. Managing your time will significantly help you become a better student and a more-productive worker. Time-management skills are highly valued by teachers and employers alike, and they can help ensure that you never miss a deadline or fail to prepare for an exam.  Use a calendar or planner to help you keep track of deadlines, appointments, and other obligations. Don't procrastinate. You won't actually buy yourself any time, and you'll just be even more stressed later on. Break your tasks down into smaller, more manageable parts. This can help make a big project much easier to accomplish.  Have a timeline for the things you need to accomplish and work on those tasks in a logical order. Decide which tasks are a priority and which tasks/projects need to be completed before the next can be started. Every instructor designs exams differently. If your teacher hasn't specified how he or she arranges tests/exams and which material will be covered, you'll need to ask your teacher outside of class. That way you'll be able to adequately prepare for the test more efficiently.  Start studying early. Avoid procrastinating and cramming right before a test/exam. Try to understand the material both broadly and precisely. Start out with the general concept and work towards understanding the details of each subject. Test yourself as you study to determine which subject areas need more work. Use flash cards to review terms/names/dates, then design a self-quiz to see if you have a firm grasp on the material. Whether you missed an important class, have trouble with certain concepts, or are dealing with a stressful family emergency, there's a chance that your grades might slip at some point. If this happens, it's important to get help right away. Remember that you don't have to resign yourself to bad grades if you're proactive and dedicated to your studies.  Keep track of your grade in the course and recognize patterns of poor grades. Your instructor may not address your grades unless you bring them up.  Set up a meeting with your professor as soon as possible. Explain your situation (if you have a compelling one) and ask your instructor to help explain the material you're struggling with.  Try working with a tutor if you're really struggling with an important concept. You may be able to find a tutor through your school, or you can find one in your area by searching online. Start studying for tests or quizzes two weeks in advance or as soon as you're notified. Start studying for midterms or finals at least six weeks ahead. If you fail to finish your homework, turn in a paper on time, or show up to your job on time, it's no one's fault but your own. Accepting responsibility is a major mark of maturity, in part because owning your obligations can help you stay focused and committed to what needs to be done in the future.  Give credit for any sources you use in your homework and assignments. Never plagiarize or steal intellectual/creative property from others. Finish your assignments on time, and give yourself a few extra days to review the final product and make any necessary revisions. Respect the ideas, beliefs, and opinions of others, even if you disagree with them. Always conduct yourself in a respectful and appropriate manner, and never make excuses for your behavior. Taking responsibility involves both the good and the bad outcomes of your choices. Holding down a job while you're a student can be tricky, no matter what level of education you're at. It requires a lot of time management and prioritization. However, it's ultimately a very rewarding experience that can teach you a lot of fiscal responsibility while giving you a little extra spending money to have fun with your friends. Even if you can't realistically work full time, having a part-time job can still teach you a lot and prepare you for future responsibilities.  Find a job that's willing to work with your school schedule. Not all employers are flexible, so let them know up front that your education is a priority. Manage your time. Make sure you don't put off homework or projects until after work, as you may be too tired to do homework after a long shift. Try to stay balanced. Make some time on weekends or after school on weekdays to do fun things you enjoy like spending time with friends. Figure out a realistic budget that balances your expenses against your income and stick to that budget. You can find budget planning help online, or by talking to a guidance counselor at your school.
