Setting SMART goals will help motivate you to study and meet your educational objectives. SMART goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound.
Here are some key questions to consider which will help you create SMART goals and develop positive study habits.
- What time of day do you usually study and for how long?
- Do you find your current study method effective?
- Are you happy with your grades?
- What are your weaker subjects?
- What grades do you want?
- How do you manage your time?
After reflecting on your answers to these questions, the areas you need to put a little more focus on will become clearer.
