PLEASE STUDY NOW!!!!! my biggest regret from middle school is that i never studied. I know it's not super necessary, but please learn to do it now!!! it will benefit you in the future, and if you have good grades in middle school, you can get in honors classes in freshman year, which will lead to ap's and honors in the future ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⇘ general tips ⇙ - take breaks (but not too long) - don't listen to lyrical music, classical/piano is good for essays, i suggest NO music for regular studying tho - read notes and then say them out load, it will help u memorize - neumonic devices actually do help! they're a little cringe but they work!!! - use flash cards - study with a parent/friend to go over flash cards - watch youtube videos - review classwork - go over to a friend (from ur class)'s house and go over things togther - focus on trouble spots - hydrate + organize - go to be early, get those 8 hours!!! - don't stay up too late, you won't remember anything if you're too tired - walk around during breaks, it helps you remember things better ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⇘ pre-exam season exam ⇙ - make sure to go over class notes - make sure everything makes sense!! - ASK TEACHER QUESTIONS!! THEY WON'T JUDGE IT'S WHAT THEY ARE THERE FOR - go over work every night - do the classwork/homework, it will help you understand better i swear! - listen/focus in class during lectures - organize notes + write neat ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⇘ exams ⇙ - study for at least five hours on weekend - study EVERYDAY after school - go over notes - study guides!!!!!!!!!! - highlight things you don't understand - use practice tests in textbook - go over old tests - for math, re-do equations during units - watch vids for any science class, it helps! - re-read textbook - take breaks during studying, but not for too long - have at least one really hard day of studying - make a schuedule - pre-plan! »»-----------► overall guys, i know exams are stressful. i know. but sucess will feel best in the end. make sure to always breathe and also remember that one test doens't determine your entire life (except for like law exams in college, but no worries yet). they seem terrifying now but in ten years it won't matter. try your hardest but that's all anyone can ask of you. once they are over and you did good, everything will feel amazing i swear! this is from someone who aced some exams and bombed others, its worth it! honors doesn't come easy, but i believe in you!!!!! make sure to know you are doing everything you can and love yourself!!! good luck on exams! YOU GOT THIS!!! I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!!!!!! ♡♡♡
