Having Good Study Habits is the Key to Being Successful in High School

The time for preparing for the future and discovering your independence is while you’re in high school. These four years will pass by very quickly. It takes careful planning and dedication to get the grades you need to pursue higher education at colleges and universities. While it may sound tedious, there are many techniques you can use to help study throughout the term, instead of cramming all the material in at the end of the term. In this article you will find study tips that will assist students in making the most efficient use of their time.

As orderliness is a dilemma for the majority of high school students, making a day by day itinerary will help to stay current with your assignments and other projects. Don’t assume that you can remember everything, invest in a calendar or planner to write down dates and activities. To meet your deadline, stick to your schedule as much as possible. A good place to study is one that gives you plenty of room for your papers and books, is comfortable, has good lighting, and little distractions. Verify that you have all the tools you need to complete your work whether it is your computer, printer, writing utensils, high-lighters, or calculator.

Home School High School – What About Taking a Gap Year?

It seems like the idea of “taking a gap year” is growing in popularity among homeschoolers.  A gap year is a period of time (usually between 6 months and a year in length) where the high school graduate takes a job or does some volunteer work to gain experience before beginning their college career.

Gap Year policies varies WIDELY between colleges.  Some colleges say if you take one, you may be considered a transfer. Other colleges (including Ivy League colleges) will admit you, give you great scholarships, ENCOURAGE you to take a gap year, and STILL allow you to have your scholarships and freshman status when you return!  Unfortunately, any specific advice I give on this subject will be incomplete.  Your best bet it to contact three or four colleges that your child would MOST like to go to, and ask them specifically about their gap year information.  Remember too that their policies can change from year to year.  Also, be careful to get assurance that the policy they quote you is “grandfathered” and will not change if your student leaves for a year!
