Will you slay
your school year?
There’s so much more to scoring good
grades than simply studying. Whether it’s
the kind of kids in your crew or your snooze
quality, many factors affect the marks you
make. Take this quiz to learn exactly how to
have your brightest year yet.- School starts in exactly two weeks.
When it comes to your mile-long summer
reading list, you...
A. Got through each book, obviously. Now,
you’re going back through them all, high-
lighting key passages. It wasn’t assigned, but
you want to get ahead.
B. Have one more to get through, but you’d
rather hit the pool with your crew than
read. You’ll get started tomorrow.
C. Still have a pile of unread books stacked
on your desk. Looks like you’ll Wiki your way
through the first paper.
YOUR MINI REPORT CARD
You may have procrastinated your way
through summer, but try to get a leg up on
your work from here on out. Putting off
assignments shoots your stress factor through
the roof, so write out a timeline of to-do’s and
get going. Read them all? Treat yourself!- It’s midnight on any given Tuesday. What
are you doing?
A. Sitting at your desk with your PSAT book
cracked. Sure, you’re not taking it for a few
months, but there’s still vocab to memorize.
B. Zonked out in bed. Your gadgets are
powered down and your head’s been on the
pillow for two hours.
C. Eh, not a whole lot. Mostly texting with
your BGF while kinda-sorta watching a
Friends marathon.
YOUR MINI REPORT CARD
Late nights and cramming lead to poor
performance—and getting too few zzz's can
zap your motivation, too. So while it seems
like screening another couple episodes or fir-
ing off a few more late-night missives might
not be a big deal, getting plenty of sleep is
one of the easiest things you can do to feel
better and watch those grades inflate.ARE YOU
READY TO MAKE
THE GRADE?
