In the homestretch of your first year of high school, keep your focus on finishing strong. Final exams and last-term grades are a valuable opportunity to boost your GPA, so it’s worth putting in the effort now. Start by checking in with your teachers about what to expect and how best to prepare. Then create a study plan that takes into account not only your assignments but also your activities and other commitments you’ll need to work around. Be sure to take advantage of review sessions, consider studying with friends, and don’t hesitate to ask for extra help if you need it.
