New Year, New Goals: Tutorverse Tips for 2025 Study Success!
Take advantage of the upcoming holiday break to reset, realign, and ready yourself for the new semester!
The end of the semester is near! Though this semester may be wrapped, the story of the next is still yours to write! Now is the perfect time to reset, refocus, and reimagine your approach to academic success. Whether you’re gearing up for the SHSAT, SAT, Regents, or even just a particularly difficult class, setting thoughtful study goals can make this next semester your most successful yet.
1. Reflect on your Progress
Are there any study habits that worked for you last year? Any that left you wanting more? You can’t know where you’re going without recognizing where you’ve been.
Take stock of the last semester. Reflecting on your strengths and challenges will help you create targeted goals.
2. Set SMART Goals
As you plan ahead, make sure you keep your resolutions “SMART.” SMART goals are
- Specific: Clear goals define precisely what you want to accomplish.
- Measurable: Measurable goals have clear milestones and metrics to help you discern your progress.
- Achievable: Realistic objectives give you something to aim for within your reach to keep you from getting discouraged and giving up.
- Relevant: Relevant goals align with your long-term goals and study objectives.
- Time-bound: Objectives with deadlines help give a sense of urgency and structure to your studies.
For example, instead of saying “I’ll do better on math,” try saying “I’ll complete five geometry practice problems every weekday.” Be SMART when you set your goals!
