There are many, many clubs and organizations in high school. Therefore, it can be very hard to decide which clubs to join. It is very important that you join clubs that you are interested in and will do for your 4 years in high school. When you are picking a club to join, think about your interests and goals. If you are good at sports, try to join the sports team. If your good at math, join the math club. If your good with speaking and debating join the debate team or something similar. Ultimately, you should join the club that best suits your interests and strengths.

Studying is the best way to succeed. When you study, find a quiet place away from distractions. Make sure your study area is away from TVs, siblings, and windows. One of the best study methods is using flashcards. They are easy to carry and store and makes memorization easier. Also, for long study sessions bring a snack.
Set a time for studying each day. Stick to this time period everyday. This will make it your habit to study. When you are studying from a textbook, highlight key points and ideas. This will make it easier to find them later if you need to review them.
Here are some test taking tips that may be helpful.
1. Know the format of the test ahead of time. For example, is it going to be multiple choice, free response, essay?
2. Ask your teacher if there is a penalty for guessing on multiple choice tests. If there is not, make sure you answer every question.
3. Always make sure you get enough rest the day before the test. Showing up to your test tired will make it hard for you to concentrate and do well on your test.
4. Study, study, study. The only way to do well on tests is to study.
SAT: The SAT is a standardized test that colleges use in their admissions decisions. The ETS (educational testing service) develops and administers the SAT tests. There are 3 sections on this test. There is a critical reading section, a math section, and a writing section that also consists of an essay. The scores for each of those three sections are scored from 200 to 800. So your SAT score would range from 600-2400. The average score for each section is around 500. The time it takes to complete the SAT is 3 hours and 45 minutes with breaks in between.
Acing a class is actually quite easy. First of all, show up to class and pay attention. Also, take notes and ask questions if there is anything you don't understand. The teacher is there to help. Remember that extra credit does help and do extra credit whenever you have the opportunity. For tests and finals, rely on your notes and previous work. They make great study tools. And don't study at the last minute, it never works.
1. Take a tour of your school, so you know where all your classes are.
