How to make efficient to-do lists

To do lists are necessary in every student's life. It helps them remember due dates, assignments and things that need to get done on that day. They are simple tools that help you solve complex problems. To-do lists are helpful when you are forgetful so you will never have a late assignment again. To make a to do list:
  1. Take a 5" by 7" sheet of paper, fold it up and put in your pocket.
  2. Carry a pen or pencil with you at all times.
  3. Whenever you hear that you have an assignment, something due etc, quickly jot it down.
    1. The most efficient way to jot it down would be like this:
Whenever you finish one task quickly check it off. It is absoulutly reccomended that you complete all the tasks that you have written down.At the end of the day, you will feel good that you have completely done everything on your to-do-list.

How to get good grades in math class

Got a C on that math test again? Don't worry about it. It really is simple. It all boils down to 3 easy steps.
  1. Pay attention in math class. I know this is sort of obvious but it is important. If you pay attention in your math class, you should be able to fluently and efficiently finish your homework (importance of your homework will be discussed in the next step). You should ask questions often, clear up doubts and basically participate as much as you can in your class.
  2. Do your homework properly. I cannot emphasize this enough but let me put it like this. If you listen in class, you do HW properly. If you do HW properly, you will be able to ace your math tests. If you ace your math tests, you are bound to get A's in math. (well duh)
  3. Finally, careless mistakes are still possible. I mean it's math right? So finish your test as quickly and accurately as possible. Do not rush through your test. Rather pace yourself. and once you have finished all of your work, check your answers or do the entire test again if you have to.
Follow these three steps and be on your way to straight A's in math!

High school Applications

Organization

Organization is the key to getting good grades in school. If you look at all the rich people in the world, you will see that they have got themselves organized.

Here are some tips on getting organized:
  • Most basic rule: Keep a day planner. Take about a regular 100 page notebook, and reserve a page or two at max per day. Put you HW, tests, due dates, and anything else that could take up your time at all.
    • Secondly, aside from day-to-day events keep a Actual calendar with you are draw a calendar in your planner so that you mark down tests, sports and other important things that you might want to remember.
  • Clean up your work space at home. I know this sounds hard but if you follow this rule, you will be able to finish your HW and studies faster and more efficiently.
  • Put your Work over your play and free time. This is the golden rule. I know it seems tempting but if you follow this rule above all the other rules you will come out somewhat successful.
  • If you have finished ALL your work, and have free time, don't be afraid to take a break. but do not let your break go over a set amount of time. It would be wise to not have any screen time but rather listen to a couple of songs, play chess, and spend time with family and friends.
Keep checking back for more tips on getting good grades.
