What Our Students Say

"Keeping a separate folder (both on the computer and in a three-ring binder) for each subject so you can keep all of your files for that subject in an accessible place makes life easier for you for sure."

"I think better when my desk is (somewhat) neatly organized and everything is (kinda) put into place."

"I work ahead whenever possible, even on weekends if I see a hard week coming up."

"Get outside for a few minutes or go for a quick walk during the day to give your brain some much-needed fresh air. It does wonders for you."

"You may hear this one all the time, but: make sure you are well-rested and well-fed before you take a big test."

"Communication is key. Your teachers, believe it or not, are NOT out to get you. They want to help you—they don't want you to fail."

"Finished that really hard essay? Halfway done with school for the day? Figured out (finally) that amazingly hard math problem that you thought you could never get? Reward yourself by doing something you really like for a few minutes—like playing games online, IM-ing friends, playing soccer outside, reading a couple of chapters in your new book, etc. You deserve it!"
