Master the moments and you may be a real pro when it comes to juggling the many demands on your time- classes, homework and activities - with some family help. You might need to take care of current clients while attracting new ones, respond to e-mails while working on a major presentation, or order tomorrow's produce while planning next week's menu. Someone said, "Wherever you are, be there." Focus on the present moment and give it all your attention. Don't let your mind drift and wander here and there when you need to be thinking and concentrating on the moment  at hand. You can't go back and recapture this moment, so make the most of it while it NOW. Master the present and you will master the future. Work smart by mastering the present moment.

Exam Day: Survival Tips (Part 2)

DURING THE TEST
READ THE DIRECTIONS.
It's important that you follow the instructions exactly. For example, some questions may have more than one correct answer.
ANSWER EASY QUESTIONS FIRST.
Doing this can jog your memory about useful facts. You may also come across information that can help you with other questions.
ANSWER EVERY QUESTION.
Unless there is a penalty for wrong answers, try to answer every question; you may be able to get partial credit for those you begin but don't complete correctly.
ASK QUESTIONS.
If a question isn't clear, talk to your teacher. If that's not possible, explain your answer in the margin.

• DOT-MIL is used by sites that are part of the military.
• DOT-edu usually indicates a university website. while it's published research is generally considered very trustworthy, anyone associated with the university, whether a world-renowned scholar on a freshman, can be given space on its server. professors sometimes put student course work up on the web, but that doesn't mean they're vouching for the information's accuracy.

Reading (Tips 1-2)

Reading and writing go hand to hand. The better you can understand a text, the more likely you are to successfully communicate your thoughts about it in writing. So it's important to develop strong skills in both areas. With that in mind, here's how to improve your reading comprehension.
TIPS 1-2
Tip 1: ANNOTATE
Be an active reader. Instead of passively reading a text, take notes about important story elements, key factual information and significant ideas in the text.
TIP 2: NOTE THE AUTHOR'S WRITING STYLE
Every author writes with a purpose, using deliberate methods to successfully relate specific information to the audience. When you're reading, look for patterns in the author's writing. For example, you may notice a repetition of key words, phrases or symbols - or the use of a distinct type of sentence structure. Authors employ these writing strategies to help readers comprehend a central argument or theme, so be sure to explore how these techniques create meaning.

Take Control Of Homework (Part 1)

Although very few students love homework, it does serve a purpose. Homework helps you:

• REINFORCE what you've learned during the day.
• BUILD study habits that are essential in college.
• PREPARE for your classes.
• GET a sense of progress.

Here are some tips to help you deal with homework more efficiently and effectively.
Set The Mood
Create a good study area with everything you need (for example, a calculator). If you don't have a quiet place at home, try your school or local library.
Know Where To Begin
Make a list of everything you need to do, and note all deadlines. Do the more difficult assignments first, so you don't have to face them at the end.
Study At The Same Time Every Day
Even if you don't have homework every night, use the time to review notes. If sitting down to work is part of your normal routine, you'll approach it with less dread. Also, you'll become a pro at using time productively.

Not-Taking Strategies (Part 4)

FOR REVIEW
once you've done all of the above, you'll find you've created you own personalized study guide. cover the main section of the page and use the key words and questions in the left margin as a quiz.
STICK TO IT
review your notes the day you take them and all your notes once a week. that way, you wont need to study as much when its test time. you've been doing the work all along.
Try out the Cornell system, but if it doesn't work for you, experiment with other methods. Ask your classmates how they take notes or ask a teacher for advice. Taking good notes requires practice, like any other skill. And the more you work at it now, the more prepared you'll be to take notes in college.
