This year, my goal was to find a method that allowed me to study effectively and stress-free. I gave myself until March 5th to complete this, and I met the deadline. I found that limiting my work every night to 1 and 1/2 hours per subject, as well as using games and study partners, really helped me take the stress out of studying while still averaging 96% on my tests and quizzes. I liked the new things we learned about as well as the new teachers, who supported me throughout the entire year. Studying for tests and quizzes pushed me to dive deeper into concepts I had never even looked at before. I think overall, it was a good year because I was able to use my goal to push myself to overcome the stress of quizzes and tests that had troubled me for years. Even though it was a good year, it doesn’t mean it was perfect. A few things that could change would be having more of a variety of teachers in study hall so students can get better advice for assignments and projects from the teachers who created them, as well as getting rid of the schedule swap, as that created confusion which made some students late for class which may have resulted in the class missing important information due to the interruptions that are these late students.
