Hi guys! I'm starting to prepare for the SAT/ACT, and I'm finding it difficult to balance studying for these tests with my regular schoolwork. Does anyone have any advice on how to manage my time effectively and maintain a good balance? Thanks so much!
Hey there! I totally understand how tough it can be to balance schoolwork and test prep. My child went through the same challenges. One thing that really helped was setting a specific schedule for studying. Dedicate certain days of the week or specific hours to focus on SAT/ACT prep and stick to that schedule. Make sure to also allocate enough time for regular schoolwork, and don't forget to give yourself a break in between to avoid burnout. Another tip is to break down your study materials into smaller, manageable chunks. This way, you can gradually cover all the topics for both school and the tests without feeling overwhelmed. Lastly, try to incorporate some test prep into your daily routine. For example, work on a few practice problems or review vocabulary words during your downtime. Stay positive and remember that consistency is key! Good luck!
