Teen Tips – Raising Your Grades

1. If you don’t like your test and quiz grades, double your study time.  If you don’t currently study at all, start at 30 minutes per test.
   
2. Ask you teacher for any extra credit assignments that you might do.
   
3. Get a study buddy.  Or maybe make flash cards, Or possibly take notes.  Whatever it is, get a study system that works for you.
   
4. Don’t ever not turn something in because it is not finished.  Forty percent is better than a zero.
   
5. When studying or doing homework, avoid distractions such as television, pets, radio, chat, or the phone.  Also find a quiet place to study, like the library.
   
6. Always start with your worst or least favorite subjects, so that you can focus best on them and also have something to look forward to.
   
7. Do something as soon as you can to avoid pre-day cramming.  If you get a project assigned one day, start on it the same day, in case other projects get assigned.
