15.f -- sophomore in high school to be.
last year, i spent way too much time on homework & studying. i didn't have any lack of understanding because i mostly got As, but i really want to speed it up this year.
last year, most days, i would do my homework & studying during lunch at the library for 40 minutes, but i still had 2-3 hours of homework a night. my teachers did not give too much homework, but i was just really slow in getting it all done because i wanted to do other things and some of the homework was hard for me.
here are all of the classes that i am taking.
AP US history
english H (my teacher likes poetry)
french III H
algebra II H
driver's ed
accounting
law
biology
please do not tell me to "google it" because i DID google it. i want YOUR opinions. ONLY GIVE LINKS if you point out what is important.
(1) can someone give me some tips on how to complete my homework faster without doing it all wrong?
please note: i will try to concentrate during class and while i complete my homework, and we're not allowed to do homework during class. only during lunch, which i will do anyway, and on the bus i can study.
(2) does anyone have any SPECIFIC tips on how to do do my homework & studying faster for any of my classes? if you've had one of those classes, what did you have to do?
i am almost half and half visual and auditory learner, but more so visual. so i do love flashcards and tables and charts. i have raided the internet of all "study tips" etc. and i do them all. i'm not stupid by any stretch of imagination, but school was legitimately my LIFE last year, and i really don't want that to happen again. as i said before, i did not have any lack of understanding so i do not need to go to extra help unless i really am having trouble. i just want to speed myself up. i have read about speed-reading and blocking out time tables in your schedule, but
(3) what else can i do?
(4) does anyone have any SPECIFIC tips on doing homework and studying (i know about not watching tv or turning on your computer or answering texts/calls) that not many people know about, or that are really effective?
thank you so much. (link)
