My recommendation, from my AP and Honors days, would be to make sure you have everything written down, even on a grid or checklist. It seems simple, but it takes the guesswork out of organization and prioritizing. Start with your hardest subjects first (whichever are most challenging for you) so that you are the most attentive and able to concentrate for those, and go from there. If there are some subjects that just come naturally to you, save those for last or sprinkle them between harder subjects – they’ll almost seem like dessert 🙂

Also, make sure that you have nutritious snacks readily available when you study – keeping your blood sugar regulated can do a lot to help you concentrate, especially after a day of school and two hours of field hockey practice. Stuff like granola bars, fruit, baked chips and cheese, water or sports drinks, things like that should be right within your reach so you don’t have to get up and search for them. Don’t eat them just to eat, but when you feel yourself fading, they’ll help like you wouldn’t believe.

Use your time on the bus to look over your stuff for the day and make sure you’ve got it all together. Use it to get yourself together, to make sure you’re ready for everything.

This helped me through high school, and carried on into college; now that I teach my son and several classes, I still use this system with my research, lesson planning, and prep before he gets up and after he goes to bed.

Good luck, and great job! Keep up the great work 🙂

No way to actually DO it faster but with some organisation you will save a lot of time.. sorry thats all I can suggest, being a disorganised person and studying myself I had to use a lot of self discipline to save some time.
