Successful students relate their class work to clearly defined long-range goals. They organize for short term and long term goals.

Successful students take control of their educational experiences. They are PROACTIVE and do not see themselves as victims.

Effective learners have the ability to self monitor, to think about their own thinking.

Effective students know that understanding new information requires review and reinforcement.

Successful students use more than one sensory channel to improve their learning.

Wow, it seems like spring here! It’s only 94 or so today so we’ve practically had a cold front roll through. It’s a great relief from the 107’s.

This blog is going to be broader than the SATBlog which we’ll keep on testing and related topics. Since more goes on at The Study Hall than just SAT Prep, we’ll put up information and opinion about more that the SAT here.
