Tips for doing well in school?

As we all know school is starting soon, and I wanted some tips for doing better.

I am smart, but have always had trouble sitting down and studying (doing most of it in class, on the bus. etc.). But have always slid by with okay grades (80-90).

I am starting high school this year at a much harder school taking several math and science classes in one year. I know that it will be impossible to use my old “just listen in class, and remember enough to do well” strategy. I am a fair bit nervous I will not know how to study properly.

I need to do well in high school so I can get into college and then medical school. So I can not afford to slack of at all…

Any advice?

Number 1 tip: STUDY. At least 3 days before the test for about 45 minutes- 1 hour. Use notecards, study notes from class and read in the text book. Do as much as you can. Even plan a study group with some friends 2 days before the test. It is sometimes easier when someone asks questions off the notes. Make sure you guys stay on task though! In middle school it was ok not to study and still do good on tests, but in high school it’s pretty much impossible to get a good grade and not study.

Tip 2: Do extra curriculars. It looks good. Join clubs they only meet once a week.

and for the bonus, balancing friends for me was a big thing to when I made the transition from middle school to high school. But it turns out that the weekends are usually great for hanging out. Everyone does their homework on sunday evening. No one hangs out during the week really because they all have homework too. Good luck with high school!

Just pay attention to what the teacher says in class, lectures (even though they can be boring), do your homework, and study when there’s tests and quizzes.

If you do this you will make good grades.
