Here's what I do in general:

1. Sleep early the day before.

2. Pack your school bag with the following items:

- complete pencil case (this includes a few pens, pencils, ruler, highlighter, correction tape/liquid paper)

- notebook / organizer

- if your timetable is available for school starts, then pack your bag according to the timetable.

3. Write down your short term / long term goals that you would like to achieve for the year & come up with an action plan.

E.g. English

Short term

CA 1: B4 (60%)

Action: Read "The Straits Times", opinion section everyday, choose an article, pick out 10 words & search the meaning for each of the words in the dictionary.

Keep a vocabulary book for it.

Long term

SA 2: A1 (80%)

Action: Practice exam papers, and consult your teachers once a week to find out where have you gone wrong, which sections do you need to improve on.

4. Plan your study schedule for the term/semester.

- Spend more time revising on your weaker subjects.

- Practice 5 questions a day from an assessment book after completing your homework.

5. Form study groups to motivate each other.

6. Last but not least, PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS!

START RIGHT!
