nGood luck!\n\nPS You might want to talk to your school counselor for a handout or some advice on having good study skills.
