I need some help being organized next school year and if anyone has any ideas that would be super helpful!

My goal is to get a 3.5 at least all year... 4.0 would be better:P

I do sports all year round and I don't want to give them up because that's halve of being a high school athlete:P I am willing to do anything to get to my goal but I want to keep my social life to if I can! :)

My parents really want me to good good in school and I know I can I just don't know how to manage my time very well and I need some help...

Thank you for reading this! :)

You have to ask yourself how badly you want to have a gpa in that range. You have to commit all or most of the time after school is devoted to homework (as it should be). Keep social life to the weekend, mainly Friday and Saturday, with the exception of a long homework assignments, projects, essays, etc. Devote all the time you can to studying as well. Studying is a must to make good grades. People claim they do better in school without studying but that's simply a lie. Studying is vital to making BETTER grades. If you want a high gpa then it's simple: Study and study hard. As long as you keep your grades above a "C", then you should have the grades you want. "A's" and "B's" will give you around a 3.79 (that was my gpa) so focus on that. Keep movies, games, friends, etc as a weekend thing unless you have tough homework or long assignments. I had somewhat of a social life but most of my time was spent trying to get good grades and staying out of trouble. I graduated with honors so if you really want it, you'll do it.

For starters you need to work on your English and spelling - you can know the work backward and forward but if you can't clearly express yourself it will not matter.

How close to your 4.0 were this year's grades?
